*IW/Super: We continue with our series of updates from that most esoteric publisher IW/Super. IW Publications was a short-lived comic book publisher in the late 1950s and early 1960s, named for the company’s owner Israel Waldman. Comics were published under both the IW and Super imprints and were notable for publishing unauthorised Golden Age reprints of other company’s properties. Usually these companies were out of business, but not always. Basically, it seemed to be whatever they could get their hands on that determined the esoteric nature of their output. Thus you get super-heroes, war, romance, western, funny animals, crime, horror, science fiction and just about every genre within their pages. Full details of what was reprinted in what are listed in our website catalogue. NB usually with newly-drawn covers. Over the next few months, we’ll be presenting a series of issues from this publisher; this week, all three IWs featuring reprints of the famous Fox Phantom Lady series, with sumptuous good girl art by Matt Baker.  Please note the IW numbering system was a law unto itself! Prospective collectors should also note that IW did not reprint the original splash page for these issues, which Fox printed on the inside front covers; so therefore the first story starts at page 2. This is not a fault, but as they were published. There are many modern reprints of this celebrated series, but these represent an opportunity to get true vintage versions at a fraction of the price of the originals.
