American Update: Action & Adventure from the 1950s
*DC: Part of the attraction of Action Comics and Adventure Comics before they settled down into their regular one back-up feature in the 1960s was, not only did you get a main story starring the cover attractions Superman & Superboy, but you also got a mix of back-up features of the type that the wonderful album compendium feel of these titles had always presented. In Action #236 here from 1958, as well as a striking Superman lead illustrated by Wayne Boring, you also get Congo Bill and Tommy Tomorrow; a nice VG- with a small upper spine split; very slightly mis-cut; colour-breaking crease across bottom right cover corner; bright and attractive. In Adventure #203 from 1954, the back-ups are Aquaman, Johnny Quick and Green Arrow; a decent GD/VG copy with a small upper spine split, slight looseness at staples, minor edge wear. It sure takes longer to read one of these than it does a modern comic!
