Yeah, I know about the Supergear, but it does say DC on the cover and it's Curt Swan, so in my eyes it counted... A list, huh... Well, my criteria for the obscurities was that they need to contain comics, not just illustrations. So the Gilbert Hall of Sciene for example, or most of the Tim Superman don't count. The second condition was that it needs to be an original publication, not a reprint. So the three 1955 Kelloggs count, but the scarcer 1954 I would not necessarily need, since it contains stories from Superman 55. I still got most of these in the end, but they're outside my "canon". Also, Super-Heroes only. A borderline issue is slight changes to the content - since those could be considered first publication. Like the Navy Specials or the Superman Workbook with changes to the text. I included these late, and so I'm still missing Special Edition 5 - counting on Ian's help there;-) And I drew the line at very late Bronze age, so I religiously only collect them till about 1984. Odd books/comics I do have, on top of my head: The 1942 Py-co pay, the 1940 Christmas Adventure (also the later version with the revised cover - it's an absolute travesty that CGC doesn't seem to be able to differentiate those 2 anymore, by the way, especially as the 1940 is way scarcer), the 1944 Christmas adventure, Superman workbook, Special Edition 1-4 and 6, Superman Tim 10/46 to 12/47 and 12/48 (also contains a 1 page strip), Superman Buddy 1954 (with the box and everything) and 1958 (just the book), the Kellogs 1954 and the 3 from 1955, the Cleveland fire, Gilbert Hall, the Superman and Batman Record from 1966 (both with boxes and all), the 6 Batman 1966 MInis and the Batman Prell, the Aurora Specials, the Topps Krazy Little Comics, Magazineland, The 1977 Nutra-Child Health Tips (but not the Super-Heroes Guide to Health, which I hope/believe contains illus only - those are damn scarce, by the way), the 78 Super Dictionnary, the 1978 Skyrocket (or something) Neal Adams ad folder, the Power Record Books, Aquateers (with the glasses and the packaging), the 79 Super Heroes Mini, the 1980 Special Olympics book, the 82 read& hear, the Kenner Super Powers, the 1978 Superman Album promo (just illus though), the 1980 Batman Belt safety... that's probably about it, apart from Supergear and the Bradman, which is later, but just to cool to ignore. The Marvel books are a lot less challenging, so I won't list these;-). If somebody wants pictures I can oblige but it can take a bit of time, since my books are stored outside my home.

Sure.

Ok, thank you very much. That's at least an indication. Copyright inside just says Binney & Smith Inc. , and I was wondering whether this could be a case of somebody early on mistakenly listing it as a DC publication, and every subsequent reference just copying it from there.

Hi everyone I got (and just received) the Supergear, the Bradman and the 2 Silly Putty Man from this auction, so I'm quite happy. That pretty much concludes my Gold, Silver and Bronze DC Promos with Superhero appearances. Does anyone of you knowledgable people know why Silly Putty is considered a DC comic? There's absolutely no reference to DC (or National) in the comics themselves. Cheers, Thomas
