I've always been curious about the Fourth World saga from the 70s and was excited to receive this for Christmas. Kirby used Superman to introduce bold new characters and concepts, which really helps bring in the reader.
Lots of folks have complained about the paper quality--saying it should be glossy, but I don't have any complaints. It's sturdy paper; not going to rip when you turn the page.

This massive 400 page book reprints Jimmy Olsen # 133 - 139, along with the first three issues of the new ... Read More

The nuts and the bolts. The retail price is 50 dollars. However on Amazon its 33 dollars. That's about two dollars and thirty six cents ($2.36) per issue. You don't have to hunt down the individual issues, plus its in a nice hard cover. Some of the colors have been redone in the Volumes. Mostly to correct laziness or errors made in 1971. Example, some pages I'm Mister Miracle issue 2 show the ... Read More
