*DC: Amazingly, given their lengthy careers, 1967’s Superman #199 was the first time Superman and the Flash had ever raced competitively, and writer Jim Shooter and artist Curt Swan drew every ounce of drama out of the situation, throwing tricks, traps and dilemmas as the Man of Steel and the Crimson Comet battle their way to the finish line, with the ostensibly benign agenda, needless to say, being subverted for fiendish purposes. An historic issue, and great fun into the bargain! This is a worn, pence stamped copy. The staples are fine at spine but the centrefold is detached. Lots of wear and creasing at corners and edges, which show significantly on black and dark background. There is a long 13 cm colour-breaking crease across the top right hand corner. Pages are a bit creamy, but okay.
