MORE GREAT ISSUES featuring the Last Son of Krypton has arrived recently here at COMIC WORLD!! In addition to the plethora of Silver Age and Bronze Age treasures, among other Superman-related titles and Modern Age Gems, we've just added the following to our inventory with lots more anticipated in the near future!!
STOP BY and check out these comics and other HOT COMIC BOOK TITLES as they arrive each week!!
I've listed each title with not only grade and price, but included a description of the contents. Only one issue in the lot was missing story pages -- issue #239, a 64-page Giant, but it too features two massive, CLASSIC Silver Age stories complete and intact!! Only one story is affected!! It's priced low, and will still make a great 'reading' copy for any old-time Superman fan or a parent with an older child or adolescent who would enjoy some great, book-length Superman adventures!!
We hope you'll stop by soon!

Among the highlights of the run of recent Superman comics are several issues featuring the "Sandman Superman" story arc which began in issue #233, which we have yet to purchase. However, we have issues #234 - #238, (#239 was a reprint issue), #240 and #241. We're also hoping to acquire #242, which concluded the "Sandman Superman" arc.
How did that story begin?
It began with Superman racing to the aid of a group of scientists determined to create a powerful new reactor that operates using Kryptonite, and ends with the irradiated sand forming into a new lifeform to beguile our favorite Man of Tomorrow!!
Written by Denny O'Neil, and illustrated by Curt Swan and Murphy Anderson, those issues are considered to be among the finest issues in DC Comics, which came about in 1971 at a time when Jack Kirby was joining DC where he would bring Jimmy Olsen into the 1970's, creating DARKSEID, the NEW GODS, Intergang and so much more along the way. Each of the Superman titles were greatly affected with continuing themes, such as the evil Morgan Edge, a clone of the real Edge, who was being held captive as seen in Lois Lane's comic. This was only part of the fun fans had with DC back in the beginning of the '70's, which spread outward to the BATMAN titles, with GREEN LANTERN becoming GREEN LANTERN/GREEN ARROW and winning awards as it touched on subjects of old age, overpopulation, environment, corrupt landlords, politicians and corporations, and of course racism.
For your enjoyment, here's the last page of Superman #233, which led directly into the Superman "Sandman" storyline, most of which we have in stock today!!
