“Superman Origin”

DC's 2022 facsimile edition of Action Comics #1 reproduces the most recognized cover in superhero history with remarkable fidelity — a caped Superman hoisting a green automobile overhead and smashing it against a rocky surface while two terrified figures flee and cower nearby. The cover art by Joe Shuster crackles with raw energy, that vivid yellow burst behind the car and the scattering debris capturing the sheer, almost primal excitement of a new kind of hero. It's a wonderful opportunity to hold this landmark June 1938 image in a fresh, high-quality printing, paired with Jerry Siegel and Shuster's original Superman story inside.

Superman delivers a witness to the governor to stop an execution, then stops a wife-beater. Later Superman, as Clark Kent, goes out with Lois, but she earns the wrath of Butch Matson and Superman must save her. Finally, Clark is assigned a story on the South American republic of San Monte. He heads to Washington DC to find out who is behind Senator Barrows pushing legislation which will embroil the United States in a war in Europe by grabbing lobbyist Alex Greer and scaring the truth out of him.
