Superman Part VIII

DC Comics have just published a new comic - Batman'66. With the possible exception of Sugar and Spike nothing could be further from the current DC universe.

Back in 1966 the US book publisher New American Library jumped on the Batman TV wagon and issued three paperback collections of Batman stories. And, for good measure, one Superman collection. All the collections are in B&W.

The Superman book had five stories, all drawn by Wayne Boring.

Signet D2966 (Canadian edition) - June 1966

The stories have very different reprint histories. The second has never been reprinted except in the Signet paperback. The third is one of the most reprinted Superman stories.
