Fred Ray cover + Joe Shuster art
Highest Graded


Superman #9 boasts one of the all-time classic Superman covers from the mighty Fred Ray, whose amiably powerful Superman came to define the character's public and merchandising persona for the first decade of his existence. This issue is also a top Superman collectible for two classic stories. That includes Clark Kent ditching his timidity whenever a framed Lois Lane isn't around in "The Phony Pacifists." There's also the surprisingly brutal "Joe Gatson, Racketeer." The story begins with Superman foiling a judge's suicide, and ends with a grim twist on "faster than a speeding bullet." Instead of stepping in to protect the judge's kidnapped daughter from a gunshot, Superman just kills off the titular gangster by throwing him into the bullet's path!

This striking 9.2 Superman #9 ranks at the top of the CGC Census!
One of the three highest-graded copies, this exemplary example of Superman #9 is simply stunning. From the blazing color strike to the spine, the sharp corners to the classic Fred Ray illustration, this is just a breathtaking book. We expect there to be some heated competition over this lot come auction time. With the release of the latest iteration of Superman coming to the silver screen in just a few months, the Man of Steel’s key issues are poised for a jump in value and desirability. This is a very impressive find which is in a state of preservation rarely seen in Golden Age comics with such historical importance.
