Action Comics #8
"Superman in the Slums" delivers a gripping early adventure in Action Comics #8, a 10-cent comic from 1939 that captures the raw energy of Superman’s first year. Written and illustrated by Will Ely, the story follows Scoop and Rusty as they venture into the countryside on a lead from their G-Man contact, Bill Malone—only to be ambushed and trapped in a burning cabin after their car is attacked. The cover, by Fred Guardineer, perfectly sets the tone for the tense, action-packed tale within.
