1 of 4 in 9.8 when purchased.
Only a hand full of titles in comics' history have reached 500 issues. <i>Action Comics</i> reached this milestone in 1979 - the first or one of the first titles to do so.
This very special issue was at the top of my want list ever since I was 12. Supergirl and Lois Lane look hot against a background of classic <i>Action Comics</i> covers!
The top row of covers are issues #44, #295, and #1. The second row is almost unidentifiable with the exception of the third cover on the right, which shows just enough to be identified as #23 (first Lex Luthor). The third row consists of covers #426, #484 and #285. If you look closely you can see the cover of <i>Action Comics</i> #1 twice.
I like seeing covers 400 (on back cover) and 484 on this anniversary cover, since I have them in my collection! This issue either comes with a truncated DC logo or a UPC box, both are never complete, I'll take the truncated UPC box any day for this issue.
