Description: Measures 6-21/32" X 10-1/8", 523+ pp, b&w illustrations, stated "First Printing," oversized trade paperback published by DC Comics (NY). Group 1-910 Every time I a Silver Age comic book cover published by DC Comics, I am swept back to a rainy Thursday afternoon in the late summer of 1959. Thursdays were when the new comic books were delivered to Ralph's Grocery Store, just a block up the street. I had just moved to the neighborhood, and my new friend John, who lived directly across the street, was introducing me to the habits of the neighborhood, one of which was scoping out the new comics on Thursdays. Clutching my quarter allowance, I followed John up Hickory Street, into the chilly aisles of Ralph's, and back into the newsstand area. A single spinner displayed the latest treasures; and John and I argued over the merits of many of the books. I finally settled upon the latest issues of ACTION COMICS and SUPERMAN; but John was magnetically drawn to those newer, strange superheroes that had begun appearing in SHOWCASE PRESENTS, one of which was THE FLASH. Somewhat lighter by 30 cents, we walked back down the hill to my house, and stretched out on the front porch, sharing our new comics back and forth, interrupted only by my Mom, who brought us a couple bottles of Coke, and a tray of cookies. One of the best rainy day memories in my entire 70-plus years; and this volume of SHOWCASE PRESENTS (although from a few years later) brings those memories back by the trunkful. Volume 4 extends from issue #162 in June 1966, through issue #184 in December 1968, and features the jaw-dropping talents of JOHN BROOME, JOE GIELLA, MURPHY ANDERSON, ROSS ANDRU, CARMINE INFANTINO, FRANK ROBBINS, SID GREENE, MIKE ESPOSITO, AL PLASTINO, E. NELSON BRIDWELL, CARY BATES, and GARDNER FOX. Shipping charges include postage (including USPS Tracking on domestic shipments), packaging materials, labor and fuel (the nearest post office is 14 MILES away!); but I do combine shipping charges on multiple items -- so fill up that cart NOW an' save some $$$!
