Original Action Comics #1 Front Cover Fragment 0

[Wayne-Tec]

Hey guys,

It’s been a long time since I’ve been this excited about anything in comics, so I’d like to share my latest acquisition with all of you. It’s an original Action Comics #1 front cover fragment—just the “No. 1.”

It originated from a scrapbook that Heritage authenticated years ago. While it’s easy to cringe at the thought of someone cutting up an Action Comics #1, this fragment probably wouldn’t have survived the test of time without someone making a conscious effort to preserve it.

I’ve owned single Superman pages from Action Comics #1 and all of them have been incredible. But this as on another level and is probably as close as I’ll ever get to the top of the mountain.

With a "pieces added" notation you could have so much more to show off.

But seriously, I always enjoy seeing someone so excited about adding a treasure to their collection

I know of at least two copies that are missing the “No. 1” (or most of it).

Those copies are a bit more complete than mine though.

You can literally say you own  "Number 1" of Action Comics.

The only examples of Action Comics #1 front cover that I’ve ever seen have been the Heritage scrapbook that this came from and the 2/3 CGC cover.

Of course, the latter was missing the logo and the “No. 1.”
