Every Friday, the pop culture website Pop-A-Looza runs a post from my vast 'n' captivating Boppin' (Like The Hip Folks Do) archives. This week's shared post is a Comic Book Retroview look back at 1966, coverless or stripped-cover comic books, my discovery of The Legion Of Super-Heroes, and my cherished copy of a DC Comics 80-Page Giant, Superboy # 129.That comic book meant an awful lot to me when I was six, and you can read my Pop-A-Looza recollection of it here.
If you're interested in reading about how my interest in the Legion developed after that introduction, I direct you to my piece The Everlasting First: The Legion Of Super-Heroes. For a longer and deeper dive into my fascination with DC Comics and reprints in the early '70s, you can also read my personal history of DC 100-Page Super Spectaculars.
(And on the subject of coverless comic books, look for the debut of Coverless Comics Cavalcade in the very near future. I still have a bunch of 'em.)
But right now, it's Boppin' Pop-A-Looza time, with the Boy of Steel and his older brother, Mon-El: Pop-A-Looza presents Comic Book Retroview: Superboy # 129.
