{"product_id":"dc-finest-superman-family-the-giant-turtle-man","title":"DC FINEST SUPERMAN FAMILY The Giant Turtle Man","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe title of this is kind of a misnomer. what this is, is the wildest Superman family stories from July 1960 to October 1961: Learn what it is REALLY like to be the girlfriend, pal, boss, or pet of the Man of Steel! Includes an imaginary story of Lois married to Superman; Krypto's puppy love; Streaky the Supercat; Jimmy Olsen as \"The Giant Turtle Man\" and much more from  six different titles and  30 wild issues from the heyday A\u003cem\u003ection, Adventure, Superman, Superboy, Superman's Girlfriend Lois Lane\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSuperman's Pal Jimmy Olsen\u003c\/em\u003e issues.\n\n\u003cem\u003eEditor \u003cstrong\u003eMort Weisinger \u003c\/strong\u003ewas instrumental in expanding the Superman universe to include six entire titles, all of which were doing very well back in these days. Jimmy Olsen was the wacky adventures; Lois Lane presented both adventure and a little romance; Adventure Comics and Superboy Comics explored the earliest days of Superman as Superboy; Action Comics and Superman Comics remained the headline titles, with appearances by Supergirl and the other super characters. They are all surprisingly fun to read even today; this is some of the best work from DC at the time, presenting offbeat attention-grabbing covers and imaginary stories that comic fans could not resist when found on the local spinner rack...\u003c\/em\u003e\n\n\u003cem\u003eAmazingly enough, Superman's co-creator \u003cstrong\u003eJerry Siegel\u003c\/strong\u003e was back working at DC and penned a good many of these stories. Also here is the superlative writer of the 1940s Captain Marvel adventures and the creator of Mary Marvel,\u003cstrong\u003e Otto Binder. \u003c\/strong\u003eBinder was also a regular contributor at DC during this interesting time. Artists \u003cstrong\u003eCurt Swan \u003c\/strong\u003eand\u003cstrong\u003e Kurt Schaffenberger \u003c\/strong\u003eare all over this collection and they set the standard for the best in Superman family artwork. Curt was THE Superman artist at this time, while the smooth line work and beautiful ladies of Schaffenberger made even a slightly strange title like Lois Lane a must-have for art fans like myself. - Bud\u003c\/em\u003e\n\nCollects stories originally published in \u003cem\u003eSuperman's Girl Friend, Lois Lane\u003c\/em\u003e #19-28, \u003cem\u003eSuperman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen\u003c\/em\u003e #47-56, \u003cem\u003eSuperboy\u003c\/em\u003e #87, 90, 92, \u003cem\u003eAdventure Comics\u003c\/em\u003e #287, \u003cem\u003eAction Comics\u003c\/em\u003e #266 and #277, and \u003cem\u003eSuperman\u003c\/em\u003e #142-143 and #147, 1960-61.\n\nAlso contributions from writer \u003cstrong\u003eRobert Bernstein \u003c\/strong\u003eand artists \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Forte, Al Plastino,\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eGeorge Papp.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DC Comics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59643411169566,"sku":"DCFSF","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0999\/0684\/7006\/files\/dcfsf-dc-finest-superman-family-book.jpg?v=1784515691","url":"https:\/\/shop.budsartbooks.com\/products\/dc-finest-superman-family-the-giant-turtle-man","provider":"Bud's Art Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
