2nd Superman cover! rare in any grade
Action Comics #7 is a classic pop-culture artifact simply as Superman's second cover appearance after becoming an instant sensation as the cover star of Action Comics #1. The brass at National Comics was still reluctant to admit that the Man of Steel was moving all those copies. In fact, there would be several more issues before Superman became the regular cover star for Action. (To be fair, Action had some great covers during that stint, wrapping the issues in the same pulp-style covers that had graced both New Adventure and More Fun up to that point.)
Action #7 still really delivered as Superman returned to the cover. Co-creator Joe Shuster's understated illustration once again sets the mood for the character's early appearances. Superman's bold strength and energy perfectly matches Shuster's simplified lines and stark landscape. It's also fun to see a variation on superheroes swooping in with the bad guy, as Superman dangles a criminal high above Metropolis. There's a classic story, too, as "Superman Joins the Circus" — specifically, as a strongman to save the owner from ruthless creeps trying to ruin his business.(There's also the satisfaction of a petty Clark Kent getting revenge on an office bully at the Daily Star newspaper where he works.) These early Action Comics remain top collectibles and valuable investments, with Superman having already spent decades being regularly featured in cartoons, serials, movies, television shows, and merchandising. 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.

This 5.0 Action Comics>/i> #7 is rare at any grade, with only 58 copies listed on the CGC Census. This striking mid-grade example sits around the middle of the pack of registered copies, and offers an impressively preserved color palette after 85 years. The book's remained sturdy over the decades, as well, preserving Superman co-creator Joe Shuster's wild vision for the Man of Steel's second cover appearance. The upcoming release of the big-screen Superman is already one of 2025's biggest stories in entertainment news, and this is a rare opportunity to invest in a key issue featuring the Man of Steel.
