I have had this book for a long time. Purchased it from a local guy whose name I don't remember.

 

But recently I picked up a low grade copy and got the chance to look through it again.

Love the Starman story by Burnley. :banana: Robots vs. superheroes is always good...

and Bernie always did a great job when working with the Spectre.

Wheaties giveaways are usually a beat up good. In many cases they are just poor and some guy named Joe seemed to sign the Hawkman story in the Flash giveaway..

Super awesome! I just love promotional comics...and these are the greatest!Sweet...except that Joe guy scribbling inside.... ^^

Always admire your books,cool.stuff lives in your collection.Is there a story behind these?

Unfortunately, I don't have a story to go with the book. I like the smaller Wheaties giveaways too. I have tried to collect Superman-Tim books but usually get beat when I bid. Most of the Fawcett giveaways are easier to find and the smaller books can be seen in several variations.

 

Firestone giveaways are usually dusted off and displayed for Christmas.

Sweet copy! So hard to get books in this run. Love that cover, and LB Cole interior art too! :D

 

Cover and interior is mostly by Palais. Other stories are by Appel, Albright and Van Buren.

And this one, EXCITING COMICS 45!

 

The Black Terror battles a robot-- and if that's not enough the Robot is carrying BOTH a knife AND a gun! They made a great little statue out of this cover and I was psyched to find it!

Yes, Palais certainly did most of it. Cole gets a credit on the CGC label, and although I just looked at the interior on the Digital Comic Museum and didn't see a direct credit on the page I'd guess that helped out with the BOOMERANG story with Palais. It looks like there's some of his style there. Just a guess by me though.

Although, this certainly seems to be the splash of the whole issue:
