Silver Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Very unusual dark green tones on Adventure Comics #235. Not surprising that this issue rarely turns up above a fine. thats the green I am talking about! I never would have imagined that there were five people in the Smallville press ....

JuliusSeizure Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Yeah, exactly!! They must have had a pad full of ideas to recycle every couple of years. I think you're not far off the mark. Back in the 50s/60s, comics were considered kids' entertainment - what a concept! - and the expectation was that the core audience would 'roll over' every 3 years or so. So there were a number of stories/plots that seemed to occur again and again on about 3-year intervals. I *think* one example is the "Superboy's Big Brother" story in Superboy #89 that introduced Mon-El. IIRC, there was a very, very similar story published a while earlier.

steelcity Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 Classic Detective rainbow cover with an appearance in Superdickery.com. Somebody has to have the Action 89? Always enjoy seeing this cover! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamstrange Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Yeah, exactly!! They must have had a pad full of ideas to recycle every couple of years. I wouldn't say that they recycled the ideas so much as all three of those stories are different. Batman had a rainbow cover or two as well (paging Steelcity). They were just devices to make the covers stand out. When it comes to rainbow covers featuring Batman, this one can't be bettered: Lots of great 10 cent comics showing up in the thread these days! I'm really enjoying them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
