Rs 3500+Shipping; Superman: The War Years 1939-1945 (DC Comics: The War Years); 1.5kg; 304 Full Color Pages in Art Paper; Hardbound;

Own this fantastic Golden Age Superman treasury, compiled and written by legendary comics writer Roy Thomas (co-founder of *Alter Ego* fanzine, longtime Marvel/DC writer of *Conan*, *The Avengers*, *X-Men*, and more). This hardcover collects over 20 classic full-length Superman tales straight from the DC Comics vault, tracing how Superman's introduction at the dawn of World War II lifted the spirits of a war-weary nation and gave people exactly the hero they needed. It reproduces Superman's original origin story and early strips from the 30s and 40s, complete with rare period art, historic cover reproductions (including original Action Comics and Superman issue covers), and context on how the Man of Steel evolved from a scrappy "champion of the oppressed" battling crooked businessmen and gangsters into a wartime patriotic icon helping steer America out of isolationism.

**What's special about it:**
- World War II Cultural Snapshot: It's part of DC's official "War Years" trilogy, alongside companion volumes *Batman: The War Years* and *Wonder Woman: The War Years* — a rare thematic deep-dive into how DC's biggest heroes were shaped by WWII.
- Curated and written by Roy Thomas himself — a genuine industry legend who actually worked as an assistant editor on DC's Superman titles early in his career before becoming a Marvel icon, giving this collection real historical authority.
- It includes classic art showing the first-ever appearances of tropes now iconic to superhero comics — a great resource for collectors and historians of the medium, not just Superman fans.
- A visually striking large-format hardcover with foil-style cover art, making it as much a display piece/coffee-table book as a reading collection.
- Archival Preservation: It gathers rare, hard-to-find complete stories from a bygone era into a beautifully printed, high-quality hardcover format, saving collectors from spending thousands of dollars on individual fragile 1940s issues.
Perfect for Superman fans, Golden Age comics collectors, or anyone interested in the cultural history of superheroes during WWII.

Rs 899+Shipping; Tomorrow You Die, Featuring John Steel, Special Agent, Buster Adventure Library, No-11, Extremely Rare 1966 Edition; Starring John Steel, Special Agent, this compact 64‑page thriller delivers gritty wartime espionage and sabotage.

Own a genuine piece of Golden Age British comic history with this rare Buster Adventure Library comic featuring John Steel, Special Agent — one of Fleetway's most enduring pulp-adventure heroes. Steel first appeared in 1959's Super Detective Picture Library and proved popular enough to headline his own adventures across several Fleetway digest series through the 1960s, evolving from a wartime British Intelligence agent into a rough-and-tumble private eye working the jazz clubs of Soho, Paris, and beyond. This particular issue, *Tomorrow You Die!*, drops Steel into a gripping Paris-set thriller of murder, blackmail, and gang warfare — opening with a body pulled from the Seine and escalating through kidnapping, a psychopathic hitman named Shakmat, and a explosive basement showdown as police sirens close in, all rendered in atmospheric black-and-white pulp-noir artwork typical of the era. Complete with its original cover art of Steel silhouetted against the Eiffel Tower and a wonderfully nostalgic vintage "Cresta Diamond Rings" advertisement on the back cover, this digest-sized pocket comic is a fantastic find for collectors of British picture libraries, spy-fiction memorabilia, and vintage Fleetway/IPC publications — a slice of 1960s pulp adventure that's becoming increasingly hard to find in complete condition.

Tarzan Gift Album, 1992 Published, Kiran Publications, Very Big Sized, in Very Good Condition. This 1992 release is considered a late‑era Kiran reprint, produced shortly before the publisher ceased operations, making surviving copies especially scarce. Known for its bold artwork, pulp‑style coloring, and full‑page jungle action panels, this album captures the essence of vintage Tarzan storytelling— wild landscapes, heroic rescues, and the legendary Lord of the Jungle in his prime.

This bumper collector's edition packs together 3 complete, full-color Tarzan comic stories in one volume:
1) Jail Break: Deep in the jungle, ruthless poachers Quagga and Jamu snare a terrified baby elephant — but they've picked the wrong prey to hunt. Tarzan strikes back with fury, unleashing a stampeding herd of zebras that tramples Quagga into the dirt, while Jamu is left to face justice at the hands of the law.
2) Tarzan's Son - Hannibal Howard: Korak and his chimp Charlie stumble into horror: an entire village massacred, its people dragged off by ruthless slave traders. Racing against time with his new ally Hannibal Howard and the mighty elephant Big Ben, Korak charges headlong into a desperate rescue at sea — Big Ben smashing through the slavers' ship in a thunderous, life-or-death showdown. Victory is won, but it comes at a cost: loyal Big Ben, after forty years of devotion, breathes his last, leaving Hannibal — and readers — heartbroken.
3) Mark of the Leopard: Treachery stalks the sacred combat ring! A power-hungry challenger secretly unleashes a savage, clawed assassin — the Leopard Man — to murder the reigning chief and steal his throne. Tarzan senses the deceit closing in and hurls himself into a ferocious, claw-versus-fist battle to the death, wrestling with a killer who fights like a beast — and emerges victorious just in time to shatter the plot and save an innocent ruler's life.

Beautifully illustrated in classic adventure-strip style with vivid, painterly coloring, this is a genuine slice of Indian comic publishing history. Kiran Comics was a pioneering Indian comic line that published popular US and international comic characters in English and Hindi from 1979 to 1990, distributed by India Book House, at a time when reprinting beloved global heroes like Tarzan, Superman, Batman, and Richie Rich was the backbone of India's comic culture before homegrown characters took over the market. For collectors of vintage Indian comics or Tarzan lore alike, this Gift Album is a rare, nostalgic time capsule of a beloved era in comic publishing.

**Profile: Jeff Tracy (p. 21)**
A character spotlight on Jeff Tracy, the retired astronaut and founder of the rescue organization, along with his five sons who pilot the vehicles. This gives new readers a quick, friendly introduction to who's actually running the show.

**"Operation Earthquake" (p. 22)**
The second major story — a sudden, mysterious earthquake strikes a major city, pulling in rescue teams from everywhere. But things aren't what they seem: a fortune in gold goes missing during the chaos, hinting that someone may have used the disaster as cover for a heist. A gripping mix of rescue-mission drama and detective mystery.

**Tracy Island — Technical Data (p. 36)**
A detailed technical breakdown of the island base and its vehicles — for readers who love gadgets, engineering, and behind-the-scenes design work. This is the kind of page model-builders and vehicle enthusiasts especially love.
