From my collection: Acton Comics #419 from Dec. '72! A GREAT Neal Adams cover which would be used many times; most recently on the cover for Entertainment Weekly! The city scape background is a photocopy-Adams used this technique frequently, as did another industry giant, Jack Kirby!
With a cover date of June, 1938, the first issue of Action Comics was published 18 April, 1938. The cover and the first 13 pages of the 60+ page comic book were devoted to a new character: Superman! After years of trial and effort, this figure and his story were finally published: bringing forth the first comic book super-hero created for that medium, and forever changing our cultural landscape.
