As promised a little while ago, here is the cover of the one and only SUPER DC Bumper Book for 1971, which completes the run of TOP SELLERS' reprint title from the late '60s, early '70s, as edited by MICK ANGLO. It included various American DC strips (Superman, Batman, Jimmy Olsen, etc.), plus British-produced text stories, features, joke pages and humour strips. I'm not sure why this was called a 'Bumper Book' instead of an 'Annual', but perhaps the late comics collector and historian DENIS GIFFORD regarded this as the 'fourteenth' issue listed in THE COMPLETE CATALOGUE OF BRITISH COMICS back in 1985. If anyone owns the elusive and unseen 'last' issue, get in touch so I can buy it from you - or at the very least present a scan of the cover in a future post.
Below is the leaflet included in various issues of Super DC, advertising some DC-themed companion Annuals which were available at the same time - and for only 10/6. Wow!
