Dig Now, Die Later!

One of the most morbid covers I have ever seen is the cover of Worlds Finest # 195, featuring The Man of Steel and The Dark Knight Detective forcing young Jimmy Olsen and Robin the Boy Wonder to dig their own graves!

Worlds Finest

I can’t say I know what this whole thing is about, but knowing DC comics of the era a bit, no doubt it’s some trick to fool some crooks for some reason. DC went to that well very very often in the 1960s and 1970s, and this looks like another instance!

    What year was this comic book with the graves on the
    cover ?

    One of my favorite all time Superman stories involved Supe time travelling back to the 1860’s to try to save Lincoln from being assassinated….

    This comic is dated August, 1970. Freaky cover, huh?

    I think I have read that Lincoln story, too. Cool comics!
