*DC: The Superboy story in Adventure Comics #271 (April 1960) features the Boy Of Steel’s first encounter with the young Lex Luthor, and re-tells Luthor’s origin. There’s also a Congorilla story and a rather lovely Aquaman tale illustrated by Ramona Fradon. A reasonable pence stamped copy with excellent cover colour (DC’s deep purple), solid staples and off-white pages. Many small colour-breaking creases to spine and edges with wear and a couple of small tears in those areas, but these barely impinge on cover scene.
