Biggest Bang For Your Buck (98 cents actually) during the Silver Age could very well be the Wham-O Giant Comic. Even bigger than the Tabloid-sized comics that came out later from Marvel and DC. Wouldn't say all the strips were classics but you did get contributions from Wally Wood , Ernie Colon, Warren Tufts, John Stanley and Bob PowellThe one big problem was where did you store this behemoth. 21 inches tall and 14 inches across But were any of the stories any Good ? I was wondering about the contents as well. The Diversions of the Groovy Kind blog seems to have a substantial sampling of interior pages but I haven't had time to look at it yet. |

Possibly my favourite 80s Action Comics. I read this for the first time in the mid 90s.  |

I read a lot of Superman and Action issues from roughly that era (about 1978 to the end of the 'Bronze Age', but I missed out on that one, and kind of had to play 'catch up' to the new-look versions later on.
I never cared for that 'makeover', IMO it was an obvious lead-in to the 'Super Powers' action figures. Sure, 'purple Luthor' wasn't that good a look, but this was hardly an improvement!
Hard to come up with an answer that others haven't selected, but DC COMICS PRESENTS # 26 is a good candidate. It may be overshadowed by the 'New Teen Titans' preview which renedered the rest of the comic an afterthought(and by the following 3 issues featuring that three-part Superman/J'onn Jonzz/Supergirl/Spectre/Mongul epic), but it's a nice straightforward slugfest involving Superman, Green Lantern, and an otherdimensional shapeshifter who has assumed GL's identity.

I bought it for the Jim Starlin story, and paid a little more in the back issue department not knowing that the NTT was the reason. |
