EVOLUTION OF A COMIC...


First there's the 'ashcan' edition, just to
secure the copyright...

Cover of the ashcan edition of Action Comics

Then the real cover of the actual first issue is
drawn, before a copy is sent for colouring...

The original cover artwork for Action
Comics #1 by Joe Shuster

Then the actual issue is published...

The published result - for only 10 cents

Then it goes on sale...

Where's the Tardis when you need it?  (Action Comics #1

Result?  History in the making.
