*DC: Nine months before the debut of Supergirl in Action Comics #252, an earlier Supergirl appeared in Superman #123 in 1958. Now, despite a strong resemblance to Kara Zor-El, this wasn’t her, although we don’t want to spoil the enjoyment of the story by revealing her true nature. Suffice it to say that this must have been a try-out for the real thing! Story by Orto Binder, cover by Curt Swan and art by Dick Sprang; unusual as far as I’m aware to see the Sprangster draw an entire issue of Superman, and he seems to have adjusted his famous Batman style to resemble more the classic Superman artists of the period. A three-part story both charming, poignant and thrilling. This Midas Collection copy is a lower graded copy with a good, strong cover image. There are spine splits from the top down to just above the upper staple and from the bottom up likewise to the bottom staple. However, both staples themselves are firmly attached at spine and centrefold. There is a tiny chip out bottom right cover and fairly minor edge wear apart from the spine as noted. Pages are off-white and supple.
