I am selling a number of DC Silver Age comics - doubles that I have amassed over the years - need to shift some of my 100,000 collection! This is Superman #161 from May 1963, a real beauty! Bright cover, glossy cents copy from an original owner collection that I am gradually buying up from my pal in San Anselmo in California. He bought all these from new and says he was picky, going through the three or four copies to take the best one. F/VF 7.0 with nice fresh supple white pages! Such great page quality. An important story in the history of Superman when the death of his foster parents is told for the very first time. Sent out in a new plastic sleeve/bag with new backing board. Do take a moment to check out my new site! Free to join, free to list and low low seller fees! Postage (and very strong packing) is £3.25 for Inland UK. Please enquire about overseas postage rates. I can send anywhere in the world. I also combine postage for multiple wins. Transactions must be completed within 10 days of the auction ending. After that time an Item Dispute will be lodged and further action taken. If you don't request and pay for specific insurance, I cannot accept any responsibility for a parcel once it has been posted. So for Inland UK please ask about Recorded Delivery and Special Delivery if you think you want it. I always get a Proof of Posting receipt and I think only one parcel has gone astray in nine years. And funnily enough it did get back to me eventually so I sent it out again. If some some unlikely reason a parcel does go astray I can assist in setting up a parcel trace by sending you the receipt but it's up to you to fill in the Compensation Form and send off. I am just too busy with my career as a Producer/Director at the Discovery Channel making movies around the world. Check out my other items and also have a look at the free 20 page British Comic Price Guide accessed through my Dream Director profile. I am always buying comics and am most interested in Marvel and DC Silver and Bronze Age 1960s and 1970s. I buy some British titles like Commando and TV 21, number one issues with free gifts, superhero annuals, anything high grade and of interest. You can always reach me on or . I am very happy to value your comics and give you the best advice. I also value comic collections for insurance purposes. I have been down this route many times - ordinary house contents policies will not do, believe me! THE COMIC PRICE GUIDE IS NOW OUT ON-LINE!
