Hey Folks, Tom here. I'm a fan of older books. (30's - 80's basically) One of my favorite "series" from DC came out in the 1970's. The 100-Page Super Spectacular books. I've got a question someone out there might have an answer to, or at least some good theories about. So here it is: Why, of all the various characters that got spotlighted in these books would Superboy be given 3 of the original 19 issues?? I mean I have nothing against Superboy, but I would think a more popular superhero like Flash, Green Lantern or the JLA would get more play!
There is already 1 Flash but only 1. There are 3 Superman and 3 Batman issues (understandable). I've got two theories on why this might be: Perhaps Superboy was much bigger in the 70's than I recall? I mean he WAS the boy version of the Big Guy. Or were they trying to push him on the readers because there was an upcoming new book or TV series on the horizon or something. Anyway thanks for reading!
