Now SOLD! Adventures of Superman 1990-1991 Lot

This 5-issue lot is written & penciled by Dan Jurgens and inked by Art Thibert (except for #466, which was inked by MR. Giordano).  I thought Jurgens & Thibert were a great team:  Jurgens' crisp, clean storytelling combined with Thibert's finely detailed inking (in the arguably somewhat fussy 1990s style of Jim Lee and Todd McFarlane).  The comics average Very Fine Minus condition.

Included:

  1. Adventures of Superman #465 First cameo appearance of astronaut Hank Henshaw, who would go on to become the Cyborg Superman.  
  2. Adventures of Superman #466 First full appearance of Hank Henshaw, later the Cyborg Superman.  Giordano inks. Fantastic Four #1 homage.
  3. Adventures of Superman #467 Batman crossover, part of the Dark Knight Over Metropolis arc. 
  4. Adventures of Superman #469 
  5. Adventures of Superman #474 Flashback to Clark's teen-age years in Smallville.  Superman appears in costume only on the splash page and the very final panel of this story.
