How the Comic Was Found
The family discovered the comic tucked inside a box while going through items left behind in their mother’s attic. The book had been “untouched for decades,” with the attic’s stable conditions helping preserve it in remarkable shape, according to BBC.
The issue was graded a 9.0 by the Certified Guaranty Company. Only two known copies of Superman No. 1 have ever achieved that grade, according to BBC. That level of preservation is extremely rare, especially for a book printed in the 1930s. A comics historian told BBC that early Superman issues played a key role in shaping the character into a defining icon of American pop culture.
