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:

The Jimmy covers being "wacky" that's part of the ploy to differentiate this book from Superman.

 

How about the "Tiny Superman", intriguing enough to shell out another ten cents for. :juggle:

That makes me wonder, did Jughead ever turn into a werewolf? :devil: And we thought Superman had a lot of books to appear in. I took a quick count of "Archie" titles with at least ten comics in the run, and found 18. There are five Jughead titles with more than 10 issues also. doh!

given how the Archie comics embraced the monster craze more than anyone, I wouldn't doubt a Juggy werewolf cover.

 

We have already seen the Jimmy werewold covers recently.

 

Here are a couple of cool JO covers:

The #304 was the first Action comic I remember buying as a kid.

I love those covers too!

And that one is one of the very sexiest covers from the Silver Age!

Great issues. "Borko of Gorn". :headbang: I wonder if the TV show Star Trek borrowed the Gorn name for one episode. IIRC Kirk has to face an reptilian alien on a neutral planet, and is in grave danger until he gathers up the raw materials for gun powder and makes his own home made gun. Kirk had dropped a large bolder on the Gorn earlier but it barely phased the alien.
