I received this bundled in with an Ebay purchase, acting as a bonus free gift, and also as protective padding for whatever it was I'd actually purchased. I'm always keen for more reading material, so it was a pleasant surprise. The other comics were a 'What If', a Superman, and a Hulk, if I'm not mistaken, and they were all severely water-damaged.
A quick side-note: Old crappy comics make really good wrapping paper for gifts. Of course, sound judgment should be used when deciding which comics to destroy.
I haven't scanned the magazine in its entirety, just some of the more interesting pages.
For the record, I'm not a Superman fan, by any means. DC is definitely my preferred stable (having given the world my all-time favourite title: Garth Ennis' Preacher) but I wouldn't say I'm an ardent follower of all titles. I was a steady collector of Batman and Detective for roughly a year, coinciding with the height of Bat-Mania in 1989, and have been trying to read as many of the trades I can (most recently, 'Hush'. And what a steaming pile of manure that was), but I'm still remarkably far behind on what's been happening in Gotham over all these years...
Ever see a man say 'Yaahooo!' to a snack-cake before?
Superman really is a dick.
So based on the pic on bottom right, am I to assume that Edward G Robinson once played the Man of Steel?
"He buys and sells us, but we like it"???
