Fred Guardineer submarine battle cvr; 5th Superman cvr! Shuster, Kane, Baily art
Early Superman Action covers are extremely scarce. In fact, National Comics was so reluctant to rely on their new sensation that Action #15 is only the 5th Superman cover in the title's history. Fred Guardineer's dynamic work here is a real testament to how Superman inspired comic artists, as the Man of Steel performs the impossible in a realistic-yet-fantastic setting.
There would still be three more issues before Superman finally became the regular Action cover star. Collectors are always looking for these rare early Superman covers, and the few copies that do make it tor market are usually bought and hidden away almost instantly. The contents are impressive, too, including a full-page back cover ad for 1939's World's Fair Comics, and a Franklin Delano Roosevelt cameo in a backing story featuring Zatara the Magician.
