ttfitz Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 New additions to the collection, Superboy edition. First few aren't technically Silver Age, but given the #1-4 posted earlier, I thought it would be okay: This one was listed as "First Silver Age issue", don't know how you decide such things... This last one is for Hepcat, 'cause I know how much that cat loves the Krypto covers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenrams Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 Very cool mid 1950s Superboy books, one of my favorite DC titles. Congrats on locating them. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttfitz Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 No Krypto covers this time, just a few new Lois Lane's for the collection: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttfitz Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 A select few of the new auction wins in the Superman family. First, a little Action: Next, my lowest Lois: And my lowest Jimmy: Finally, my second lowest Jimmy, but that's not why I picked it - DC Gorilla!!!

Stevenrams Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 This is my wife's comic but as she claims "My Show and Tell Days ended in the 4th grade." But I give her credit for locating a very nice presenting copy for the grade. It's a keeper for this all--black cover with the white contrast just doesn't show up too often: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been on the lookout for this book, had a line on one a couple of times, but debated with myself about it too long and it got snatched by someone else. Looks like the perfect grade for me.

Stevenrams Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Thanks. It is a bit tough to find. If another copy comes my way, I'll be certain to tell the seller to send you a PM on these boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice copy Steve. I recall checking on late 50's Action Comic books a few months ago, and thought issue 229 stood out as an issue to watch for. In addition to 229, I found issue 228 (Super skyscraper), 241 (Super-Key to the Fortress of Solitude), and 234 (see below) stood out, along of course with issues 242 and 246.

Yes, I like that issue of 234 as well. I have a low-grade copy of that book; I like Superman stories about aliens. It's so 1950s. I always wish I could find a higher-grade copy of the 229 but I love the White Pages on this particular copy. Now issue 241 I've never been able to find. Guess I gotta keep looking.

frozentundraguy Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 This thread had dropped to the 3rd page down. When Steve was out here in early May for the comic con, we also visited a LCS. The store had a copy of Superman 149, and Steve mentioned this book has one of the best stories in all of the Superman books. I have to agree, great story in this book!

Congrats. You don't see that book often. That was the first 10 cent Action I ever owned, bought at 1986 Comic-Con from Windy City comics, still have it too!

Stevenrams Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 (edited) I did get it at Comic-Con, did you go? Nope. I couldn't get a room and I didn't feel like sleeping out on the city streets and that's a beautiful copy of Superman 193. I just love Superman Family Annuals!!
