The Super Comics Spirit!

(Joe Simon)


(Joe Simon)


Super Comics Seal of Quality was a brand put out by I.W. Publishing also called simply Super Comics. The name derived from Israel Waldman the owner who came to possess a printing company and found printing plates for numerous comics of the past from various publishers, most defunct. He then proceeded to repackage and reprint these comics without the required permission. The company lasted from 1958 until 1964, but I know I was finding Super Comics after in various packages. The two Spirit comics published by Waldman's company were reprints of the Quality Comics reprints of the series with some new material. Joe Simon was hired to created new and rather exciting covers, more in keeping with the dynamic covers of the early Silver Age.
