Description: Action Comics #9, February 1939 DC Golden Age, cream to off-white pages, coverless CGC. Comes with reproduction cover & Superman story repro to enjoy: The 9th appearance of Superman! Action Comics in the single digits are extremely rare & desirable. This early issue of Action Comics features the second front cover mention of Superman and a non-Superman cover by Fred Guardineer. A trophy treasure that collectors like me, who could never be able to afford the covered version, think is cool enough. As every year passes, fewer and fewer of these old comics are in the wild in any condition. Itβs cool to just have a book like this-from an anthropological point of view: Few people on the planet have one (see the CGC census)! In time, when pretty much all golden age comics have either been collected (and their market values become unattainable for most folks) or lost to the ravages of time, books like these will increase in value substantially. πΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈ USPS Priority Mail shipping, signature required. πΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈ https://www.comics.org/issue/397/ Per GCDB, Superman penciler/inker Joe Shuster got uncredited help from Wayne Boring on this issue's story.
