How Did You Discover DC's Golden Age Heroes?

The Greatest Superman Stories Ever Told.


When I was a young fellow I was handed this book. One of the early stories is Superman vs The Archer. Superman #13. It has a few other tales from the Golden Age up to post crisis world. When I was a boy I LOVED the Golden Age stories, and then lost interest in most of the stories until it got to the post crisis age. Although their is a Bronze Age story that has the Forever People in it that I also enjoyed.

I never liked the silver age stories, even as a kid.

Jeepers, I feel like I was already an old feller when that book came out. For me, the book that had the most vintage Superman stories--aside from the 100 Page Super-Spectaculars--was SUPERMAN FROM THE THIRTIES TO THE SEVENTIES (and the Batman companion book).

That plus AICFAD and the two STERANKO HISTORY OF COMICS volumes--followed shortly by Feiffer's GREAT COMIC BOOK HEROES and a subscription to the MENOMONEE FALLS GAZETTE--served me well.

The early '70s were a great time to learn about the history of comics. In addition to all the reprints from DC, there was also Warren's THE SPIRIT magazine.

I was never so happy as when these books (as well as the Shazam one) turned up at the bookstore at my local mall. I devoured them.

Through Wikipedia/DC Database. I never owned reprints of Golden Age comics until I got the eight volume of the Superman Chronicles just a few months ago.
