steelcity Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 The Kryptonian background on this cover is almost identical to that of Superman #146. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcity Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 The first official Superboy book of the 1960s has a true sense of grandeur. A majestic cover and short though epic tales within. Best read while listening to Elmer Bernstein's Ten Commandments score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hepcat Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 One of my favorite Superboy covers. fits in so well with other Krypton covers from the era. This is an original owner copy from Alaska acquired by Harley Yee before I was lucky enough to spot it! I love that cover! Superboy books are normally a lower priority for me but I go for any Krypto covers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 next up in the 130's, one of those all 3 incarnations of Superman covers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozentundraguy Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 next up in the 130's, one of those all 3 incarnations of Superman covers: Neat cover. It appears that the feat of strength increases in inverse proportion to the age of Superman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozentundraguy Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 #113 May 1957 This may be Wayne Boring's last Superman cover. I ran a serach for Boring, then for Swan using the advanced search capability of the GCD site. (in Credits: Inker = Boring then Swan), (in Story fields; title = Superman), and also in Story fileds I chose "cover". The advanced search results were not consistent with what I observed when going issue to issue, as I noticed Swan had credit from issue 117, but the search shows issue 118 as the first for Swan with many gaps from the 120's to 190's and beyond. The GCD site does mention that the advanced search has "known bugs and limitations". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aman619 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Boring did the cover of issue 200. I love his work. Su it's a bit over styled, kinda like DCs Ditko. Too often his work looks kinda dated or stiff. Like all his women pointing all the time. But his Supermans flying were heroic and made Swan look bland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozentundraguy Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Here are scans of three more of my Superman books: Hepcat, Killer copies on those three issues. I especially like issue 163, where Wonderman temporarily steals Supermans thunder. I have been chipping away on the 160's fairly recently, but am only about 1/2 way complete. I was able to complete all of the issues in the 150's last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
