Action Comics #374
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join free"Alias Super-Thief!" is a standout entry in Action Comics #374 (1969), a 12-cent comic featuring a delightfully absurd twist on superhero logic. Written, drawn, inked, and lettered entirely by Henry Boltinoff, the story follows Super-Turtle as he casually repairs a plane mid-flight—only to quip about the need for a jack if it were on the ground. The cover, a dynamic piece by Neal Adams, captures the moment with bold, expressive lines that perfectly match the issue’s playful tone.
In this delightfully absurd 1969 tale from Action Comics #374, Super-Turtle proves his aerial prowess—literally—when he swoops in to replace a blown tire on a plane mid-flight. With a dry wit and a touch of bureaucratic humor, he notes the logistical difference between fixing a tire in the air versus on the ground.
In "No Mercy for Supergirl!" from Action Comics #374, Supergirl—known to her friends as Linda Danvers—faces a shocking trial on the alien planet Sarkon, where the Avenger, a stern enforcer of ecological law, condemns her for unintentionally harming a plant and a butterfly during her time at college. The story pits her against a justice system that sees even innocent actions as crimes, forcing her to defend her choices in a world where nature’s balance is sacred.
