Superman VS Shazam TPB

[Bruce Banner]

Been waiting for this TPB, and it finally goes on sale on the 27th of this month.
Classic Superman and Captain Marvel action!

Collects All-New Collector's Edition C-58, DC Comics Presents #33-34 and 49, and DC Comics Presents Annual #3.

Would have been great if they'd also included All-Star Squadron issues 36 and 37, but this is still a cool collected edition.

I have all the original issues already, but it will be nice to have them all in a handy TPB.

I've had that in my Amazon cart for about a month now--can't wait. It'll be a lot of fun.

Have the original, but that would be sweet to have in TPB form.....

[Earth 2 Chris]

I had that tabloid book, but lost it somewhere along the way. I also had part two of the DCCP two-parter, so this is a must buy for me!

Is "Make Way for Captain Thunder!" included?

Yeah it's been in my cart at Amazon for awhile now....

[The Toyroom]

Glad to see that DC is releasing a lot of classic good old-fashioned stuff coming up in trades. Too bad their current floppy output doesn't match up....

Is "Make Way for Captain Thunder!" included?

Alas, no. Great issue!


I hope DC do a similar reprint edition for the Superman vs Wonder Woman treasury edition next... and also include some of the best Superman and WW team-ups from over the decades.

That Wonder Woman-Superman story is going to be reprinted in a book featuring the Superman art of Garcia Lopez. I think it's out in April.

I really liked the work Rich Buckler was doing for DC at the time of that superman-Shazam story.

Thanks for posting, I will have to nab this.

Of course we all know Cap can whup Superman (just as he once did in sales)--he's magic!

[madmarva]

Cap won the battles in the 40s, but Supes won the war or his lawyers did.

[PNGwynne]

^Sadly true. I love the Big Red Cheese.

I really liked the work Rich Buckler was doing for DC at the time of that superman-Shazam story.

Yeah, since Adams got way to expensive, Buckler, in full Adams rip-off mode, did some exciting work for DC. It was fun to catch all the specific swipes he did of Adam's stuff, particularly when he drew Batman in World's
Finest.

Rich Buckler was the Rich Little of the comics world, but he had excellent taste first Kirby then Adams.

Cap is one of my favorites, too, but Superman's my favorite.

[Random Axe]

Wow. Can't think of another book more suited for me than this. I too would have liked the All-Star Squadron books as I don't own those, but this looks to be a nice collection at a great price through Amazon. Without doubt, they are my favorite place to buy most everything.
