No issue 70 cover at the Grand Comics Database (for which I should thank much more often for these great cover images), so here's Issue 80!

Issue 90! I wonder if that's Jack Burnley being referred to on this cover?

Issue 110's cover is missing too, so here's issue 120!

By the 10's: Henry!

Henry, Carl Anderson's mute comics strip character, had his own Dell Comics book for a while... and here it is... By the 10's! Not much to say about this one, just enjoy the gallery!

Cool Stuff: Superman Stuff!

It's an all-Superman edition of Cool Stuff this time, and I'm starting out with the 12-inch Megos!

superman_12jorel.jpg
superman_12luthor

Well, two of them, anyway!

superman_60smelmaccup

This Melmac cup is from the 1960s!

Energized Superman!

superman_idealplaycase3
superman_idealplaycase4

Ideal made this playcase, and it looks like one of the missing figures from this set was Krypto... guess that means when I'm making much more money, I'll have to try to acquire one!

superman_japdiecast.JPG

This odd-looking Japanese toy was a die-cast figure!

superman_mexlc.JPG
superman_mexlc2.JPG
superman_mexlc3.JPG
superman_mexlcs.JPG

All these Mexican lobby cards were made to promote episodes of the George Reeves TV series, which were shown in theatres! Dig the comics cover art used on some of them!

superman_parachute.jpg

This paratrooper Superman was obviously a bootleg item!

superman_pins

These were made as pins and refrigerator magnets!

superman_prestomagix.jpg

Presto Magix!

superman_scissorschemtoy

What a rip-off this was... once the scissors are off the card, there's no indicator that they were a Superman item!

superman_slidepuzzle

Slide puzzle, using a modified version of the "Kryptonite Nevermore" cover art by Neal Adams!

superman_watch

This watch is a very recent item, but I think it's very cool!

Next time, Cool Stuff looks at some stuff that starts with "t"!
