Action Comics 1

Action Comics #1 (June 1938) is the first issue of the comic book series Action Comics. It features the first appearance of several comic book heroes, most notably the Jerry Siegel/Joe Shuster creation Superman. For this reason it is widely considered both the beginning of the super-hero genre and the most valuable comic book of all time: as of 2011 it is the only comic to have sold for more than $2 million for a single original copy.

Famous quotes containing the word action:

    Let those who go home tell the same story of you:
    Of action with a common purpose, action
    None the less fruitful if neither you nor we
    Know, until the moment after death
    What is the fruit of action.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
