Dr. Love Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Thought you guys might get a kick out of this. What are the odds of finding the Ozzie copy of this really hard Atlas? porcupine48 and AJD 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gadzukes Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 I love finding stuff like this. Have you guys ever seen these before? Even though the Superboy says it's issue 6, it's actually #1. Issues 1-5 were called Adventures of Superboy and I believe were versions of the 1st superboy Adventure comics. I like the 14 because it's got the 1st version of "Supergirl". I have to admit I didn't know this story existed until I got this comic (might be a good one to get the American version of). porcupine48 and Point Five 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duffman_Comics Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) What's amusing about this cover (#6) is the "promise" of a full colour interior, as indicated by the slightly turned cover. Disappointingly, for the young Australian reader, the interior is black and white. What a gyp. It wasn't until issue #91 that the interiors were reprinted in colour, discontinued with issue #102 Edited August 14, 2018 by Duffman_Comics Let me be perfectly clear, here . . .

AJD Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 So far I've managed to resist starting a collection of Australian Superboy/man/girl or Batman comics... but I can feel my resolve ebbing away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Readcomix Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 I can't remember if I posted this, and I'm too lazy to look back! So enjoy! (And if it's a rerun, I've got one on the way from Melbourne right now that should make up for it! ) AJD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Australian Archies had some nice covers that didn't appear on US editions. Here's another one that I don't think has appeared in this thread. porcupine48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never thought of it that way, but as thumbnail at top of cover shows, blonde Ginger = Susie! Haven't had a minute to read it yet; I just grabbed the book (online) soon as I saw it, thinking its a cool twist on a GGA classic cover. But clearly they did t change her hair arbitrarily; they repurposed Ginger as Susie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the same thing; population of Australia between 1950-1955 looks to be between 8 and 9 million, from a quick online search. Assuming they were available in New Zealand as well, they still could not have needed very large print runs, I would think. I've grabbed the only one I've seen thus far.

Robot Man Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 This came in the mail all the way from New Zeland. I was the only EBay bidder. My first GA book from down under. A little beat but I’m glad to have it. It is #9 which translates to #58 in the US. Would like to find some more but I suspect these are almost as scarce there as they are here. szav, porcupine48 and AJD 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJD Posted September 19, 2018 Author Share Posted September 19, 2018 Nice one R-man. I bought a couple of Aussie books from that NZ seller too, which I'll post when I get back to Oz. These do pop up from time to time, but I find them in acceptable grade about once a year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, as it happens, this week was the time for this year! This issue also has a locally produced story by Paul Wheelahan on top of FH reprints.
