Myths develop over time. In the case of Superman’s, 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 Shuster 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 world most expensive, with a specimen fetching over US$3 million in 2014.  Illustrator Alan Quah and sculptor Mufizal Mokhtar sensitive 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 its 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DC Comic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52271510749531,"sku":"12671460","price":329.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/0481\/2891\/files\/12671460-1104791669070575.jpg?v=1770729590","url":"https:\/\/iwantoneofthose.mom\/products\/royal-selangor-dc-comics-action-comics-1-limited-edition-superman-pewter-statue-800-pieces-worldw","provider":"IWOOT","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
