*DC: One of the most enduring of Superman’s villains – although mostly, despite his vast power, played for comedy – Bizarro and his wacky chums have entertained generations of readers. But his genesis in 1958 was very different in tone. Created during an experiment, the imperfect double of Superboy, despite his good intentions, was shunned and feared by the people because of his grotesque appearance, his only friend a blind girl who somehow perceived his kindly soul. Strongly, and doubtless intentionally, reminiscent of the classic Frankenstein movies which were hitting big on TV at the time, this tragic story proved such a hit with the readers that Bizarro was re-introduced as a player in the adult Superman Universe. This copy of Superboy #68 is a highly attractive VG, minor spine wear and a tiny piece of tape on the lower right inside cover, but unmarred cover image, vivid colour and sound interiors. A very desirable copy of a key debut; VG at £350. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
