Ever wonder how all of the members of the Pre-Crisis Superman Family got to Earth? Well here’s how it happened!
This is scanned from a postcard set I bought at the Superman Celebration in 2008. I forget how much I paid for the set but it wasn’t a whole lot. I may not be the biggest fan of the Silver and Bronze Age version of Superman but I love the heck out of things like this. There was a lot of really nifty ideas and the mythology (for lack of a better term) that the editors and writers and artists created for the Man of Steel. It may not be my cup of tea but it is still damn cool.
I hope everyone has a great weekend. I am hoping to have a lot more content next week now that Back to School is pretty much over.

I am pressed for time this Friday, so all I gots today is some more of those Superman Family covers from that eBay lot I bought a few weeks back. Before we get into that, though, I recommend you go check out this post from my buddy Shag’s Once Upon a Geek blog. He has been posting house ads from DC circa 1987 and there are a few Superman related ones in there so go check it out for that and because it is an awesome blog.
And now…on to the covers.
More under the cut.

All things considered it’s been a pretty good decade to be a fan of Superman.

While I have stopped buying the monthly Superman titles I haven’t stopped working on my Superman collection. These posts are meant to show off those acquisitions.
About eight years ago I made a concerted effort to build up my Pre-Crisis Superman collection. It was an era that I had never given much thought to or wanted to focus on but I figured if I was going to be a fan of the character I should try to learn as much as I could about all of his incarnations. Of all of the titles that have been hard to find Superman Family has been one of the toughest. I don’t know if the print runs were low or what but it’s hard to find them, hard to find them at a good price and hard to find them in good condition. A week or so back I lucked into a lot on eBay that fit both the good price and the good condition criteria. It was a 20 or so issue lot mainly in the 190′s and 200′s of the book. I scanned all of the covers and over the course of a few posts I’ll share them here because some of are quite awesome.
