comicartfan Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Perhaps the most famous Kal-El/Kara cover and the only one of the Superboy run: Oh great !..... ...Another book I MUST have !! Steelcity, you're collection is just SPECTACULAR !!.....I love seeing books I've never seen in high grade, which is so common in DC early Silver Age especially.....

steelcity Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 My favorite Bob and Clark cover! Surely Lar must qualify as a member of the Superman Family? Doomed through his mistrustful "brother" to spend a thousand years in limbo, Mon-El emerges from the Phantom Zone with less of a grudge towards Kal-El than if he'd just missed out on a trip to Pizza Hut!

steelcity Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Here is a fairly unique twist on the "Superman Family" theme - Superboy and a grown up Superwoman. This issue is one of those DC backgrounds that varies from deep blue to a mid purple.The other colors are also affected, probably simply showing inconsistent color saturation throughout the print run. I think the color variations across the same issues of SA books is one of their appealing features! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hardly post a cover in months and then go on a posting binge in one evening... That Bat #156 is a sole DC beacon in your array. Such a classic cover, perhaps there should be a "Batman #156" club!

comicartfan Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Thanks !....Praise from Ceaser himself Actually, I am mostly a DC (especially Batman) guy...I have more key books that I should post....Maybe I will.... And the Batman 156 isn't just a great cover, it's hard to find....It seems like dealers will have the whole run, except that issue. - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelcity Posted March 20, 2011 Share Posted March 20, 2011 Great copy, Danny. As DC covers took on that "late '60s" look at least in some titles a change of cover artist was responsible. However, Sheldon Mayer gave his own covers a subtle change to late '60s look, which is harder to do. Curt Swan did the same, mostly by giving characters some groovy clothes!

Hepcat Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 A GIANT is completely inadequate for the job of cataloguing Lois' schemes to marry Supes. An encyclopedia is what's needed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Always loved this imaginary tale: Wow! A 9.8! DC's from 1966 in 9.8 are almost never seen. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hepcat Posted March 21, 2011 Author Share Posted March 21, 2011 Perhaps the most famous Kal-El/Kara cover and the only one of the Superboy run: Is there a reason why Supergirl switched from a blue to a red skirt in that story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjum12 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) There are 2 types / classes of SA Superman related comics and they are 3-part Wayne Boring novels and the rest of the stuff....although Swan's fine effort in Superman 158 comes CLOSE to qualifying This one is my favorite. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friends of jesus) (thumbs u Edited March 21, 2011 by jimjum12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
