Zonker Posted September 30, 2022 Author Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) 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: Adventures of Superman #465 First cameo appearance of astronaut Hank Henshaw, who would go on to become the Cyborg Superman. Adventures of Superman #466 First full appearance of Hank Henshaw, later the Cyborg Superman. Giordano inks. Fantastic Four #1 homage. Adventures of Superman #467 Batman crossover, part of the Dark Knight Over Metropolis arc. Adventures of Superman #469 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. Edited Friday at 05:25 PM by Zonker Sold! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zonker Posted November 25, 2022 Author Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) Superboy & the Legion of Super-Heroes 241 242 243 244 245 This is the complete 5-part Earthwar saga written by Paul Levitz and drawn by several different artists, including James Sherman, Joe Staton, Bob McLeod, Joe Giella and Murphy Anderson. Levitz' later multi-part Legion epic The Great Darkness Saga gets most of the attention, but this earlier serial is a winner as well, featuring many of the Legion's biggest villains, including the Dominators, the Khunds, the Dark Circle, and culminating with Mordru.

Zonker Posted January 23 Author Share Posted January 23 Detective Comics #515 516 518 520 (1982) Don Newton artwork I always liked this year or so of Batman & Detective Comics, edited by Dick Giordano before he was promoted to managing editor of the entire DC line. Giordano got scripter Gerry Conway to produce some of his best work, and this was the period when Gene Colan and Don Newton were alternating on the artwork. They brought back several supporting characters from previous years, including Boss Thorne, Vicki Vale, Jason Bard, "Matches" Malone, and brought for the first time to Gotham City longtime DC characters Doctor Thirteen, the Ghostbreaker, and Christopher Chance, the Human Target.
