Ltd. (produced by The K. G. Murray Publishing Company Pty. Ltd.), marking the first Superman issue printed in full colour since 1950, and the first entirely in colour for nearly a decade. The colouring appears to have been done specifically for this Australian edition (not matching US originals exactly). It reprints early Silver Age Superman stories from DC Comics: Cover and main story \"One Hour to Doom!\" (10 pages, Superman #89); \"Untitled\" (Jerry the Jitterbug, 0.5 pages, humor filler), Batman #52; \"The Betrayal of Superman\" (8 pages, Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #8); \"The Four Superman Medals!\" (12 pages, Superman, Action Comics #207, finishes on back cover). Features matte colour cover stock, standard comic size, saddle-stitched binding. Part of Australia's 1950s \"golden age\" reprints of DC superhero comics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePage Count:\u003c\/strong\u003e 32 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition:\u003c\/b\u003e Please refer to the accompanying photos for condition, we are amateur graders, all best efforts are taken when indicating a likely grade.
