The Phantom: №3: In Over Their Heads

📖 We bring you another breakthrough—the first American weekly comic book ever to hit the stands. And just as we revamped and renewed Superman, Wonder Woman, the Flash, Green Arrow and Justice League, so too are we reinventing the super-hero anthology format with ACTION COMICS WEEKLY.I asked Mike, a DC reader since the beginning of time, what his first memory of ACTION COMICS was. He hesitated for only a moment. "I'd been reading ACTION for about a year or two and I remember going with my father to the drugstore to buy comics. There were five that I wanted and my father would only let me buy four. I remember the cover story of ACTION and it was the 'Incredible Shrinking Superman.' I read someone else's copy, but it took me about ten years to find it on the collectors' market. I ended up paying $5.00 for it instead of the dime it had originally cost."There is, of course, a moral to this story. Don't pass up ACTION COMICS WEEKLY or you'll be haunting the comic book stores and conventions trying to get your hands on a copy of issue #601. The comic is an innovation on all fronts: frequency, format and lean, fast-paced contents. We're proud to be the company that brings you everything from the first mini-series (WORLD OF KRYPTON) to the first maxi-series (CAMELOT 3000) to the first Prestige Format book (DARK KNIGHT). But we couldn't bring you any of these pioneering projects if you weren't out there ready to support them, encouraging us to take more risks.
