tomo Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I was rebagging some books this weekend and came across this book from "The Kubert Collection" that I'd completely forgot about Aside from some cover wear, this book is in great shape, so I'm not sure how many times a young Andy or Adam thumbed through this issue. I bought this book at Motor City Comic Con sometime in the early 2000's, and really not sure how legit the COA is as I'm sure I could probably print something just as "authentic looking". Either way, I didn't pay anywhere close to FMV for it and it's a neat little oddity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevenrams Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Happy to add this one to my -- probably never to be completed! -- Jimmy run. I always enjoyed Phantom Zone stories. Beautiful copy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frozentundraguy Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Thanks Steve! I actually also had the good fortune to pick up Action Comics #245, which in addition to a great Superman tale, also has Congo Bill and T.

ttfitz Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Nice to see this thread active. (I almost went back and said "...see some ACTION in this thread, but thought better of it) Sent my baby off to college, so I've got some free time. Here's a few new additions to the collection: 2nd Supergirl: Last month I posted first Bizarro with Superboy, how about the first Bizarro with SuperMAN?

tomo Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Nice to see this thread active. (I almost went back and said "...see some ACTION in this thread, but thought better of it) Sent my baby off to college, so I've got some free time. Here's a few new additions to the collection: No matter how long I've been collecting, and more specifically, how long I've been collecting the Superman family of books, I still get surprised with seeing a cover for the first time. That's one of the things that makes it fun collecting the Superman titles...between the sheer volume of books published and the relative scarcity of the golden and early silver age stuff, there's always something new that I haven't been exposed to before! Great cover! Thanks for posting. Edited August 26, 2015 by tomo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, I didn't pay anywhere close to FMV for it and it's a neat little oddity. Pretty sure I sold that book. Its been a long time, but I bought a bunch (maybe a couple of long boxes) of these books from another dealer (maybe Lon at Dark Adventure?). I seem to remember that book. The collection had a bunch of really nice late silver/bronze, but not a ton of books worthy of grading. Seems like some of these books might have ended up on Heritage (not mine, but others from the collection) at some point. I am pretty sure they said "from the private collection of Joe Kubert".

tomo Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 Boy oh boy...1968 was a rough year to be around Superman. If he wasn't killing random strangers at the beginning of the year... ...he was endangering or just plain murdering his closest friends... ...to finally offing Batman as his trek to the dark side is complete!!

Stevenrams Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 This thread certainly could use a bump; no one's posted for over two months. Picked this book up today in Yorba Linda in the OC at Terry's annual show. A real find; it's the nicest copy I've seen in quite some time and it's very hard to find decent copies. Superman 127: First appearance of Titanto cover dated Feb. 1959: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the generous comment; so it wasn't my imagination. This book is truly hard to locate in a presentable grade. And it was cool getting it at a fair price, too.
