Superman Ashcan #nn (DC, 1939) This ashcan features the cover art from Action Comics #7 (which was rendered by Joe Siegel and Jerry Shuster) and a partial interior from Action Comics #8. This is the first time that Superman Comics appeared on a published cover anywhere in history. There are only two known copies. The cover stock used is velox paper, which is the same material used to shoot the completed artwork of a regular comic book. Velox paper is noted for its ability to create crisp and clear lines from the artwork. Consequently, the detail on ashcans is unsurpassed. This copy has staples that are about an inch off center that go clean through to the other side of the comic. The cover is hand trimmed.
