Here He Comes to Save the Day

First Superman Comic Saves Family's Home - ABC News: "A struggling family facing foreclosure has stumbled upon what is considered to be the Holy Grail of comic books in their basement – a fortuitous find that could fetch upwards of a quarter million dollars at auction.

A copy of Action Comics No. 1, the first in which Superman ever appeared, was discovered as they went about the painful task of packing up a home that had been in the family since at least the 1950s. The couple, who live in the South with their children, asked to remain anonymous."

Hat tip to John Hall.

Love it. As usual, Superman was behind the scenes and waited till the right moment to show up.

On the wall of my neighbor Margot Kidder's library is a framed front page of the Daily Globe. The headline reads something like this: Superman Knocks Up Lois Lane.
