American Update: Amazing World of Superman! Ultra-rare 1973 Tabloid One-Shot!
*DC: In 1973, the town of Metropolis, Illinois, petitioned to be affiliated with the Superman character, becoming the official ‘hometown’ of the Man of Steel for public relations purposes. Among the media tie-ins for this event was the release of this one-off tabloid comic – DC’s first in the format later popularised by their Limited Collectors’ Edition series and its spin-offs – featuring new and reprint Superman and Superboy comics stories, plus multiple features and a stapled-in poster, a Map of Krypton. Of extremely limited distribution even in the US – and almost never seen in the UK – this rarity is a must for Superman completists. This copy is GD at £35. Considerable edge & corner cover wear, but the original poster is still firmly in place. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
