1943 Superman #21 CGC VF/NM 9.0

A wartime Superman issue in Very Fine/Near Mint 9.0, a high grade for a comic printed during the Second World War.

Superman #21 is dated March–April 1943. The issue contains four Superman stories, all written by co-creator Jerry Siegel. Each story is signed by Joe Shuster, but most were drawn by artists from his studio, Ed Dobrotka, Leo Nowak, John Sikela, George Roussos and Sam Citron, with Shuster himself pencilling one. The cover is by Jack Burnley.

Wartime paper shortages meant that comics of this period were often printed on lower-quality paper, and comics in high grade are more difficult to find.

Four examples have achieved Very Fine/Near Mint 9.0 at CGC, with one graded higher, placing this copy among the five finest graded.
