The defect on this one is obvious. But the rest of the book is so nice in quality and color that it almost makes up for it. And again to just be able to own it, you’ll here no complaints from me.
Hindsight really is 20/20, I believe I was the first to post this book when it went up for auction on Heritage, and was defiantly not in favor of the piece missing. Passed on the book on heritage, regretted it ever since. As luck would have it when I started searching around for an early Action Superman cover, one of our boardies (none other than Rick aka Gator), had a line on this copy from its then anonymous owner who would sell if we figured out a price point. The rest is history. And I’m a happy man for sure.
Humongous thanks to Gator for making this happen, if not for you it would not have!
Gator is the da-man. Wow...Congrats! I haven't visit this thread for a few months.

Agreed!
Just a little trivia. Canada Post sure thought that cover was pretty enough to issue a postage stamp (based on its artwork) sometime back in the 1990's. Joe Shuster was Canadian-born after all !
