Set Description:
Lighting up the stage is the Action Comics, that seemed to start at the beginning of time. A very good place to start! With tights and underwear worn outside of the pants, only to prove formidable in cartoons, toys, cinema, and outer space Super Tales from Krypton and Beyond! Super Pets with cousins and other relatives galore, to have only "died" or been nearest death within my lifetime, in the early 90's!
A Superman?! A Death becomes you as told in the depleted resources that seem finite within the earth's sun and absorption, needing a Doomsday to tell of its tale of woe, bring on the 1000 + issues of ACTION COMICS!
Action has a pivotal role in most collectors' habits that any of them can recall the major keys. Action #1 being the most recognized as the 1st appearance of the Superman. Complete with a call to action for a backdrop when considering ephemera during holidays, merchandise, and or family attributes. It only calls to mind the gentle attributes of a family unit, and not just America but the world over, as the impact has been felt and rippled so far to several generations! There are so many that the hits can be considered readers from when I was a kid, and although some may still be in gradable conditions, they are more memories kept raw to facilitate the readings of old. With novels etc. and even Omnibus, there are a lot of worded picture books when it comes to the Superman, Action Comics, and the red and blue!

2nd appearance of Supergirl! Adventures come soon enough, as family gets together and sorts out each other's ways of handling being "SUPER!" It takes into account the virtue established for someone from Krypton and keeps tradition alive. It is still early enough on in the run for these kinds of stories to add character and the fleshing out of already overpowered superheroes. It shows the guiding tutelage of an otherwise cousinly relatable relationship, and goes to show that most families need bonds, themselves, within their trust circle. Indeed, Supergirl shows usefulness as well being a companion for Superman and Superboy's or any other person of great strength and character to feel comfortable in their duties! With TV shows and making a splash within the DC circle of fans, the characters strengths from DC can take a backdoor to a pastime of tradition long standing within comics, and Lord willing prolong it into the future!
Complete with a back cover picture of the sole Supergirl statue owned, that is simple and to the point showing the flight of purpose and Wonder Woman approved. As well all the prowess that one comes to know from watching and reading the Krypton chronicles that are a sweet-smelling savor in keeping with the times. It takes one's own character into account to hopefully teach the pursuit of happiness. Long Live the Pursuit from the Halls of Justice!
Grader Notes:
light foxing to cover;

1st appearance of Manchester Black & the Elite. 2nd Print! Joe Kelly story. Doug Mahnke & Lee Bermejo art. Tim Bradstreet cover. "What is so funny about Truth, Justice and the American Way?" It all gets the front-page treatment with British surmising characters that make some filler but pivotal to the storyline. Clark Kent seen with an inner struggle on the cover as a Superman, taking him back to his roots may prove that his bedrock needs an adjustment in the Faultline with the chaotic scenario about his day to day. Those secrets may prove formidable when it comes into alignment, and those surrounding impacting characters that aren't so super on their own, save what is in their hearts as the pursuit of happiness, will find him breathing life into the Supergirl TV show! When someone has your back or comes in when the cards are down, it can prove to be a friend indeed! Bought raw at the DVD store I frequent for cover price, a little dismayed it was a second print, but all good.
Complete with a back cover picture of the "screen" at the prescreen before released publicly of "Shazam!" The first in a modern tradition in theaters of a more "universal type" superhero that need only say "The Word" to become a rescuer of lost souls. Seen across waters and planes of existence from the far off or even somewhat mystical, with roots in all forms and teammates with equal "word-like" demonstrations of a DC property. He still looks up to the Superman, both with long awaited action in comics! When a Super-man "can't" a Clark can, and vice versa, as it takes the honorable calling for peoples to link together and commonly find the hope that is found in those of character. i.e. Superman, Shazam, and hopefully within the DC!

Death appearance. Paul Cornell & Nick Spencer stories. Pete Woods & R.B. Silva art. David Finch cover. I'm a big fan of Finch, and if you ever pay for a sketch, I feel that you will not be disappointed! These characters "owned" by DC make for fanfare, as some come from the Sandman Series but this being in continuity for DC in superhero comics! Glad to represent. I picked this at Comic-Con 2023 Fan Expo. I haggled and might have traded, but basically the cost of it was at $30 then the cost to grade, at $62 all in! Glad it came back 9.8 that is a sweet piece of business right there! A nice presenting copy that keeps some type of Action Comics in the collection, which is weird as I read mostly Superman as a kid, but there is no denying that Marvel in majesty as an adult.
Complete with a back cover of Action Comics #800 and a newsstand at that, these two were interesting enough for the covers as an adult to pick up some Superman and watch him fly around! Yeehaw!
