*DC: In Adventure Comics #283, we witness the first reference and use of the Phantom Zone, an other dimensional prison to where Krypton exiled its criminals, who thus survived the destruction of Superboy’s home world. Primarily featured was General Zod, the would-be dictator of Krypton. Both Zod and the Phantom Zone itself went on to be heavily featured in Superman lore from then on. A long back-up story features Congorilla. This is a nice bright, clean pence-stamped copy, with a small colour-breaking crease across the bottom right corner, minor edge wear and a short central spine split, as well as a shorter one at the base of the spine (about 2 cm). Firm staples and nice white to off-white pages.
