That's it folks, thanks for hanging with me and celebrating the Boy of Steel and his thirty year run!

if I ever get an Adventure 247 I may do a Legion of Super-Heroes complete, it's the only issue I need to have every Legion appearance from the 1950's - 1990's! 

I would love to see you do the Legion run as well... even if I have most of those issues myself.  (I'm missing a few minor cameos, I've got every major appearance.)

Thank you for the kind words, there are many amazing collections and collectors on these boards, it the greatest community of comic fans that there is.

Hats off to a great thread!

It was nice being able to tune in every couple of days and find a non-AF15 post to read in Silver Age!

Of all the Superbaby covers, this is the one I like the most. Probably cause I like Tarzan

 

Baby Tarzan is cool and we all know DC always loved gorilla covers

Love this story, she gets another one in a year or so.

 

Flying box spring with a half photo cover now that is pretty original 

[Silver]

Plus it's a Neal Adams, one of his better Superboy covers. You should check out the story, it's a good one for the time.

Cover dated just one month before DC's first Tarzan issue

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.

Cool Neal ape cover. Here begins the Legion backup stories that continue from Action Comics.

 

Another SWEET  DC gorilla cover !!

[Silver]

A year or two after planet of the apes, ape cover remained popular. I'm pretty sure you could do a whole thread on the topic.

#91. This is my second copy of this book, and it's still not as nice a copy as I would have wanted. There were quite a few historical covers and time travel stories, I overall liked them. 

 

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

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.

 

Value pack!

Cool,reprint giant of a couple of great issues from the early 60's. I guess the feeling was that the readers turned over every few years, so these stories wouldn't be recognized by most fans.

 

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