American Comics Update: The Bute Collection: World’s Finest #25 1946
*DC: Leading this week’s selections from the Bute Collection is World’s Finest #25, 1946. An amusing Jack Burnley cover typical of the period, featuring Superman, Batman & Robin. In these early days for the title, Superman and Batman appeared in separate stories and had a variety of back-ups, in this case Green Arrow, Zatara, the Boy Commandos and others in its 76 squarebound pages. This well-worn copy is a lower grade example; the spine is split and taped from the top down around 7cm. This split applies also to several of the opening pages. The rest of the spine is okay, as is the cover image, apart from a little grubbiness and a quite faint book store stamp at the centre. Wear around the edges, and page edges are a little tanned. Pages otherwise solid enough. A big package for a relatively small price.
