Wednesday Worlds of Wonder ACTION COMICS "Superman in '100 Years...Lost, Strayed or Stolen!' "

We Don't Usually Run Superman Stories...

...but this never-reprinted Silver Age Superman tale (yes, there are a few of them) under a Carmine Infantino laid-out/Neal Adams penciled-inked cover, from DC's Action Comics #370 (1968) is so truly unique that it stuck in my head ever since I read it brand-new, plucked from a candy store comic spinner rack!
(And no, I'm not telling you how old I am!)

And here's the really-kool part!
It's not a dream!
Not a hoax!
Not an Imaginary Story!
In fact, it was canon...until Crisis on Infinite Earths!

With reviewers comparing the new Superman movie to a really-good Silver Age comic, now is the time to read this time-lost mini-epic that, if done today, would be a six-issue mini-series and at least a couple of one-shot tie-ins!

Enjoy a unique World of Wonder...

Yeah, there are a couple of leaps in plot logic and amazing coincidences, but it's an absolutely-amazing bit of science-fantasy by writer Cary Bates, penciler Curt Swan and inker Jack Abel that holds your attention start-to-finish!
And isn't that what you want when you enter a World of Wonder?

See Superman the Movie!

Happy New Year's Day!

CoronaVirus Comics ACTION COMICS "Three Aces vs the Serum Stealer"

Not every feature in DC's Action Comics has been Superman-caliber material...

...including this series featuring middle-aged aviators!

This never-reprinted tale about opportunism during a medical emergency from DC's Action Comics #39 (1941) resonates today since some individuals and businesses are taking advantage of shortages of equipment (like masks and hand sanitizer) and medications during the Covid-19 pandemic!
Written by Gardner Fox and illustrated by Chad Grothkopf, it's a solid, simple tale, just not very "flashy" as compared to the lead feature (You-Know-Who).
Despite that, they had a fairly long run in Action from #16 through #63.

BTW, The Three Aces constantly-state (as in this tale) that they flew in "the World War".

Since America hadn't entered World War II as of the time of publication, it was a clear reference to World War I (15 years earlier), which would have made the youngest of them in their late-30s, at least!

As of Action #47 (1942) they rejoined the military, serving aboard the aircraft carrier USS Roosevelt (Theodore, not Franklin).
Note: there wouldn't be a real aircraft carrier named "USS Theodore Roosevelt" until 1986!
