Action Comics 306!

Download Episode 317 Part II!

ACTION COMICS 306, November 1963, was published on September 26, 1963 (one day before my third birthday). It contained 32 pages for the cover price of 12¢. The editor was Mort Weisinger, and the cover was pencilled by Curt Swan and inked by George Klein.

- The 12 page Superman story was titled, THE GREAT SUPERMAN IMPERSONATION, written by Robert Bernstein (although the Grand Comic Book Database puts a question mark by his name. In the episode I mistakenly said that it listed the writer as unknown). This story has been reprinted in SHOWCASE PRESENTS: SUPERMAN vol. IV.

- The 14 page Supergirl story was titled, THE MAID OF DOOM, written by Leo Dorfman and drawn by Jim Mooney. This story has been reprinted in SHOWCASE PRESENTS: SUPERGIRL vol. II.

Elsewhere in DC Comics, 29 titles carried the November or November/December 1963 cover date.

Also highlighted in this episode are the issue's ads and other features, including the METROPOLIS MAILBAG letter column.
