Action Comics #2 hit the newsstands with no assurance that Superman would be a major draw in the wake of Action #1. . So uncertain were DC Comics (then National Periodicals) that the second issue in the Action series — prepared before the initial issue hit the stands — didn't even feature the Man of Steel on its cover. As a result, Action #2 is arguably even scarcer than the first, the number of copies on the CGC census are less than half that of the mighty Action #1. This comic, which was once considered a throwaway, worth only pocket change of the era, and intended to pass time for only a moment, has been preserved through the passage of many decades.
