The issue is described as honouring Superman's storied career and turning toward his thrilling future. Source: DC Comics official July 2026 solicitations, League of Comic Geeks issue page.
Why the number matters
Action Comics #1 was published in April 1938. Superman's debut in that issue launched the superhero genre. No other ongoing superhero comic in history has published 1,100 consecutive-or-near-consecutive issues — Detective Comics hit its own #1100 last year, making Action Comics the second DC title to reach the milestone in recent memory. For perspective: issue #100 was published in 1946. Issue #500 was published in 1979. Issue #1000 was published in 2018 and became one of the best-selling individual comic issues in recent years.

The collector angle
Action Comics #1000 (2018) launched at $7.99 cover price with multiple variants and has maintained strong secondary market values across most covers, with the Jim Lee 1:100 variant among the most sought-after books of the decade. Action Comics #1100 follows the same structure: oversize issue, all-star creative team, multiple variants including an incentive foil. Anniversary issues of this scope at DC have a consistent track record of secondary market strength in the year following publication. The Jim Cheung foil variant (Cover F) is the one to watch.
