Action Comics #386 (March 1970)


I saw this at The Great Escape and had to put my $4.99 down for it, feeling the Tired Old Man vibe. Read it right away, and even though it was corny as hell, (1) I enjoyed it immensely,  (2) I found that it took me at least twice as long to read it as it would take me to read a contemporary comic book, and (3) I discovered that it was the middle book of a trilogy, so I might have to go looking for #385 and #387.

Ah, old comic books. I wish there was a website where you could read all of them. Internet Archive does have some. In fact, I just found a complete set of the short-lived Atlas / Seaboard comics that I loved so much in the days of my youth. (I already read Barbarians featuring Ironjaw #1. It was terrible and I loved it.) Wish somebody would put out a big fat hardback with all of those comics. I'd put my $150 down for it.
