Superman--paragon of truth, justice and democracy for a war-torn world. In the early to mid '60's it was... Spider-man--luckless nerd whose powers celebrated the exuberance of youth during a time of social upheaval at the birth of the "youth culture". In the early '90's it was... Spawn-dark, undead demon whose hell-born heart was motivated by undying love in a world embracing personal greed. Today, it is...

All the action, suspense and characterization you expect from kurt (avengers) busiek and stuart (superman) immonen plus, an incisive look at superheroes and celebrity in a world where fame literally is power."

Shipping

USPS PRIORITY MAIL is now the only form of shipping I use. In some cases when purchase is for a single comic book USPS FIRST CLASS MAIL is offered as long as it is 13 ounces or less. In most purchases, when picking USPS PRIORITY MAIL LEGAL FLAT RATE ENVELOPE, the comics will ship in a GEMINI mailer and put inside the Legal Flat Rate Envelope. I do offer the USPS PADDED FLAT RATE ENVELOPE, but they are a little smaller and a Gemini Mailer will not fit inside. Larger purchases will ship via USPS MEDIUM FLAT RATE BOX. Any questions, please e-mail me through Hip.

International buyers - sorry can no longer accommodate

Combined shipping - yes, i do combine shipping. Please e-mail through the Hip link here on the page to inquire about shipping costs for multiple items before buying.

Thank you for your patronage.
