Funny story about that one actually. About 5 months ago Svndst1030 knew i wanted a copy so he gave it to FineComics at a con to give to me because FineComics had a pile of books to send. Well only last week i finally settled up with Fine and the book is now enroute to JoeyPost via USPS as JoeyPost has a pile of books for me. It should leave the States sometime this week. God knows where it will go next. I guess you could call it the forum biatch! grin.gif

Definitely a Curt Swan cover, and a real nice one!

 

In 1992, Swan was alone at a table in Macy's department store (of all places!) here in NYC, during a weekend of Superman promotions they were doing. I shook his hand and had him sign my Superman #423 & Action #583. I would have been around 19 at the time, and he seemed genuinely surprised and pleased that I even knew who he was. Very gracious guy. thumbsup2.gif

One of my earliest issues of Action. I have had this one for about 20 years. I am resisting the urge to start chain scanning/posting covers to this thread insane.gif
Please don't resist.

 

I appreciate everyone posting scans of their books. It gives me alot to look forward to. headbang.gif

I would like to see the notes on why this one is 5.0.

Looking at the cover, you would think, it would grade much higher. confused-smiley-013.gif

 

The back is in just as good shape. There's some spine damage at the bottom, but it doesn't look split. It has to be something on the inside. I guess I could crack it but I am not that curious. It's the best looking 5.0 I have seen. I would put at 7.5 if my other one is 7.5 and I think it looks better than that one.
