Superman Comic a Day

Trying to become an expert one Superman Comic at a time

[supermancomicaday]

Now to Superman #10, looking forward to these comics being shorter. Superman #10 is worth between $190-$14,000. The record sale was $14,000 in 2012. Luthor story! He always comes prepared.…

Day 46: I just want these issues to be shorter!

[supermancomicaday]

I am of two minds about Action Comics #36 The Fifth Columnists. It’s not a very well-structured Superman story but at the same time, it has the biggest challenges Superman…

Day 45: Nazi cults are trying to make America great again! Superman is going to kick their collective asses

[supermancomicaday]

Superman #9 opens with The Phony Pacifists which apparently involves the Fifth Column group from the last issue of Superman but I don’t recall them ever being called that. Superman…

Day 43: I get fed up with a Golden Age Superman story.

[supermancomicaday]

The Coal Mine Heiress becomes eventful by the end but for the most part, it’s a pretty quick read. Action Comics #34 is worth between $300-$8,000. The record sale was…

Day 43: No one has any respect for a mine!

[supermancomicaday]

The Lumber Millionaire is probably one of the least eventful Action Comics issues. First of all, we’re back with the Jack Burnley art and, my god, does it look so…

Day 41: The villain wears a mask in his own office. It's like Bruce Wayne wearing the cowl during business meetings. 

[supermancomicaday]

Superman #8 is worth between $425-$11,950. The first story right off the bat is an actual fun story to start Superman #8. The Giants Professor Zee is 100% a B-horror…

Day 40: SUPERMAN FIGHTS GIANTS!

[supermancomicaday]

Back to Superman for Superman #7, which was printed in September but as the December issue of 1940. Yeah, I probably should have covered this comic before but usually, it’s…

Day 39: The District Attorney keeps changing in Superman #7

[supermancomicaday]

Jack Burnley’s art has been a welcomed addition to the Superman books. His art is detailed and his inking is dark and bold. His characters are fairly striking and clean.…

Day #38: Superman's war on gambling is not working. 

[supermancomicaday]

The Hand of Morpheus is a pretty dramatic title for a story that never actually includes the words the Hand of Morpheus. Well, Morpheus is mentioned in the teaser that…

Day 37: Brentville is asleep! If only Superman can... oh it doesn't work on Superman. Everything's fine.

[supermancomicaday]

Finally, a big fantastical Superman story I’ve been waiting for. Unfortunately, it also comes with some xenophobia. Always a monkey’s paw with the series. Action Comics #30 is worth $300-$6,425.…

Day 36: A lost city and deadly mini-suns? Slow down. Superman might be getting too exciting

[supermancomicaday]

Back to Superman for another overly long comic with four stories. Superman #6 is worth between $900-$28,000. Quality Comix is not consistent with the record sale. Lois Lane; Murder Suspect…

Day 35: Lois Lane is wanted for murder! A town is under attack by "Brute!" New buildings are collapsing!

[supermancomicaday]

And just like that, we’re back to the same old same old. I was hoping to have a little more fun with Superman. Action Comics #29 is worth between $800-$26,000.…

Day 34: Superman takes one villain, another takes his place.

[supermancomicaday]

I’m quite surprised that Siegel hasn’t gone back to doing the normal Superman story, he’s still having fun. But time is ticking. We know either World War Two stories or…

Day 33: Superman kicks a circus strongman's ass!

[supermancomicaday]

Superman’s being quippy, the art is great, and there is some actually good story structure! Jerry Siegel seems to have finally found his strive in making a Superman story fun.…

Day 32: An anvil picks Superman’s teeth!

[supermancomicaday]

Action Comics #26 Professor Cobalt’s Quack Clinic is a mostly entertaining Superman story about him just screwing with con artists taking advantage of desperately sick people. Action Comics #26 is…

Day 31: Superman screws around with 2 con men. He also punches a house in the middle of a hurricane.

[supermancomicaday]

Action Comics #25 is a comic about how a foreigner has unnatural powers… not going to be all that fun to talk about. We aren’t even to the War where…

Day 30: Superman gets hypnotized! Also racism. 

[supermancomicaday]

I can’t wait for Superman issues to be at a normal length. I mean 60-page stories were a great deal, it’s just a lot of comics to read and review…

Day 29: Gambling is back after Superman ended it. This time it’s after kids.
