Superman # 1 1974 - 2017 1938 Reprints / Swipes / Variant / 9.8

Category:  Varieties
Owner:  Superman 9.8


Set Description
This set will be a tribute to the Action Comics #1 1938 Superman containing "Reprints" printed from 1974 - 2004. It will also include swipe / variant / and homage comics honoring the original #1 Superman drawn by many different creative comic book artists. These variant / swipe and homage covers will add to making this set unique printed in recognition to the original # 1 Superman. Finding these swipe / variant and homage comics will be a definite challenge. Last reprint issue in this series is now the recently released 2017 "Loot Crate Edition" and also another recently released "variant reprint" the 2016 Mexican edition, this issue is printed in Spanish. Both will be added when suitable copies are found. All other reprints were printed only in the years from 1974 to 2004. The first reprint was the 1974 Treasury Edition, a larger comic format than previously released comics, then two printings in 1976 / a Free Safeguard issue & the 10c cover price issue, 1983 10c Peanut Butter reverse issue,(a rare comic), 1987 Nestle Quick Bunny on reverse / 10c cover price. 1988 50 year anniversary edition, two printings this year, a direct sales issue with bar code bottom left corner, the other has a garbage can bottom left corner. 1992 two issues printed / one with 10c cover price, the other is a $1 cover price, most of the $1 copies graded are signed by creator Jerry Siegel, have not seen any 10c covers signed by Jerry Siegel, not sure if any exists. If a 10c copy ever appears it will be rare. The CGC census does not separate these two copies printed so can't be positive if one exists. 1993 / most all CGC graded comics are signed by Jerry Siegel, with only 3 unsigned copies grading 9.8, 1998 USPS First Day of Issue...postage & stamped canceled by the Post Office September 10th 1998, very few of these 1998 USPS copies have been found "without" the canceled postage...those copies are rare. Millennium 2000 issue with gold foil stamp top left on cover 11 so far graded 9.8. A semi-rare 2004 mini comic size roughly 3 x 5 originally included with a Superman limited edition figure. In four years have only seen four of these for sale / no Superman figure has ever been found with this comic to date. If a 9.8 is ever graded it could be the rarest reprint comic in this series, & could be the only one to grade that high. Will be extremely rare if one is ever found with the Superman figure, and would be holy grail addition to this set if one ever grades 9.8, chances are highly unlikely to ever find one with the mini comic and figure together. After seeing many comics that have the "influence" of the # 1 1938 Superman in the drawings and images on their covers will be adding many of those comics that "fit" the look of the original Superman to this set. Many comic artists have been inspired by the #1 Superman and there are many comics that look like there is similarity on the covers. Some of these may not have anything to do with being an actual intended variant, so I will be selective on picking these comics & want them to honestly relate in some way as an homage to the #1 Superman, there are some great comics that fit this description. When found they will be added to this set. Some of the comics seen so far look to be excellent choices. It will be worth the extra effort making this set as complete as possible with as many different variants, homage, or swipe covers to be found. This adds a unique challenge to finding the highest grades possible in these variant covers. Only CGC 9.8 graded copies will be added...if no 9.8 copy is available a lower graded copy may be used until a 9.8 copy is found. Most comics not grading 9.8 in this set has a 99% probability a comic I sent to CGC. I will be striving for all copies to be 9.8 CGC graded issues. Many of these variant / swipe / homage covers may not be worth grading fees/purchase price / shipping to and from CGC for grading, but adds a value of a complete set with as many different variations as possible. Finding so many different comics will definitely be a challenge, finding them in high grade adds to the difficulty, finding all 9.8 comics of the different variant copies will be a huge challenge. The coveted Signature Series / signed copies / unsigned copies of the same issue will be added to complete this set with as many different variables as possible. Signature Series may be difficult finding because signed in limited quantities & difficult getting signatures. Many of the swipes may not be worth the cost to grade. Copies I send hopefully will grade 9.0 & higher / these comics may be the only ones graded because of limited collector interest & value.

Set Goals
Adding as many 9.8 CGC graded # 1 Superman Reprints from 1974 - 2017, and as many different swipe / variant covers that can be found. It will be difficult finding all reprints grading 9.8, they may prove to be elusive. Reprints from 1974 - 2017 are the main priority but the many different swipe / variant / and homage covers will be an important part in this ongoing series as well. Will always be looking for new printings / swipe/ variant & homage copies of the original 1938 # 1 Superman. I know that there are comics that will not grade 9.8 / lower grade copies will be used until suitable copies are found. Many comics grading 9.8 will be the only copies on the CGC census meaning it's one of one, finding some of those issues will prove to be a huge challenge as some of those 9.8 copies are the only ones graded could be in other collectors set, and may never be for sale.
