Action Comics #7 (DC, 1938) CGC VG/FN 5.0 White...

Action Comics #7 (DC, 1938) CGC VG/FN 5.0 White pages. Superman's second cover appearance, one of the most valuable Golden Age issues of all, has this book impressively in the #8 position on Overstreet's Top 100 Golden Age Comics list. High-grade copies of issue #7 are practically non-existent, and it's a real coup to find one in mid-grade condition, as CGC's census verifies. This issue has the distinction of being the first comic book cover ever to show the word "Superman" (#1 had no text, and #2-6 did not mention the hero, let alone show him). Also, it's the second superhero cover of any comic by any publisher (at best, Detective Comics #22, also December 1938, ties it for the honor). The cover's by co-creator Joe Shuster, with interior art by Shuster, Fred Guardineer, and Bernard Baily. Overstreet 2022 VG 4.0 value = $96,000; FN 6.0 value = $144,000. CGC census 3/23: 4 in 5.0, 5 higher. HID09710052018 © 2022 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
