COMICS: First Three Issues Of Superman Up For Sale

Issues of Superman #1, #2 and #3 hardly ever come onto the market.... let alone all at once! However, All About Books And Comics have put their three copies (bought from Sothebys in 1992) up for sale. They don't list a price, but I doubt very much whether any of us could afford them anyway!

Thought you CBMers might be interested in this:



Issue #1 is flat and clean with off-white pages, but the front and back covers have become detached from each other and the spine. The interior advertisement of the “Superman of America” coupon has been cleanly clipped out, but does not affect the interior story. Overall, an exceptionally beautiful copy, and the grade would easily be in the F/VF range if not for the two stated defects. Both the front and back cover still maintain nice bright color luster. The inside of the front cover is browning but not brittle. The inside of the back cover is tanning but not brittle. As flat and clean as the front and back covers are, the spine is easily restorable. Issue #2 is a solid CGC Fine+ 6.5. Issue #3 is an “apparent” slight restored, CGC graded VG+ 4.5, with cream to off-white pages.


If you do seriously want to put an offer in, the sellers can be contacted here.

Not a Supes fan but it would be cool to have these. I think the oldest comic I have is Avengers (vol. 1) #15.

They would be uber-cool collectibles. I have an Uncanny X-Men #63 but a first issue Superman would be Epic!

I wonder if it was a middle aged Gusto that cut that ad out... lol

Anyway I can't help but wonder about the cost. With the cut out and the spine it can't possibly be any higher grade than 3.0 or in other words GOOD. But considering how sought after and vintage this particular book is it's still probably worth over $10,000
