Aman619 Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 I think the production department complained, too much work making and pasting in the reverse photostats ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttfitz Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 But to a hard core collector "keys" are just a nuisance. He wants all the issues to complete his collection and the keys just make it more difficult to achieve his objective since they're more expensive. The revival of this thread made me start looking at the beginning, and I just had to pull this one back up. YES! It is so annoying to look over my wantlist and see a big bump just because some weird green computer first showed up in that issue.

Hepcat Posted November 29, 2013 Author Share Posted November 29, 2013 My latest World's Finest: Has anyone else noticed that Batwoman made regular cover appearances in World's Finest while I don't think Supergirl ever did? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttfitz Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Has anyone else noticed that Batwoman made regular cover appearances in World's Finest while I don't think Supergirl ever did? This is the only Supergirl cover appearance (besides one where she is just a head on a balloon along with others) I could find in my books: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HouseofComics.Com Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Has anyone else noticed that Batwoman made regular cover appearances in World's Finest while I don't think Supergirl ever did? Not really--Batwoman only appeared on three covers, I believe. Not too regular and I think if you consider Batwoman more of a Lois Lane type in the Batman universe (ie, the female interest and more a part of the regular cast) you can see she appears less often than Lois on the covers.

frozentundraguy Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Time for a "re-awakening" of this thread without waiting another full year. This is easily my best Worlds Finest to date. Gnasher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john72tex Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I know it's been posted a few times already, but this is my fave. It is also the third Barbara Gordon appearance. Gnasher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hepcat Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) Curt Swan drew a nice batgirl. I love that book. You bet he did! Has anyone else noticed though that DC did a lot of "women stabbing you in the back" covers during the counter-culture revolution of the late sixties? Here are a couple of Legion covers with the same concept: Edited January 2, 2014 by Hepcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenrams Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 (edited) I enjoy collecting World's Finest Comics. I thought it was a great title. I have many from the early 1950s including a beautiful CGC 5.5 of issue 71 with OW/W PQ that I bought from Gator a few years ago at Comic-Con San Diego. It's one of the major keys of the entire run and it has a great cover. I then bought the DC Millenium reprint for just a couple bucks from a great seller in the sales thread. I don't like the DC Archive Editions of this and many other titles because they don't print the back-up features and they cost way too much.

frozentundraguy Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 This is easily my best Worlds Finest to date. Oh man! DC's dark pink covers always jump right out at you! Thanks Hepcat. The book falls into the category, IMHO, of awesome cover, but not a key. It may even be a bit more available than the issues around it as SteelCity noted a few pages back in this thread. There were about 4 issues listed on E-bay at the time I bought it. Metropolis currently has 6 copies of issue 91 listed, with two each for issue 90 and 92.

I can see how it may have been overlooked back when fresh off the newsstands, as young comic buyers may have had too many Superman titles to choose from, and could not afford to buy them all. Today it is puzzling why there are relatively few collectors of this title,as you have Batman and Superman paired together, along with some terrific covers.

Yep, World's Finest was one of the two books I subscribed direct from DC to back in my youth, for that very reason, two for the price of one. Here's my latest, bought here on the boards. I've always thought it was interesting the difference between the "magical pest" that Superman and Batman had to deal with. #123, which means I only need #124 to complete my run back to #120, Sept 1961: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, you misunderstood, but give how I wrote it I understand why - I was saying I subscribed to World's Finest because I got "two for one", Superman AND Batman, for my subscription dollar (and it might literally have been a dollar, I can't remember). The other book I subscribed to was Superboy, because I was a big Legion fan, and once again, lots of heroes for my money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozentundraguy Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 Some more new to my collection. Today's theme in World's Finest, giant alien creatures. Nice. You must have a pretty long run in this title. Beware of issue 112, as it has a tough ending for Superman's new pet. I can add this book. I purchased it from skypinkblu late last year. This alien appears to a cross between Jabba the Hut and a octopus. Gnasher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, not too bad of a run, with these recent purchases I'm missing 15 issues to having from issue 100 up (although I should point out that 14 of those issues are between 100-119, so a bit of a cheat to look at it like that ) I can add this book. I purchased it from skypinkblu late last year. This alien appears to a cross between Jabba the Hut and a octopus. Nice. They really like those weird space aliens, don't they?

DC really had weird aliens back in the day. I bought this book from skypinkblu recently. (thumbs u I must admit I enjoy these early Silver Age Worlds Finest Books, especially when they feature Batwoman. Seems to me like Batwoman was much too scarce in the Silver Age.
