This piece is one of the crown jewels of my collection. I first saw this piece on Worldwide Comics in 2011, noted as “Sale Pending.” I saved the scan and tortured myself for some time. Two years later this piece was consigned to ComicLink. The piece was previewed a few months before the auction opening, giving me time to plan and save. I opened a bottle of champagne when I received this book.
This Nick Cardy cover caught my eye when I was 12 and just starting on comic books. At the time this book seemed really old to me since it was published before my time. Superman with a big smile on his face, opening up a giant copy of Action Comics and unleashing DC’s finest from its pages captured my imagination.
