Superman Origin Comics

[Kal-El]

Hello,

I want to know which comic books from the gold and silver ages (Other than Action 1 and Superman 1, both being GA) show the origin of Superman. So far I’ve only come across two: Superman 53 and Action Comics 158, if you know of any others please let me know.

Thanks, AJ

Ze-man, what issue is that?

[Ze-man]

It's actually part of a National, Golden Records reprint record from 1966. And is among the few early origin recaps as far as I can tell.

 

 

 

And the record fwiw.

Wow, that is an awesome memorabilia.

Super nice.

 

I would have loved to have owned that when I was a kid.

Issues 61, 65, 74 and 77 had Krypton stories. Issue 106 had a retelling of the origin. I think 113 had an origin related story as well.

World's Finest 65 retells Superman's origin.

 

 

[Kal-El]

Wow, that is excellent. Which issue is the one with the cover missing?

[Kal-El]

I saw that one sale! I'll be able to to pick it up next week but right now I'm about $70 bucks short! If I miss out then i'll hopefully try to find one at the Baltimore Con. Thanks for all the feedback so far!

The issue that is missing a cover is my second copy of Superman 53.

And it looks pretty good. I think this scan is from the reprint but it is a fairly complete origin story.

[Marty Mann]

I have the original MORE FUN #101...but it coverless. Will scan the first page of the original

when I get a chance.
