Action Comics #1

Jump into the way-back machine with Sleeves and Galactosh to the year 1938, when National Allied Publication keen to repeat the success of there soon to be namesake Detective Comics publish the first issue of their newest periodical Action Comics. In amongst the usual hotchpotch of cowboys, magicians, crime reporters, historical figures, comedy shoplifters, more cowboys, colonial casual racism, boxing, and Baseball... we discover a new type of hero for young boys to aspire to… one with strange… otherworldly... some might say ‘SUPER’ powers that got the first issue flying off the news stands and brought to life THE biggest, MOST important and SUPREMELY bankable comic book character of all time! We are talking of course of... Superman.
