HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUPERMAN, 75 TODAY
Action Comics, published on April 18, 1938 (cover-dated June),
by National Allied Publications, a corporate predecessor of DC
Comics, is considered to be the first true superhero comic; and
though today Action Comics is a monthly devoted to Superman,
it began, like many early comics, as an anthology.
As of 2011, this is the only comic to have sold for more than $2
million for a single original copy. It is considered to be the most
valuable comic book of all time.

and is perhaps best known for her dual role as twins Susan and Sharon in
the Disney production The Parent Trap (1961). Hayley is the daughter of
