Adventure Comics (1935,1938)

Adventure Comics began its life in 1935 under the title New Comics. Published by National Allied Publications (later DC Comics), it later changed its name to New Adventure Comics in 1937 with its 12th issue. It wasn't until the 32nd issue that the title took upon its familiar moniker, Adventure Comics in November of 1938. Through the years, Adventure Comics has introduced numerous characters and firsts into the mainstream comic book industry such as The Hourman, Lana Lang, Legion of Super-Heroes, Black Orchid, and (my personal favorite) the Silver Age Aquaman. Common characters throughout the years that can be found within this series are Superman, Aquaman, Batman and Robin, Supergirl, and Superboy. Adventure Comics is truly a canvas upon which each decade through which it passed painted upon its covers and stories. In total, there are 503 issues to the series, the last ten which are in Digest format.

Currently, I'm working on issues 300 through 399. It's only recently that I've finished issues 400 through 503. Right now, there are far too many to list which I am missing. While finding books in the 300's isn't terribly tough to do, finding books in this run in 5.0 - 9.0 grades are, indeed, difficult. Often, I settle for grades between 4.0 and 5.0. I'm not too loaded up with 300's, so I'll probably list the ones I have before long.

**UPDATE**

Well, we're starting to break ground into issues 300 to 399. Here's what things are looking like in that range of issues. These are te ones that I have:

318 322 324 344 345 346 348 353

355 358 363 364 365 366 367 368

370 371 372 373 374 375 376 377

378 379 380 381 382 383 384 385

386 387 389 393 394 396 397 398

399
