Ian, You may want to know that there are a few Superman-Tim's not listed in Overstreet. I had 2 of them. I also saw a third one that the owner said was not listed at San Diego last year.

I didn't get the list from Overstreet, I got it from Jerome Wenker, who's been collecting DCs all his life. He even sold me a Superman Tim that wasn't listed in Overstreet

Can you please explain what a "Tim" is? Thanks!

Thankyou. I already knew about this one

I do.

I have every single All American Men Of War there ever was.

It's All American 50, 89, and 91 I need. Completely different comic.

[Ian_Levine]

The Tim Stores had their own monthly magazine, which between 1942 and 1950 has an exclusive deal with Dc to feature Superman in every issue of their monthly giveaway.

There was also a Tim Club. Maybe the comics came with membership.

I may be wrong but memory tells me they had something to do with shoes.

[Timely]

Ian, Did you know that Superman-Tim was not the only "Tim" books from DC? The Superman issues get 99% of the attention, but it's the other ones that are rarely seen!

What other ones ?

I was told that all the other Tim mags had nothing to do with DC whatsoever.

Please elaborate..........

[Timely]

Well you are correct in a way. None of the Tim issues are really from DC, but you do collect other series where a DC comic turns into another series and vice-versa.

 

Here is how the series begins.

 

Superman-Tim becomes Tim

Tim becomes Gene Autry Tim

Gene Autry Tim becomes Tim in Space

Tim in Space becomes Tim Tomorrow

 

Thought you might want to know.

I did know about these. There were even some Tims pre-Superman going right back to the 1920s, but only the 94 Superman Tims are DCs, from 1942 to 1950.

Thanks for the information though. I could easily not have known. Keep 'em coming.

Are you aware of all the versions of the landmine book? DC printed 560,000 in Spanish and 90,000 in English. The Bosnia landmine book (as opposed to the Central America one) was in Cyrillic and English.

 

Has the 3rd one come out? The one for Angola in Portugese?

 

For the landmine books, you may want to contact the embassies of Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica, as that was where they were distributed.

 

Just found this! It is pretty old, but you never know!

 

For interviews or sample copies of the comic book, please contact: Jay Strell USUN 212/415-4050, Martha Thomases, DC Comics, 212/636-5450; Marsha Zeesman, UNICEF, 212/326-7136; and Lt. Col. William Darley, Department of Defense Public Affairs, 703/697-1848.

I do not have any copy of the Central America one at all, or even know anyone who has a copy.

The Bosnia one I picked up is in the foreign language. I was told (maybe incorrectly) that there never was a copy in English. Can you confirm ?

 

There never was a third one, so I'm told.

The U.S. Government and the United Nations joined with DC Comics, a division of Time Warner Entertainment Co.,in 1996 to produce a special Superman comic book entitled Superman - Deadly Legacy. The idea for the mine awareness comic book was sparked by a comment by First Lady Hillary Clinton during her visit to Bosnia. She reviewed a mine awareness coloring book for young children, and asked what was being done for the older children. It was created to aid landmine awareness among children in the Former Yugoslavia and was printed in both the Cyrillic alphabet used by Serbs and the Roman alphabet used by Croats and Muslims. Half a million Superman books were shipped to Bosnia and Kosovo. Superman was chosen to spread the message because "he is a citizen of the world". Text on the back is, "Superman has come to help the children of Bosnia-Herzegovina! But even when he can’t be here, you can keep yourself safe from landmines." In regard to the comic book for Bosnia, UNICEF and the Mine Action Center lent their endorsement to the project. They said that there are 130,000 copies of the comic in Latin and Cyrillic, and 35,000 in English. There are also 35,000 copies of the poster in each of the alphabets. The priority for distribution is to children in hospitals, orphanages, refugee camps, and schools.

 

The Kosovo version of the comic book was released in the school system through UNICEF and through non-governmental organizations (NGOs) operating in the area. Originally, the Kosovo version of the comic book was designed for children in the refugee camps. The comic book was designed to teach children to stay away from landmines and unexploded ordinance (UXO), to recognize areas where mines may be located, and to take certain actions if they find a mine. The comic book also encourages children to share their understanding of the landmine threat with friends and family members and teaches them that deminers working in their country are protecting them from dangerous landmines. The Bosnia-Kosovo version of the comic book depicts Superman protecting two young children from mines, while the dog of one child is severely injured. They meet a boy who has lost his legs, and later save a girl who has wandered into deep grass. It is a wonderful joining of the military and commercial sector to save lives.

 

A second comic book in Spanish was released for children in Latin America on 11 June 1998. It is entitled Superman and Wonder Woman - the Hidden Killer. The Central American book is 32 pages long, compared to 10 pages for the Bosnia version. The second book includes 24 pages of story and eight pages of activities targeting children between 8 and 15. Text on the back is "Superman and Wonder Woman have come to help the children of Central America! But even when they cannot be here, you can keep yourself safe from landmines. This book tells of the story of brothers Miguel, Diego, and sister Gabriella. One brother suddenly finds himself in a minefield. He is rescued by the super-heroes, shown some mine-warning signs, and then introduced to a military deminer. Later, Gabriella washing clothes in a stream also comes upon a mine. She is saved by Wonder Woman. The children are shown signs and posters depicting different mines and meet a child who has been injured. They then kick their soccer ball into an area that sets off another mine. The book contains a number of mine warning stickers, and features a two-page scene depicting a countryside with various signs and clues of hidden mine fields. The reader is urged to place the stickers on those sites. It closes with a 10-point quiz and the warning: "Spread the word: Mines Kill!" The comic books are distributed through U.S. embassies, and presented to the Ministries of Education in Honduras, Nicaragua and Costa Rica. A U.S. Southern Command Mine Awareness Team assists the host ministries of education in the distribution. The initial printing was Six hundred fifty thousand copies of the book, 560,000 in Spanish and 90,000 in English. Mine-awareness posters based on the comic book, 170,000 in Spanish and 30,000 in English, are distributed in Latin America. Similar posters were used in Bosnia campaign.

 

A third version of the comic book will be published in Portuguese for the children of Angola, which the United Nations estimates has 15 million land mines. The release date for the third comic book is unknown. "I can think of nothing more rewarding than to know that Superman and Wonder Woman have leapt beyond the pages of the comics to save real lives," said Jeanette Kahn, President of DC Comics. DC Comics donated the use of the Superman and Wonder Woman characters and worked closely with the Department of Defense and UNICEF to make sure that the stories and artwork would be specific to the host countries.

I'm fairly sure the Portugese one never came out.

So what I really wana find out is exactly how many different version of the Croatia one and the Latin America one that there actually were......

What all these long winded old press releases don't seem to agree upon is exactly how many different versions there were.... cryllic, roman, croatian, English, Spanish etc etc

Can anyone tell me in one easy to read sentence ?

[FlyingDonut]

Bosnia: Cyrillic and English

Central America: Spanish and English

Angola (if made): Portugese and English

[Ian_Levine]

Rube 11 just sent me a link to a site called Bunky Brothers. I scoured it but the only thing I found was a Leading 20 which turned out not to be a DC.

 

Was there a different Leading comic made by someone called B&L or something like that, or was it a misprint

 

Anyone know ?
