American Update: Silver Age Superman
*DC: More adventures of the Man of Steel, as we add in approximately fifty new Silver Age issues! Opening with #98, in VG- at £75, we then have a substantial run from #151 to #230, taking us through the Sixties and into the early Seventies. These are mostly mid-low grades, but feature the Swan/Klein and later Swan/Anderson art teams at their peak, with the cavalcade of oddness that we veteran comics fans love: Luthor, Brainiac, Mr. Mxyzptlk, Bizarro, mermaids, aliens, bottle cities, the Legion of Super-Heroes (and Super-Pets!), ‘Imaginary Tales’, ‘Untold Stories’, the Future Superman, the first Nightwing & Flamebird, and the first all-out race between Superman and the Flash. Prime reading, with a quirky ingenuity and an eternally optimistic atmosphere that’s a blessed relief to all of us who’re tired of the grim & gritty.
