You might be right, but the paper is not thicker cardstock paper.

I’m interested in opinions about whether this is a genuine front cover of a Superman 1. I bought it several years ago for about $100 with no guarantee that it was genuine. It measures 10 inches by 7 inches (25.2 centimetres by 17.6 centimetres). The left edge is jagged, like it has been removed from a bound volume. There is some writing under the logo that includes a date (11/12/53). The worst thing about it is that it is completely enclosed in a laminated clear plastic. If it was genuine, would CGC slab it? Thanks.

You may remember I posted my early 1960s issues that had stamps. I will post any later ones I have. It may take a while.

I have complete runs of all the 1960s and 1970s DC romance comics. Quite a lot of them have UK stamps, surprisingly. But I still consider them to be ND, and the ones with stamps to be ‘random’. I began collecting them in the UK, only finding an occasional issue, but later I bought many more at US conventions and from US dealers.

Sadly, my copy of Flippity and Flop 47 doesn’t have a stamp. I doubt a stamped copy will turn up, as 47 is late 1960, over a year after 46, and after the humour titles stopped being distributed in the UK. Still, stranger things have happened.

In the UK, issues 2 and 4 were very difficult to find. I think they are listed as ND in Alan Austin’s price guide, which was my note. The other issues weren’t so scarce. Issue 1 was the commonest by far.

House of Secrets 95 has a Nick Cardy cover.

Thanks.

All-Star Squadron 15 is meant to have a 16-page Masters of the Universe insert. But my copy doesn’t have the insert. I bought my copy of All-Star Squadron 15 new, when it was published. I know for certain that I would not have removed the insert. Also, the staples look tight to me. Can anyone think of any explanation? My other issues of that period (such as DC Comics Presents 26) all have their inserts.

I have always thought of those two as DC publications. Mike’s Amazing Comics thinks so too.

Great stuff! (The Superman 132.)
