*DC: Back in the heady Silver Age days, just about the only way you could get to read the older stories of DC’s premier characters was in the 80 Page Giant Annuals they released for each series once per year. Then, in 1964, buoyed by the success of these annuals, DC turned the 80 Page Giant idea into a regular series of rotating characters, thus enabling us to catch up with a much bigger selection of these early stories than hitherto. After 15 issues, they broadened the concept again to include the Giants in the regular numbering of the series concerned. So this week we present most issues from that 15 issue run known as 80 Page Giant, including #1 (which would have been Superman Annual #9), #5, Batman’s 25th Anniversary special, #9, reprinting ‘Flash Of Two Worlds’, and many others. See our catalogue for full details.
