Gorillas Part I

The period 1960-1977 was the golden age of DC reprints. Hundreds of comics reprinted earlier DC stories. In the late 1980s DC began reprinting stories in their Archive Editions and other collected editions. These collections are much welcomed but they lack the charm and surprise of the earlier reprints. They are also much more expensive.

Here's an example dated Winter 1976. Super-Heroes Battle Super-Gorillas 1 was the only issue published. There are three stories, two of which were reprinted in the Giant Annual reprint series in the early 1960s:

"The Super-Gorilla From Krypton" from Action Comics 238 (March 1958). First reprinted in Superman Annual 7. The original cover is reprinted on the back cover of the Annual. The gorilla is not in costume in the story.

"Grodd Puts the Squeeze on Flash!" from Flash 179 (August 1967)

"The Gorilla Boss of Gotham City!" from Batman 75 (February-March 1953). First reprinted in Batman Annual 3 Super-Heroes Battle Super-Gorillas 1 - Winter 1976 Superman Annual 7 - Summer 1963 Superman Annual 7 back Batman Annual 3 - Summer 1962
