The Holy Grail of comic books — an original copy of ACTION COMICS #1, featuring the first ever appearance of Superman and widely considered to be the genesis of the superhero genre— made a rare appearance, along with Man of Steel star Henry Cavill at Comic-Con 2013.
Famed musician Jack White loaned his original, 1938 issue of ACTION COMICS #1 to DC Entertainment for use at the event, stating, "ACTION COMICS #1 is an important piece of history. Instead of keeping my comic locked inside a vault I want to share it with fans during key moments like Superman's 75th anniversary, much like fine art is shared in museums."
The comic was displayed in a special, "speeding bullet-proof" display case made specifically for the event, allowing guests to get an up-close look at what many consider to be the most valuable comic of all time.
