The Superman legend all began with two guys in Cleveland.
It’s all building up the 1,000th issue of ACTION COMICS the book that launched The Man of Steel.
At DC Comics “Meet the Publishers” New York Comic Con, Publishers Dan DiDio and Jim Lee announced there will be an all-star celebration to commemorate the 1000th issue of ACTION COMICS. This DC title is the longest running and first-ever superhero comic to reach the 1000 milestone. The Publishers revealed this new commemorative logo for the celebration.
DC will publish special titles to honor the milestone in March 2018:
New hardcover book:
An 80th anniversary celebration of most important comic in American history: ACTION COMICS #1 and the birth of Superman.
Fans can enjoy classic stories featuring the debuts of Superman, Supergirl, Brainiac, the Fortress of Solitude and more. The title will feature Superman stories by generations of top writers and artists and essays from literary figures who’ve won Pulitzers. Plus a historical essay by guest editor Paul Levitz, and all 1000 ACTION covers collected in a new poster. And – an UNPUBLISHED 1940s Superman tale believed to be by Jerry Siegel and the Joe Shuster studio salvaged from the DC files fifty years ago and hidden away until now.
ACTION COMICS #1000, written by Pete Tomasi and Dan Jurgens, will be published as a special, oversized edition featuring an all-star talent line-up writing back-up stories, including a story co-written by Geoff Johns and SUPERMAN film director, Richard Donner.
In 1938 Joe Shushter and Jerry Siegel created Superman and made history.
