Question
Mostly all my comics are superman
Most Superman comics have not been reprinted. If you are looking at a copy of Superman #1 or Action Comics #1, you may have cause to wonder if it is a first print. Otherwise, most likely they are first prints. Generally it would say in the indicia (the fine print at the bottom of the first page, or sometimes at the bottom of the inside front cover) if it is a later printing).

Expertise
I have extensive knowledge on comic books published from 1897 through 1975. My knowledge goes beyond superheroes to include early strip reprints from 1897-1930 or so, science fiction, horror comics of the 50s and 70s, love, crime, satire and other genres. I can provide advice on buying or selling comics as well as answering general queries.
