Description: Action Comics #9, February 1939 DC Golden Age, cream to off-white pages, coverless CGC. The 9th appearance of Superman! Jerry Siegel story & Joe Schuster art! Coverless yes; but unrestored & complete with cream to off-white pages, ready to be โmarriedโ (if you ever come across a cover). The very few examples sold in recent times (seen in the photos), coverless & low grade, justify the BIN price. Comes with a reproduction cover & Superman story repro to enjoy. Action Comics in the single digits are extremely rare & desirable. This early issue of Action Comics featured the second front cover mention of Superman and a non-Superman cover by Fred Guardineer. A trophy treasure for collectors like me, who could never afford the covered version. As every year passes, fewer and fewer of these very rare old comics are available in any condition. Itโs simply incredible to own a book like this: Hardly any people on the planet do (see the CGC census in photos)! In time, when the market values of rare & scarce Golden Age comics become unattainable for most folks, or theyโre lost to the ravages of time, coverless comic books like these will increase in value substantially. ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ USPS Priority Mail shipping, signature required. ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ https://www.comics.org/issue/397/ Per GCDB, Superman penciler/inker Joe Shuster got uncredited help from Wayne Boring on this issue's story.
