These comic strips certainly had a unique charm about them, eh, McS? I only have a few Superboy mags, so maybe I should hunt some down to add to my collection. Incidentally, you never commented on part 3 of my Conan Saga Cover Gallery. No Neal Adams included, perhaps?
ReplyDeleteAs a 10 year old I liked Superboy mostly as the covers were so good ( by Adams and Cardy) but there was certainly a charm to them . I have picked a few Superboy back issues from the 1970s in sales in the last 3 or so years and enjoyed them. Sorry I 've been travelling the last 3 weeks , we were in USA visiting family and travelling in the state with veryand limited internet access . We only returned yesterday a bit jet lagged to hear an elderly family member (91) had broken his hip so been helping out with him. Luckily he's getting better. I will catch up with my blogs later been commenting on a few when I 've had time and interent.
ReplyDeleteYou should've mentioned you were away so that I could've broken into your house and nicked all your best mags, McS. Nobody'll look after them the way I would. Get some sleep, old timer.
DeleteLoved the twenty-five cent era for DC even if it proved to be a disaster for them, I still think it generated some of the best stuff they ever did. Great packages, both new and reprint. Nick Cardy was a fantastic cover artist, and the Bob Brown-Murphy Anderson team was quite capable as well.
ReplyDeleteThe 25 cents comics were amazing and were some of my favourite comics of the 1970s. Aah Mr Cardy was one of the best ever
