thedude Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 NM- , white pages, 1st cover appearance of a key character..... Supes 16 for me too ! just want to clarify, that Supes 16 is the first Lois Lane cover in the "Superman" title only, .. she first appeared on the cover of Action Comics #29 (according to OS) or #27 depending on if you think that's Lois on the cover of Action #27.

Durden08 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Tough call on this one, as I'd love to have either book. However, I'll lean towards the Action 48. Supes 16 is hard to find in high grade, but Action 48 is just plain hard to find in any grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.A.tor Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 hello all... action 48, hands down for me (that was the 2nd to last book I needed to complete my action run 10+ years ago...bought one at the 1994 SDCC, in mid grade, only action book the guy had) rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durden08 Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 ...the 2nd to last book I needed to complete my action run 10+ years ago... Do you still own the complete run? If not what issues (if any) do you still have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not what issues (if any) do you still have? hello all.... unfortunately not...I sold the run (1-100) in 1994/5 I believe...from a CBG ad... a collector in DE (Frank was his name, owned a series of movie theatres up there) called from a CBG ad and we worked out a deal...the only doubles I had were a 5 and a 23, both of which sold in later cbg ads.... also sold my batman 1-300 run during the 96/97 years (Joe DUngan of Now and Then collectibles bought my 1-20-he had actually sold me most in SD in 93/94 and a lot I bought from Metro and other dealers, rest I pieced out over a year + of ads)... I had originally bought my action 1 (unrestored g/vg) in 1990/1, I Think, for $18K...paid $1500 a month for a year, my entire comic budget... rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comicdey Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Superman 16...just too sharp.....and such a clean cover.......and the 9.2 looks more than 0.2 better than the action IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 Action 48. Hard to resist a Church copy of a WWII cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comicdey Posted November 12, 2006 Share Posted November 12, 2006 The Superman looks like it comes from a non disclose pedigree....way too nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showcase4 Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 the reason I like this thread is because it's mindless ....and no one ever fights! Both of these books sold for exactly $5,750.... which one would you choose? .............or I'd have to go with the killer NM More Fun on this one......I don't remember seeing Leading Comics #1 on too many want lists Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashrael Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) More Fun #53, Superman #16, and More Fun #79 for me Edited November 13, 2006 by ashrael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedude Posted November 13, 2006 Share Posted November 13, 2006 (edited) well, shows what I know, I never would have guessed more people would want the Superman 16 over the Action 48, which is why I chose these two examples, the Supes 16 went for $211 more than the Action 48, both sold in Comic link auctions this year, For me the choice is easy, as Action 48 is probably my favorite all time GA cover, I've loved it every since I first saw it in the Photo Journals,.. now, don't get me wrong, I think Superman 16 has a great cover as well, the whole 40's look, the statue, Lois pining after Supes, and the knowing "wink" in Clark's eye, all add up to a classic Jack Burnley cover. however...... the E. Church/Mile High copy of my favorite (and fairly scarce) Action war cover ?!?!?! no contest.. I'll take the Action #48 (then buy me a nice mid-grade copy of Supes #16 ) I'd also choose the More Fun #79.

showcase4 Posted November 13, 2006 Author Share Posted November 13, 2006 Both of these extremely high demand books sold in the high $50k's Which one would you choose? .....or I would have to BARELY go with Batman #1...because it is #1...but the Supes is breathtaking !!!!
