Supermans place in American History, Pop Culture and Comic History has been etched before most of us were even born! . Superman is known universally across the globe and is an icon in the same way the names of Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan and Babe Ruth are. You can ask people who do not know a thing about sports and they will know exactly who each of those names are. In the same way, those that know little about comics know Superman. The significance of Superman in pop culture and American History cannot be understated and the significance of Superman #1 is broad and far reaching. Superman paved the way for countless others and began a trend that continues today and has become part of the fabric of our lives. Despite the fact that Action Comics #1 is the 1st appearance of the Man of Steel and it is also the comic that is known as the first true superhero comic, there is something uniquely special and Iconic about Superman #1. It might be the fact that it is the first comic to have Superman in the title or the fact that its the first issue of his regular title completely dedicated to Superman or it might be simply the fact that the iconic yellow cover coupled with the elusive back cover pin up are etched indelibly in every comic fans brain. Not to be overlooked is the fact that Superman #1 is just about as hard a book to acquire as Action Comics #1. How can you get this comic book for FREE?
