First 25 Superman stories in \u003cem\u003eAction Comics\u003c\/em\u003e plus \u003cem\u003eSuperman\u003c\/em\u003e #1-5 and \u003cem\u003eWorld's Fair\u003c\/em\u003e #1. Holy smokes, this is ground-breaking great early comics at little more than $1 per issue! These are great stories, when Superman still had limitations, when police were still unsure about him, where he'd occasionally let criminals die (he drops a carload of them into the Hudson River, for example). He meets Lois, Luthor (\u003cem\u003eAction\u003c\/em\u003e #23), \u003cem\u003eJimmy Olsen\u003c\/em\u003e (#6), \u003cem\u003eThe Daily Planet\u003c\/em\u003e is first mentioned... Welcome to DC Finest, a major new publishing initiative presenting comprehensive but bargain-priced collections of the most celebrated periods in DC Comics history.\n\nWhat better place to start than with the hero who started it all: Superman! This collection features the Man of Steel’s earliest stories, starting with his origin in 1938’s legendary \u003ci\u003eAction Comics\u003c\/i\u003e #1 from \u003cstrong\u003eJerry Siegel\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eJoe Shuster\u003c\/strong\u003e.\n\nIncludes all the early \u003cem\u003eAction Comics \u003c\/em\u003ecovers, even the ones that did NOT feature Superman. There are some wonderful classics by artists \u003cstrong\u003eLeo O'Mealia \u003c\/strong\u003eand \u003cstrong\u003eFred Guardineer\u003c\/strong\u003e featuring Zatara the Magician and other early action heroes, before DC realized that Superman covers sold more than any other issue! Includes every Superman story from \u003cem\u003eSuperman Comics\u003c\/em\u003e #1-5.\n\n\u003cem\u003eVery well restored with original colors. I love these early stories, where Superman was far more (literally) down to earth, often leaping instead of flying, tackling ordinary criminals and social injustice, and working much like a vigilante, beyond the law!! - Bud\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DC Comics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59642385727774,"sku":"DCFSUP","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/dcfsup-dc-finest-superman-first-superhero-book.jpg?v=1784510498","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/dc-finest-superman-the-first-superhero","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
