1942 1st Superman Superhero Graphic Novel DC Comic Lowther Color Illustrated

"When Superman came out, it galvanized the entire industry. It's just part of the American scene. Superman is going to live forever."

― Jack Kirby, Comics Journal

Superman is one of the most popular fictional superheroes of all time, published by DC Comics. Superman appeared in various radio shows, newspaper comics, and eventually television and movie premiers. Because of his popularity, the name Superman has become synonymous with the American comic book. The book is the first novelization of a comic book character, and the first Superman story written by someone other than Jerry Siegel. It was Lowther who first provided many now-familiar details of Superman's birth and early life.

This 1942 first book edition by Random House features 10 full-page illustrations, 4 of which are in color.

Description:
1870 Complete Numismatics Ancient & Modern COINS Medals Rome Barthelemy French
Jean Baptiste de Barthelemy's "Manual of Complete Numismatics" is a 19th-century guide on collecting and identifying ancient and modern coins. This work provided descriptions of found coins and their importance; however, it was the atlas tomes that proved to be the most valuable to collectors. The same is true even today – the atlas volumes offer hundreds and hundreds of illustrated views of ancient coins and medals.

1785 Buffon Natural History SCIENCE Color Illustrated Evolution Microbiology 5v

"Virtually all the well-known writers of the Enlightenment were 'Buffonians'"
― Ernst Mayer

The monumental work by Comte de Buffon, "Histoire Naturelle," was fascinating 18th-century collection of articles and encyclopedia entries on material sciences, physics, chemistry, technology, as well as the history of animals. Buffon wrote the volumes with the intent of addressing all-natural history, but after realizing the grandeur of the work, he focused on the individual orders of living things. The DSB mentions that
"Buffon's order is formed by a philosophical bias rather than by science."
This beautiful five-volume German example features 17 impressive hand-colored engravings depicting the development of humankind and the human form!
