If that is an actual picture of the book it is the only photo I’ve seen of a copy that is still white. Usually the title background is at minimum dingy.

I bet it’s the lamest Superman story ever, too. :lol:

Different times Jermo, different times. He couldn’t fly at that point if memory serves and both he and Batman killed the bad guys.
A lot of that
oldancient stuff is almost in a foreign language. -

Never knew that outright killed the bad guys though…that’s interesting. I thought that was just borrowed from those days and killing off superheroes/villains was a relatively knew idea.

You can find reprints of the story at a reasonable price. Usually around a big anniversary the first issue gets a reprint edition and your local comic shop likely has a couple in their back issue bins.
DC has a terrific line of reprint editions called Archive Editions for most of their books.
They are hardbound with glossy paper. You can usually pick them up on ebay at a discount from MSRP.
