Background on Superman, the grade and what drives the price.
Key issues
The Superman comic books collectors want most are Action Comics #1 (1938), his first appearance, and the early issues of his own title, Superman #1 and #2. On any of them, the CGC or CBCS grade is the biggest single factor in price.

Characters
Superman first appeared in Action Comics #1, cover-dated June 1938 and on sale in April 1938, created by writer Jerry Siegel and artist Joe Shuster and published by Detective Comics, Inc., the company that became DC Comics. It is the first superhero comic and the most valuable comic book in the world: a CGC 8.5 copy sold for 6 million dollars in April 2024.

Key issues
Superman #2, cover-dated Fall 1939, is the second issue of the first comic devoted to a single superhero, with Joe Shuster's cover of Superman lifting a car. Like Superman #1 it reprinted and expanded early Action Comics stories alongside new material. It is a Golden Age key in its own right — far more affordable than #1, but scarce in any grade and one of the earliest Superman solo issues a collector can realistically own.
