COMIC BOOK COVER GALLERY: Superhero Versus Superhero in comics acquired in the '60s, '70s, and '80s

Aw, who doesn't love a good superhero battle? Let's gather a few of those costumed crusader clashes for this week's Comic Book Cover Gallery.

Like any decent no-holds-barred wrasslin' match, this one's pretty lenient in applying the ol' rulebook. Doppelganger against doppelganger skirmishes are okay, though they need to be legit doppelgangers (like the Earth-One vs Earth-Two Superman tussle pictured above), and not involve anyone or anything pretending to be something they ain't (like the robot Spider-Man sent by Kang the Conqueror to scuffle with the Avengers):

While one could argue that real life larger-than-life superstar Muhammed Ali wasn't really a superhero, I say he was, and I further say that Superman Vs. Muhammed Ali remains one of my all-time favorite Superman stories.

As always, we'll be sticking exclusively to the '60s-'80s era of acquisition I've established for these galleries. Today's selection includes books I bought new, back issues I acquired after the fact (but within the timeline), and B-stock contraband originally purchased without their covers. These aren't actual photos of comics in my collection; most images are courtesy of the Grand Comics Database, which is grand indeed. But I did have each and every one of 'em at some point in time.
