Joe Shuster train cover/art (Winter 1940)
Superman #3 has Joe Shuster drawing of the most iconic train covers in the history of comics, hot on the heels of his take on Superman stopping a train for the cover of Action #13. Superman is caught here in mid-leap while carrying a stunned child whose awed look says it all about the Superman mythos. This classic cover also ties into the lead tale of "The Orphanage Adventure," which is an assemblage of Superman daily newspaper strips. This classic story has Lois Lane joining fellow Daily Star reporter Clark Kent in going after an evil orphanage superintendent. "Superman and the Smugglers" is another reprint of a classic daily strip featuring the early competition between Lois and Clark. It includes the infamous "faster than a speeding bullet" scene which had newspaper editors complaining that Jerry Siegel and Shuster were getting way too unrealistic. "Superman and the Dam" and "Superman's Phony Manager" (aka "The Man Who Sold Superman") are reprints from, respectively, Action #5 and Action #6.
_______________________________________________
This 8.5 copy of Superman #3 is a striking preservation of Joe Shuster's an iconic image of the soaring Man of Steel carrying a young boy to safety as a locomotive speeds through the frame — with only three copies graded higher on the CGC Census! This outstanding book remains clean, clear, sharp, and sturdy after 84 years. These early Superman issues are set to only become more collectible, as well. Fans are anxiously awaiting the launch of the big-screen DC Extended Universe with 2025's Superman, to be followed by Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow in 2026.
