When you compare Jerry Siegel's Superman in Action #1 with anything else here, it's striking how far ahead of his time he was. There are neat books here for sure, but fairly disposable stuff... nothing with the drama, the wit and the true cliffhanger ending of that first Superman story. I would've been back for issue #2 for sure! Gotham Kid, Larryw7 and piper 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would've been back for issue #2 for sure! Though comics don't have to have drama to be good, I will admit that by May, 1938, many of those comic books were definitely a reflection of the emphasis on humor the newspaper comics had, unless they were something like DickTracy, Mandrake the Magician, or the Phantom. Popeye was probably Superman's closest comparison in terms of being a superhuman who gained strength from an everyday source (who also wears blue, red, and yellow and had cartoons animated by Fleischer Studios). Also worth noting is that Dell Comics' The Comics #8 had a Buck Rogers-esque feature by Paul H. Jepsen called Rod Rian of the Sky Police, which stands out in a largely humor-focused issue.
