Atlas Publications Adventure Comics 2

This rare South African reprint was published in 1959 by Atlas Publications (S.A. Magazine Co.).
Cover and Interior pages are newsprint - so after being read and swopped a few times they would likely be falling apart and thrown away.
These titles were printed in a smaller size (238x165mm) compared to the original DC Comics title.
Cover and Interior printed in colour.
The printing reproduction from the original was very good quality. This issue is only 24 pages.


Cover of Adventure Comics 2 South African Edition and the Cover of DC Comics' Adventure Comics 262:
This South African edition contains two of the three stories from DC Comics' Adventure Comics 262
Superboy: "The Colossal Superdog!"
Green Arrow: "The World's Worst Archer!"

Supercomix Superman 1 (Readers Den)

Thanks Mahdi from Readers Den (Cape Town) for these scans. 

Here is the cover for  the Supercomix edition of Superman #1 ( late 1970s ), the cover of the original US edition, Superman #284 ( note the cover was not used ), and the cover of Action Comics #419 ( a classic Neal Adams cover ). For some reason local publishers found this cover more appealing and used it for the local edition, but without the photo background. One of my favourite issues for purely nostalgic reasons, since its one of the first comics I ever bought as a child in the late seventies.
