*DC: Three consecutive issues of the Man of Steel from the Midas Collection this week in mixed grades. 
PICTURED: SUPERMAN
#55 FA £60 Three intriguing Superman stories, including one featuring the Prankster. Cover detached. Tatty spine with small chunk out top rear. Ragged right edge with long tear half across central cover. Centrefold loose; rusty staples with little rust migration.  
#56 PR £30 Superman meets Smarty Pants, the infant prodigy who causes him all sorts of problems. Plus a Prankster story and another. Cover detached with many holes in spine and chunks out. Ragged right and bottom edges. Two pieces of tape sealing small tears over Superman’s figure. Pages and staples okay. 
#57 GD £275 Great cover with Lois in Superwoman costume, illustrating the inside story featuring a future descendant of Lois who has super powers. All three stories feature Wayne Boring art. Some spine roll and 3 cm tear at centre right edge, which extends to lessening degree over early pages. Nice cover image with a couple of shallow vertical creases that don’t break colour and a small area of discolouration above the logo (see scan). Nice pages and staples. Ad for Superboy #1.
