I took a gander at the CGD site for Action comics from the late 50's. I found issues 229, 234, 239, 241, and 242 really stand out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A nice Action 242 in CGC 8.0 or so would probably be a good move. GOD BLESS.. -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjum12 Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Gotta love those Wayne Boring era Superman books. Do you have a preference beween Swan and Boring ? GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 It really depends. I think of Boring as more of a golden age artist overall. Swan though,hands down, he IS the silverage Superman artist. But I wouldn't dismiss Wayne, he had some great, great stuff. That 222 is one. Here is another: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a big Boring fan...especially on his 3-Parters like 141...but I have a great deal of respect for Swan. He was a fantastic cover artist...such a clean style. The early SA stuff is so interesting....and it seems to be dominating the SA Forum lately.

Silver Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 another great Wayne Boring cover, plus a little key of it's own. I think this *may* be the first SA full length story, plus, it's the first time Superman's Kryptonian name is revealed, Kal-El Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtlasFan Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Thats a great cover! Are you sure about this being the first mention of Kal-El? I think this was introduced in the 1940s either in the Lothar Superman novel or in the newspaper strip. Any Jor-El cover is cool in my book!

Silver Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 Jor-El was introduced much earlier, but this is the first Kal-El, there is even a scene in this issue where he says something like "Kal-El, so that was my Kryptonian name" or something like that. Here is a Jor-El cover from 1952: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 Ok, let's move in a slightly different direction. How about some of the whackiest SA covers from the Super family? Let's start with this gem: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
