DC Comics: Action Comics (1938), Issues 551-694, Annuals 1-6 (151 total comics)
Action Comics is considered the first true superhero book. Action Comics arrived on the scene in 1938 and remains the longest-running comic book in history (ended in 2011). Though Action Comics began as an anthology, collecting a variety of tales, over the past few decades it has become a monthly title dedicated to its launch character, Superman.
