India, I saw that very book (The Great Comic Book Heroes) in a bookshop here less than a week ago. As I recall, it was a hardcover. I didn't take it down to look at it, but after your recommendation I will go back and have a look.

I went back and bought the book by Jules Feiffer. The dust jacket is worn, and the interior of the book is in perfect condition.

I picked it up for NZ$15. This book is printed in 1965, which appears to be the first printing. Would that be correct?

Anyhow...

Thanks for the recommendation. I will love this book. All those colour comic reproductions... Is that the first Flash comic in there?!! I've never seen that before. The first Captain America -- likewise! Submariner, Hawkman, Spectre!
