The legality of downloading a PDF of Action Comics #1 depends entirely on the source. If you purchase it from an official distributor like ComiXology or the DC Comics app, or download it from a site explicitly authorized by DC Comics, then it is legal. However, downloading scans or PDFs from unauthorized websites, torrents, or file-sharing platforms generally constitutes copyright infringement, as DC Comics (a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery) still holds the intellectual property rights.
