*DC: Well, in my school playground, the burning question was ‘who was stronger, the Hulk or the Thing?’, but, being a little more cerebral, the question of ‘who was the Fastest Man Alive, Superman or the Flash?’ was somewhat more to my taste. Jim Shooter and Curt Swan attempted to answer that in Superman #199 beneath a fabulous Carmine Infantino/Murphy Anderson cover. What was the outcome? Well, no spoliers here – suffice it to say this story spawned several sequels, the first being in Flash #175. Alongside this serviceable copy of Superman #199 we’re throwing in a copy of Flash #175 absolutely free (quite frankly, it’s a pretty water-stained and damaged copy which isn’t really good enough to sell, but is complete). Superman #199, pence printed, has spine and edge wear and handling wear with some colour-breaking creases (long one across top right cover). Centrefold loose at bottom staple and small label removal scuff over Comics Code box. Some stain marking to edges and rear cover.
