Lot # 1734: 1960s DC Action Comics & Adventure Comics Collection (68)

Follow the adventures of Superman as an adult and a teen, with this 1960s DC Action Comics and Adventure Comics collection (68). The grandfather of the super-hero genre, the Man of Steel first appeared in Action Comics #1 way back in 1938. Reader acceptance was swift and soon super-heroes of all sorts were flying off newsstand shelves. DC went all in on Superman, creating numerous spin-off titles over the years, with Adventure Comics being one of the earliest alternates. In Action Comics we follow Superman as an adult, while Adventure Comics walks us through his formative years as Superboy. This collection of Silver Age comic books boasts considerable groups of both these long-running titles.
