steelcity Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Origin of Superman...a little pre silver age, but good stuff What a gem to have in your collection! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted February 10, 2012 Share Posted February 10, 2012 Thanks Ian! Those big round bounds are kind of contagious. Once you have one in your hands, you just want them all. Too bad they are pretty scarce books overall. I looked for quite awhile before I bought this now unslabbed 5.0 with no illusion that I will ever be able to upgrade it.

Stevenrams Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) The two books make a great pair. The color scheme is nearly the same on both books. Obviously the black background, but the colors within the panels as well. Great stories as well. Edited February 12, 2012 by Stevenrams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozentundraguy Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 The two books make a great pair. The color scheme is nearly the same on both books. Obviously the black background, but the colors withing the panels as well. Great stories as well. I was thinking Lois Lane # 15 reminded me of Superman 132, before I scrolled down and spotted Superman # 132. Brilliant additions to your collection.

Thanks for the generous comment though I've had the books for awhile. I just got back the Lois Lane 15 from CGC, but I bought it early in the last decade and the Superman 132 I bought slabbed from Comic Heaven probably in1999 or 2000.

steelcity Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Both issues are wonderful books to have in any SA DC superhero collection. I expect receiving your own long standing books back from CGC must feel a bit like acquiring new copies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozentundraguy Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Frankenstein is evidently put off by Bizzaro. Ah but he's just a pretender. Bizzaro was a stroke of genius by D.C. IMHO. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 some more randomness to keep this thread up top. These are a couple of World's Finest that have some great stories: I always liked these type of covers, pre new look Batman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozentundraguy Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 just a awesome story, if you haven't read this one you're missoing out: Beautiful run of World's Finest books. Hard to pick out a real standout as they all are great, but I had not heard of the Composite Superman before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 The composite Superman stories are a MUST for Legion fans! Not silver age, but kinda cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to pick out a real standout as they all are great, but I had not heard of the Composite Superman before. Here Joe Meach returns as composite Superman. Must be one of the most powerful adversaries ever reached. Batman was really way out of his depth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
