**THE STUFF OF LEGEND**

This auction features the first *FIVE* original, universally recognizable, virtually IMPOSSIBLE to find issues of SUPERMAN #1-5, first printed in Summer-Fall 1939. These are in a word, the indisputable “Holy Grails” of all comics, past and present. Now, here at last is the unprecedented opportunity for you to affordably own, not one, but ALL FIVE of the VERY FIRST ISSUES of this spectacular Golden Age pulp icon— Each issue a venerable American Institution unto itself.

These magnificent SUPERMAN #1-5 issues defy description and exemplify some of the best conceptual panel art and writing to come out of the Golden Age of comics.  More importantly, these FIVE issues boast the most famous and universally recognizable— not to mention remarkably ICONIC— comics covers ever produced, be it during the Golden Age, or at any time ever since.

Historically, the SUPERMAN saga had its beginning as just one of several anthology features in the National Periodical Publications’ (DC’s Precursor) comic book ACTION COMICS #1 (June 1938).  A runaway success, the new feature proved so hugely popular that National wasted no time in launching the SUPERMAN character into his own self-titled comic book, “SUPERMAN”— the FIRST  such for ANY SUPERHERO— premiering in Summer 1939.

From its triumphant debut, the SUPERMAN comics series has proven so pervasive and enduring across an incredible span of eight decades, that the ever-present cover image of the original SUPERMAN #1 (1939) in of itself, unquestionably ranks as one of the most reproduced, parodied, sought-after, and highly acclaimed comic book covers of all time, instantly recognized the world over, and having long achieved the status of a bona fide American pop-culture icon.

Thanks very much for checking out these FIVE phenomenal books.  Please review the auction terms below and feel free to ask any questions.
