Dug a little deeper into the pile....

Gazeta 446 from Dec 20 1938 has the first page from Action 1 from the Chuck Dawson Story & the Zatara Story.

And as a BONUS the cover to the Supplement has Zatara with panels from Action 1.

Using GCD I believe that this is the 1st Cover appearance of Zatara EVER, US or Foreign (Action 12 & 14 are in 1939)

So Action comics has 64 interior pages.  I've been able to find 26 of the pages in Gazetinha.  Plus 2 unique covers for Zatara and Pep Morgan.

I still need to look thru the Tex Thomson & Scoop Scanlon & Marco Polo stories to see if I can match those up.

These came out 6 months after Action 1 hit the stands here in the US.

This basically is a "poor mans" Action Comics #1. 

I gotta find the Superman pages now.

Yeah, I know...... as rare as Action 1 is, these might even be more rare.  I'm going to keep my eye out out for them though.

I was able to score these for only $5 a supplement, so I think it was a pretty good investment.

This has to be insanely rare!  I wonder how many are known to exist?

I absolutely love the Action 1 cover superimposed over the chain breaking chest expanding image of Superman.
