Remember when DC Comics upped the price of all their mags to 25 cents and increased the page count to 52? They weren't exactly a success with readers and were purportedly part of the reason for DC being overtaken by Marvel when it came to sales. I thought they were great though, and superb value for money (even more so in the UK, where we got them for 7 and a half pence) considering all the back-up stories (new and reprint) that we got for our dosh. If not for the short-lived 52 page line, I might never have got to read some old strips and learn of characters from the '30s, '40s, and '50s that were previously unknown to me.
There were 11 issues in all of 52 page Action Comics, of which I had only 7 in my current collection, so I recently tracked down the missing 4 to complete the set. "This calls for a celebration!" I thought, and decided to present you Crivvies with a cover gallery of the full run. The 7 I already had I've owned for decades and were replacements for my originals bought back in the day (early '70s), so I don't know why it's taken me so long to get around to buying the rest of them. However, I've finally accomplished it and can now share the covers with you here. Remember any of them? Tell us about it in the comments section.
