ROYAL SELANGOR DC - LIMITED EDITION SUPERMAN ACTION COMICS #1
A limited edition of 800 individually numbered pieces worldwide.
Myths develop over time. In the case of Supermans, it emerges fully-formed in 1938, depicted on the cover of Action Comics #1. Hoodlums flee a powerfully-built figure garbed in a close-fitting suit with a sweeping cape as he smashes the car he holds effortlessly aloft; the embodiment of Jerry Siegel and Joe Shusters Superman in a single iconic image.
In 2010, the comic book becomes the first to sell at auction for US$1 million. Copies from its original print run continue to rank amongst the worlds most expensive, with a specimen fetching over US$3.25 million in 2021.
Illustrator Alan Quah and sculptor Mufizal Mokhtars homage brings the cover to spectacular three-dimensional life. Cast in pewter, a recognisably retro Superman defies gravity, cape unfurled. He carries the remains of the unfortunate vehicle, in bonded porcelain. Removing it's crumpled bodywork reveals a meticulously modeled chassis and engine.
Malaysians Quah and Mufizal, both highly respected by the international comics and collectibles communities, collaborated on this limited edition.
About the collection: A collaboration with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, on behalf of DC Entertainment, this item comes in Official DC Licensee packaging.
Size: H 28.5cm including base x W 20cm x L 19cm
