NO BUYER'S PREMIUMS — What you bid is what you pay! The Joel Shuster illustration on this cover is a classic of simplicity and dynamism and has eye appeal above its grade. It is important to note that this is only the third appearance of Superman on the cover of a comic and that there are just fourteen copies of this incredibly rare issue that have been certified unrestored by CGC. We almost never see the book on the marketplace let alone at auction - you can throw away the guide on this one! Also of note, this is only the third time that we have offered an unrestored example of this highly desirable and truly scarce tenth issue. Out of Superman's first three cover appearances, Action #10 has the fewest unrestored copies certified by CGC with a mere fifteen issues. With over forty unrestored copies of the mega key Action #1 and twenty-seven issues of Action #7, it's no surprise that Action #10 surfaces far less often.This issue is special in terms of it's significance as well as it's scarcity, and has a great pre-World War II cover with Superman destroying an enemy plane with one mighty punch! Serious Superman collectors already know how tough this early issue is. It should be noted, that an opportunity to acquire such a scarce and desirable issue like this one does not present itself often. Overstreet Guide 2018 VG- (3.5) value = $41,300.

My Comic Shop History is a podcast hosted by filmmaker Anthony Desiato (My Comic Shop DocumentARy, By Spoon!, Wacky Man, and the upcoming My Comic Shop Country) exploring the business, culture, and fandom of the comics retail industry. In Season 1, a comic book store fell, a community united, and a podcast was born. Each subsequent season of the podcast, currently in its fourth cycle, has tackled a distinct part of the comics industry, including collecting (Season 2), national comics retail (Season 3), and comic conventions (Season 4). The podcast also includes the subseries Beyond My Comic Shop (featuring stories in and around the comic book world) and My Comic Shop Book Club (discussions of classic favorites and current hits). EPISODE DESCRIPTION Host Anthony Desiato kicks off the second half of "Con Season" with industry veteran Vincent Zurzolo, COO of the famed Metropolis Collectibles. Anthony and Vincent view decades' worth of convention history through the lens of Vincent's extensive experience on the con floor. https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/flatsquirrelproductions/episodes/2018-09-19T02_00_00-07_00

NO BUYER'S PREMIUMS — What you bid is what you pay! ACTION COMICS-1938 #1 The most important comic book in the history of comic books. This is the introduction of the archetype of all other heroes to come. Superman transcends comic books and pop culture. He is an icon of Truth, Justice and The American Way! Created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Superman is quite possibly the most recognizable fictional character in the world. The creation of two struggling sci-fi fans from the Rust Belt, the Man of Steel became an instant icon to depression-era readers, and easily transformed into an icon of American spirit and spunk during the brutal days of WWII. Since then, he has lasted as both a beloved character and a symbol of modern hope and vigor, making this first appearance not just a piece of comics' history, but of American history as well. With so very few opportunities to own a copy of Action Comics #1, no chance at the Mount Everest of comics should be taken lightly. The moderate restoration, with cleaning and reinforcing included, has potentially added generations of ownership to this outstanding investment collectible. From the estate of a private collector. Overstreet Guide 2017 VF+ (8.5) value = $1,775,000. If you are a new customer planning to make a first-time purchase over $25,000, please contact us 24 hours in advance of the item closing at 212.895.3999 or support@comicconnect.com so that we may approve your account for bidding.

We continue to be impressed by the solid investment opportunities these special pieces present to our clientele.” Session Two highlights include: Lee Elias’ Terry and the Pirates cover to issue #25, Philip Tan’s cover to Savage Hawkman #5, a Prince Valiant Sunday strip by Harold R.

NO BUYER'S PREMIUMS — What you bid is what you pay! Batman: First Appearance and Origin at Auction BID NOW! AUCTION ENDS WEEK OF JUNE 11-15TH Summer 1938. Superman was a runaway success for DC in and lightning struck again a year later when the team of Bob Kane and Bill Finger introduced the Batman to the world. Alongside Action Comics #1, Detective Comics #27 is one of the pillars upon which comic book collecting was built. “Although it goes without saying, I’m saying it anyway,” stated Vincent Zurzolo, COO of ComicConnect. “Detective Comics #27 is one of the most desirable and valuable comics on planet Earth and is an incredibly important piece of pop culture history. Every investor needs a copy in their portfolio.” While issue #27 brought the Batman’s first appearance, it took until Detective Comics #33 for readers to learn the story of how Batman came to be. Starting with the cold-blooded murder of Thomas and Martha Wayne, Bruce’s solemn vow to make war on criminals, and the years he spent training and perfecting his mind and body, Batman’s origin has cemented itself in pop culture. “Show me someone who doesn’t know Batman’s origin and I’ll show you the rock they’ve been living under,” joked Vincent Zurzolo, ComicConnect’s COO. “And check out that crazy cover. The Batman is packing heat breaking the ‘no guns’ code he swore to uphold in the decades of stories that followed.” Investment collectors can make a run on the world’s highest graded copy, Detective Comics #33 CGC 9.2.

Second City Collection Event Auction BID NOW! AUCTION ENDS WEEK OF JUNE 11-15TH Action Comics #1 CGC 8.5 ComicConnect, the premier vintage comic auction house, is delighted to announce The Second City Collection, an impressive assortment of rare comics, important key appearances, and exciting memorabilia, assembled by a lifelong comics fan who turned an obsession into something special. “This collection is like a love letter to pop culture, and it really shows the enthusiastic personality of its owner,” said ComicConnect COO Vincent Zurzolo. “The Second City Collection is comprised of some of the most carefully and meticulously curated comics we’ve had the pleasure to work with.” Amassed by a true comic book and movie fan from the Chicago area over the course of decades, the Second City Collection displays the breadth and dedication of his passionate interests. A sharp-minded individual, inveterate thrill seeker, and a collector of impressive paraphernalia, this comics fan was detail-obsessed, a voracious reader, traveler, and philanthropist. “I helped put a lot of his collection together, and got to know him pretty well,” explained Zurzolo. “He was a remarkable guy, kind of shy, but very open to new experiences and ideas, and when he fell in love with something, boy did he go all the way.” Determined to build a world-class private library of comic book treasures, he eventually obtained a collector’s dream lineup of major keys and first appearances. “The Action Comics #1 CGC 8.5 with bright white pages is a real treasure, and in fact, until we sold the 9.0 from the Nicolas Cage Collection for over $2 million, the 8.5 unrestored CGC copy was the most-expensive comic sold to that point.” This record-breaking copy of the first appearance of Superman takes a place of pride in this auction alongside a restored 8.5 CGC Detective Comics #27, the first appearance of Batman; a 7.5 Amazing Fantasy #15, featuring the debut of Spider-Man; and an unrestored 7.5 Captain America Comics #1, featuring the premiere appearance of what may have been this comic fan’s favorite hero. “He loved Cap so much, he actually ended up buying the costume worn by Chris Evans in Captain America: The First Avenger, which was in an auction I actually helped him out with,” recalled Zurzolo. “I remember how excited he was winning that outfit, he was like a big kid, it made me so happy to be able to share that moment with him, and seeing Cap’s suit again brings back very warm memories.” The screen-worn costume is not only part of this auction, but also one of the central pieces in the opening at ComicConnect’s midtown Manhattan Metropolis Gallery, which will display a group of Second City Collection highlights. “He would have loved this,” stated Zurzolo, “and it makes me very happy to be able to share this wonderful collection of comics and memorabilia with other fans before they find their eventual home come hammer-time.” Other highlights in the auction include the highest-graded run of the Avengers, including a dazzling copy of Avengers #1 highest-graded CGC 9.6, and the highest-graded #2 CGC 9.8; an unrestored CGC 9.2 copy of the super-rare Detective Comics #33, featuring the first-ever origin story of the legendary Batman; and a complete run of the extremely scarce pre-Marvel horror anthology Mystery Tales. “I think this might have been his favorite comic,” said ComicConnect Consignment Director Rob Reynolds, “he especially loved issue #40 which was prominently featured on the TV show Lost. He knew how rare this title was and would snap up low and high-grade examples including many pedigree copies.” Recently, early Marvel horror and mystery anthology books have surged in demand and value, as savvy comics fans come to realize that the foundations for the Marvel comics Silver Age revolution are laid out in these issues. “All the artists and writers who made Marvel into a powerhouse in the 1960s cut their teeth and honed their style in these horror comics,” continued Reynolds. “They’re so rarely seen that anyone who really cares about the history of Marvel, or the history of comics in general gets extremely excited when these books come to market. You really can trace how Marvel became Marvel by reading these titles and watching them slowly morph from horror comic knockoffs to a very specific and sharp style all their own.” Click here to view the entire auction The auction end-dates are as follows: Session 1 (Action Comics #1 - Avengers) June 11, 2018 Session 2 (Avengers) June 12, 2018 Session 3 (Avengers - Fantastic Four) June 13, 2018 Session 4 (Fantastic Four - Sgt.

So there is an incomplete Tec 27, CGC NG in the current Comicconnect auction. With soo much emphasis on the 6.0, the 5.0 with Hake's Americana and the Action 1 5.0, this bad boy has seemed to go unnoticed. It's coverless, missing the centerfold and page 13. Also the first 3 wraps are detached and it has the ever undesirable brittle page quality. However, on the unique side, it is signed by Jerry Robinson and from his collection. So with all that being said, what do you all thing this bad boy will sell for? I'd put my money on approximately $40K. https://www.comicconnect.com/bookDetail.php?id=757384

Jon Berk Collection Previewed by ComicConnect Click Here To Read About The Preview of This Fantastic Collection! “The Jon Berk collection is one of the most-asked-about, written-about, talked-about auctions in our history,” said ComicConnect Director of Consignments Rob Reynolds, “Which is saying a lot, as we’ve had some pretty amazing auctions in the past. The majority of these books have not been on the market in years, if not decades, and collectors are drooling over the chance to see these rare comics in person.”
