1975 Giants Part I

The last of the 116 issue 100 Page Super-Spectacular series from DC Comics had an April-May 1975 date. Immediately after this DC published a short series dated April through July 1975 with "Giant" on the cover of only one issue in a few series. Here are a couple. The Giants are 68 pages.

Action Comics 449 reprints three stories - two Green Arrow and Speedy originally published in Adventure Comics 252 (September 1958) and 253 (October 1958)and an Atom from Atom 18 (May 1965). The two Green Arrow stories were reprinted again 25 years later in a small collection of stories illustrated by Jack Kirby. The two stories are connected and were edited when reprinted in Action Comics with the first page of the second story removed.

Tarzan 238 reprints United Feature daily newspaper strips from November 1971 to May 1972. They have been coloured and formatted for the comic page. There are 49 pages of Russ Manning art - all for 50cents.
