Owner's Description

ACTION COMICS # 125 CGC 4.5-THE CROWLEY PEDIGREE

COVER DATE: October 1948

This copy belonged to WILLIAM CROWLEY who managed to stock away two copies of nearly every Fawcett produced during his tenure as editor. His collection also contained several classic non-Fawcett comics including Superman and Batman titles and many esoteric comics high on collectors want lists.

This book went on sale on August 18, 1948 with a cover price of 10 cents. The page count was 48 and the editor was Mort Weisinger. Cover penciller was Wayne Boring and inker was Stan Kaye.

This book had four stories:

1. Superman: "The Modern Nostradamus"
2. Congo Bill: "Man Against Manhunter"
3. Zatara: "The Phoney Pitchman"
4. Vigilante: "The Reluctant Annie Oakley"

Superman worked hand in hand with the Police Department, which awarded him special deputy status. Superman jailed thieves and murderers by the hundreds. The message was loud and clear: common thugs were not welcome in Superman's domain.
