Should it come as any surprise that the first thing Superman is depicted with during his 1938 reveal is a car? Significant correlation between the car pictured and the $1 million dollar price tag this Action Comics No. 1 fetched yesterday? Darn tootin’. Clearly Action Comics needed the lift of a beautiful green sedan with white wall tires and suicide doors to propel what used to cost 10¢ into the stratosphere. 70 years later Superman probably never drove a car in his life. But man could he chuck them around to save some peeps. Job well done, Superman.
