Leo O'Mealia cvr/art; 2nd app. of Superman
DESCRIPTION
white pgs; Conserved cover cleaned
Leo O'Mealia cvr/art; 2nd app. of SupermanSuperman wasn't a sure thing. So uncertain were DC Comics (then National Periodicals) that the second issue in the Action series, prepared before the initial issue hit the stands, didn't even feature the Man of Steel on its cover. As a result, Action #2 is arguably even scarcer than the first, the number of copies on the CGC census are less than half that of the mighty Action #1. This comic, which was once considered a throwaway, worth only pocket change of the era, and intended to pass time for only a moment, has been preserved through the passage of many decades.This absolute knockout has had its cover professionally cleaned, but is otherwise untouched from its day of publication until now, and it's simply phenomenal condition makes it among the most beautiful Golden Age comics we've ever seen. The highest graded copy on the CGC census, its extreme rarity and incredible condition make it a must-own copy for any collector building a world-class portfolio of comics classics. We are pleased and honored to offer this truly impressive artifact.
Overstreet Guide 2014 NM- (9.2) value = $150,000.
