Silver Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I have always liked that cover, and the stories are classic too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 more firsts: First Lex Luthor in Superboy (I think), first time his first name is used (Lex) and his first origin. Notice Superboy himself referring to him as "young" Luthor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBedrock Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I have always liked that cover, and the stories are classic too! I like the cover too...a lot. DC purples are unique. And as a background to the exploding planet the purple is nearly perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine isn't narly as nice as yours, but it's better than most of mine from that period, so why not post it, I thinks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcity Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Not a first appearance of any kind but this giant has a glorious tone of blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcity Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Not a first - more of a last as this giant issue preceded the first "new look" issue of Superman #233 and the emerging Bronze Age of DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcity Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Special 30th anniversary issue, this book often shows with a dark transfer stain on the yellow part of the front cover. On this particular copy we see an arrival date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcity Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I expect many of us first read that classic tale here rather than in Superboy #89: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcity Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Several months before their first Adventure Comics meeting Kal and Kara had a family get-together in the pages of Superboy #80. This cover is one of my favorites and for many years was hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
