Trailing just behind Action Comics as the longest-running periodical featuring the world’s best known character, copies of Superman #1 in any grade attract attention. Since it hit the stands 69 years ago, though, it is odd to find one still in the possession of its original owner.
“The gentleman who owns it just felt the time to sell it had finally arrived,” Graham said. “One of the truly interesting things about this find was that the seller had no other comics in his collection, just the Superman #1,” Yee said. Auction plans for the issue have not yet been finalized, they said. # # # Thanks to our friends at Scoop for sharing this article.

An original-owner copy of the historic Superman #1, CGC-certified as grade 4.0, has come to light, according to Jamie Graham of Graham Crackers Comics and Harley Yee of Harley Yee Comics. The dealers were contacted by the grandson of the 93-year-old owner of the comic, who brought it when it was originally sold in 1939.
