It's almost impossible to imagine a world without Superman. The legendary Man of Steel is one of America's most unique creations , with Superman becoming a cultural ambassador during the dark times of the character's formative years. Early Superman comics offer a special kind of energy and optimism that crafted some of the most coveted and valuable vintage comics on the market. Besides the dynamic color scheme of the cover, this issue has timeless tales of Superman taking on crooked boxing promoters and spies dealing in poison gas!
This is the 2nd highest graded copy in the CGC census. The screaming bright, canary yellow and deep, fire engine red colors on the cover of this copy are eye-popping. It is a really pretty book. Whether you are building a high grade Superman run or just want an early issue in high grade as an example in your collection, this copy is a must have. Many long-time collectors and investors often look to under-priced 2nd issues in series to tuck away for a number of years in hope for value appreciation. This is just one of those comics.
