What's Action Comics #42 worth in 2024?
A mint condition 10.0 copy of Action Comics #42 could prove to be quite valuable if ever brought to auction: the highest-rated copy certified by the CGC to date is only an 9.0 VF/NM. That edition was sold privately for an unknown sum - the next highest rated copy sold for $2,747 in March 2008 as one of only two ever rated 8.5 VF+. While this edition is hard to find in a complete, unretouched format, you can probably acquire one for around $500 in the CGC 3.0 - 5.0 range.
Why is this comic book valuable?
Published in November 1941 by D.C. Comics, Action Comics #42 is notable for the first appearance of Vigilante. The story of the Black Pirate comes to an end, we are introduced to Fat Man, and Lex Luthor makes an appearance. Look for the $.10 cover price and dual Superman logos on the front to verify you have an original!
