Quick Summary: This is the cornerstone of the entire superhero genre. Created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, Action Comics #1 introduced Superman, Lois Lane, and the magician Zatara to the world. Originally an anthology series featuring various adventurers like Congo Bill and the Vigilante, it eventually transitioned into a dedicated Superman title. Over 73 years, it served as the primary venue for Superman's evolution through the Golden, Silver, and Bronze Ages, concluding with issue #904 just before the "New 52" reboot.
