April 21, 2013: Celebrating 76 Years Since "Action Comics #1"
Friday, April 18 was the 76th anniversary of the debut of Superman with the 1938 release of "Action Comics #1". DoYouRemember.com has published an article examining the story behind the story of Superman's creation and his debut comic book.
- Published on April 18th, 1938, Action Comics #1 heralded the debut of Superman, and since that time the hero's growth in popularity correlates almost perfectly with the comic's rise in value. Selling originally for ten cents, today the comic's valuation, depending on its quality, can reach $2 million. In celebration of the birthday of the Man of Steel, Superman and DoYouRemember fly counterclockwise around the planet, going back to the origin of the comic and tracing its dramatic history of theft and rejection.
