THE OFFICIAL UK SUPERMAN ANNUAL 1983...
Copyright DC COMICS |
A nice Brian Bolland cover adorns the cover of the UK Official Superman Annual for 1983 (issued towards the end of '82), and though I've not reproduced them here, the endpapers inside the book sport a double page illo by Dave Gibbons. I have to say that I find Vince Colletta's inking of Jim Starlin's pencils in the first story quite agreeable in this instance, though many of you might disagree with me as he wasn't everyone's favourite inker.
It's interesting to note that the first 'part' of what was originally three separate issues of, I think, DC Comics Presents, has 17 pages, the second part has 16, and the third part has only 15. Part two has therefore had what was a recap page omitted to avoid repetition (though it might be another page entirely), and part three has had two pages omitted for, I assume, the same reason. This was an all-too-common practice in these London Editions/Egmont Annuals which would've likely prevented my from buying them back in the day had I noticed as I'd have considered them incomplete.
I got this book recently as part of a set of three (of which I really only wanted one), and as I showed you the 1984 Batman Annual last week, I thought it only fitting to show you this one as well. Incidentally, I've presented the splash pages in the order they originally appeared, as the Superboy tale was 'sandwiched' between the second and third parts of the main story, so don't go thinking I've mixed them up. Feel entirely free to share any reminiscences you may have of this Annual in the comments section, Crivvies.
