Superboy is well drawn here and looks so proud???

You're right, that is a cool book. I personally really liked the reprint issues, they were usually good stories with a few nice bonus features thrown in.

Civil war themed issues are nice, I think the sesquicentennial of 1961-1965 brought out quite a few covers

This is actually my second copy of this issue, my first was a real beater. I generally liked the time travel stories, although now they are pretty corny!

Those cover similarities can't be a coincidence, that's pretty cool. Tarzan coming over to DC was a pretty big deal at the time.

Hi Silver,

 

If you don't mind me asking what grade is your Tarzan 225 in?  You said you had a number of high grades copies. Whats weird is that there are huge chunks missing from the DC Tarzan line in high grade. Recently a couple came on the market...they  max out at 9.6's at best. Its super rare to find any 9.8's.

My whole set is an unread pedigree quality set bought from the OO (known as the Monterey collection). I bought them 25 years ago and immediately put them in Mylar. 

Don't know what CGC would grade it, but you can tell it's nice

Me too , i always liked reprints because that was the only way to read back issues back in the day if you didn't have the originals

Like this cover, seems like a 10 cent cover?

more Neal Adams, there is actually a character named Bash Bashford in this story...

 

Never realized how good some of these 15 cent Superboy covers are

Last 12 center, I have two copies of this one

Got the bagged set from Terry Stroud at a SDCC in the early 90's. I actually saw it and passed it up. I regretted it and a year later I saw Terry and asked him about it. He said he still had it. Anyone who has seen his booths at SDCC wouldn't be surprised, they are disorganized disasters. I paid him $50 for it. It is the only one like it I have ever seen. Too bad there are no keys. All are final 12 issues, Unexpected, Superboy, Our Army at War, Challangers, Atom and the Hawkman.

 

Jealous of the super-Pac?‍♂️?

...I've been an Adams nut since the early 70's...... and always felt that his Superboy output was very inspired..... many of his best efforts IMHO are in that title. GOD BLESS...

Thanks! I probably would have sold it a long time ago, but I have never seen another one.

I'm noticing interest in Superboy in our area and have watched several boardies quietly snagging them on the boards.... they're cool books with stories that are often fairly clever..... and don't break the bank, outside of a handful of keys. GOD BLESS...

Two sales of note recently, a number 1 in 8.0 for 9K (a record for that grade), and $3,300 for an 8.0 number 8. 

I think its cool to see some love for these early issues.

Superboy is a GREAT set to collect

Your fault, Danny.  Saw this thread, had to have this book.  HAD TO.

I'm a huge Swan fan.  Superboy looks so sweet - and that blush in his cheeks!  Superpower helps overcome the pain of being a teen with a receding hairline.

That’s a great book Andy! It was reprinted in a 100 pager. If your a Swan fan, there’s a lot of great Superboy covers!
