2014 Canadian $10 Iconic Superman™ Comic Book Covers: Action Comics #1 from 1938 - 1/2 oz Fine Silver Coin
“And so was created… SUPERMAN!” In 1938, the world was first introduced to the now-famous superhero with the debut of Action Comics #1. Arguably the most famous comic book of all time, its iconic cover inspired readers to believe in what seemed to be impossible in those troubled days: a costumed man with unparalleled strength “who had sworn to devote his existence to helping those in need.”
Action Comics #1 was an anthology of stories that introduced several characters, but none proved as enduring as the hero featured in the first story. As “Champion of the Oppressed,” Superman springs into action in a number of situations in this first issue, from stopping a pending execution to interfering with a wife beating. Later, Clark succeeds in getting a date with Lois Lane, but it ends on an unexpected note when a rebuffed hoodlum named Butch abducts Lois. This leads to an impressive show of strength–the scene that is depicted both on the comic book cover and as the coin's stunning reverse image.
A great gift for collectors and Superman fans. Order yours today before they're all gone!

Design
The reverse image, provided by DC Comics, recreates the cover of Action Comics #1, which is arguably the most famous comic book of all time. In the scene, Superman foils the attempted abduction of Lois Lane by stopping the gangsters' green car, hoisting it high above his head and smashing the front of it against a rock. Brilliant colour highlights our superhero's iconic costume, as well as the now-damaged getaway car. Within the image's inner rim, two of the villains cower in fear at this impressive show of strength, while one of the car's tires lies embedded in the rim. Another villain overlaps the outer rim in the foreground, adding dimension to the image.
