Superman's runaway popularity as part of Action Comics earned him his own comic. This was a real breakthrough for the time, as characters introduced in comic books had never before been so successful as to warrant their own titles.

Additional information regarding Double Action can be found on page A-19 of the market report, which notes that, "four more copies of Double Action turned up and sold for record prices. All of these copies were in excellent condition with white cover and pages. Even a No. 1 was included in the four, the rest being No. 2's." The existence of a Very Good copy has been confirmed by both Robert Overstreet and John K. Snyder III.
