Owner's Description

1974 D.C. COMICS FAMOUS FIRST EDITION / LIMITED COLLECTORS GOLDEN MINT SERIES. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME A REPRINT OF THE #1 1938 SUPERMAN WAS RELEASED. TO THE DELIGHT OF MANY COLLECTORS MANY MORE FOLLOWED IN THE YEARS AFTER THIS ONE. AFTER ALL, IT WAS ALSO THE FIRST TIME COLLECTORS COULD ACTUALLY AFFORD A COPY OF THAT FIRST ELUSIVE ISSUE. IT WAS PRINTED EXACTLY LIKE THE ORIGINAL DOWN TO EVERY DETAIL WITH THE EXCEPTION OF AN OUTER COVER ON THICK GOLD PAPER WITH THE IMAGE OF THE ORIGINAL SUPERMAN IN THE CENTER W/ FAMOUS FIRST EDITION PRINTED ALONG THE TOP, & ALSO A LARGER COMIC SIZE. THIS COMIC MEASURING 13.5 INCHES LONG BY 9.5 INCHES WIDE INSTEAD OF THE NORMAL 10 X 7 SIZE. THESE ARE PRINTED EXACTLY AS THE ORIGINAL & CAN FOOL MANY PEOPLE IF THAT GOLD OUTER COVER IS REMOVED THEY MAY NOT UNDERSTAND THE SIZE THINKING THEY HAVE A REAL #1 SUPERMAN.

BECAUSE OF THE SIZE FINDING A COPY IN MINT CONDITION WITH FEW PROBLEMS IS NOT AN EASY TASK. THE LARGER SIZE MAKES IT A PRIME TARGET FOR NICKS, TEARS, DINGS, SPINE CREASES AND CORNER BENDS ADD TO THAT THE WAY THEY WERE ALWAYS HANDLED AND HIGH-GRADE COPIES WILL BE DIFFICULT TO FIND. FINDING THIS COMIC IN A 9.8 WILL BE A CHALLENGE. IT COULD BE THE ONLY ONE OR ONE OF VERY FEW AT MOST TO GRADE 9.8.
