American Update: Superman #144 – ‘The Orphans Of Space!’
*DC: From 1961, this striking item presents a heartrending story as Superman, Supergirl and Krypto once again find themselves homeless – or do they? Needless to say, all is not as it appears in this twist-ending tale, backed up – in those value for money days – with two other stories, ‘The Super-Weapon’, in which Lex Luthor’s villainy rears its head once more, and an Untold Tale, ‘Superboy’s First Public Appearance!’. This lovely item is a FN+ cents copy, no UK stamp or overprint, with outstanding cover colour and gloss, vivid and unbroken save for one tiny diagonal crease at lower right. Truly an outstanding example of a vintage item, before the very first comics price rise – ‘Still 10c’, as it proudly cover-proclaims. Today, it’ll cost you a bit more than 10 cents; this FN+ beauty is on sale for £110. SORRY, THIS HAS NOW SOLD
