Royal Selangor celebrates covers that have become classics in over 80 years of superhero comic book history.
The first in this series is the Limited Edition Superman Action Comics #1, created in collaboration with Warner Bros. Consumer Products, on behalf of DC Entertainment.
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 a superhero 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’s most expensive, with a specimen fetching over US$3 million in 2014.
Illustrator Alan Quah and sculptor Mufizal Mokhtar’s 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 modelled chassis and engine. Limited to only 800 pieces worldwide, this unique sculpture could take pride of place on an office desk or in the living room.
Limited Edition Superman Action Comics #1 is also available in a gilt finish with a black-and-white comic cover, limited to only 200 pieces worldwide.
A limited edition of 3,000 individually numbered pieces worldwide.
With a SOCK! POW! and BIFF!, the Dynamic Duo combats villains in the wonderfully camp Batman TV series of the late 1960s. Possibly the most beloved of the show’s props, certainly the most recognisable, the classic more-is-more Batmobile checks every box when it comes to vintage technology, with its distinctive rear rocket booster, and a ludicrously extensive arsenal of gadgets. Our 1/32 scale version, presented in a stylish satin finish to accentuate every detail, replicates the souped-up vehicle meticulously.
