Owner's Description
Last issue of the original Adventure Comics :sniff I still recall seeing this Digest as a child and wanting it badly but not having enough on me to purchase it. The next week when I got back to the shop was gone. A few years later found one at the quarter bins at my LCS. Thanks to Vane for allowing me to purchase this near non-existent in high grade DC Digest.
At time of cancellation this was the longest running DC title having started it's run in 1935 as "New Comics" then "New Adventure Comics" from #12-#31 and finally "Adventure Comics" from #31-#503.
