The Adventures Of Superman Comic Book 434 Appraisal

The Adventures of Superman Comic Book #434

The item is identified as a copy of "The Adventures of Superman" comic book. The cover features a dynamic illustration of Superman flying downwards, seemingly towards a planet or celestial body. The foreground shows an asteroid field or debris in space. Superman is depicted in his classic blue suit with red boots and cape, and the iconic 'S' shield on his chest. The artwork is detailed with visible line work, suggesting it is a hand-drawn illustration. The comic book has a paper cover and is likely bound with staples, although the spine is not clearly visible. Text at the top reads "DC" logo, "THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN", and smaller text below indicates the creators "BY WOLFMAN ORDWAY BEATTY". A price of "$ .75" and "95¢ Canada" is visible in the top left corner, along with the issue number "434" within a diamond shape. This indicates a potential publication date based on pricing and numbering conventions of the era. The cover appears to be protected by a clear plastic sleeve, which is typical for comic book collecting to preserve condition. Visible condition issues include a vertical crease or fold running through the center of Superman's image, likely from handling or storage before being bagged. There may be some minor wear on the corners and edges, but the plastic sleeve makes this difficult to fully assess. The colors on the cover appear vibrant, suggesting the printing quality of the period. The overall presentation suggests a standard comic book format from the late 20th century.
