Super Powers: The complete Federal Comics cover gallery


Here's a cover gallery of my complete run of Federal Comics' Super Powers:

 Super Powers #[1/NN], c.November 1984 

 Super Powers #2, c.January 1985 

 Super Powers #3, c.March 1985 

 Super Powers #4, c.June 1985 

 Super Powers #5, c.July 1985 

Super Powers #6, c.September 1985 


This series of Australian editions are closely aligned with the 1984 DC Comics editions in terms of issue numbers, covers and main feature contents. The exceptions are the first issue which is unnumbered and #6 which is based on the first issue of the 1985 series.

Unlike the random selection of backup features in Vigilante each issue contains an Aquaman backup story, originally published in Adventure Comics and Action Comics c.1980/81.

I'm confident the dates ascribed are accurate, give or take a month.

According to my records I first acquired an issue of this series in 2008 as part of a job lot of some dozen comics. The issue which completed the run turned up over 10 years later - not because these issues are especially scarce, but simply because I deemed them Polyfilla
