In the days before comic book sized trade paperback compilation books (commonly mistaken as “graphic novels” which is something entirely different) comic companies published digest sized books which were comprised of previously published stories.
This is an issue of The Best of DC No. 12 which features compilation of Superman stories and is collectively titled, Superman in Time and Space. This 100 page digest book from 1981 contains six stories: Bus-Ride to Nowhere, The Sun of Superman, Starry-Eyed Siren of Space, Planet of Angels, Superman, Youʻre Dead… Dead… Dead, and Secret of the Space Souvenirs.
The cover was created specifically for this digest book by Ross Andru and Dick Giordano.

Really cool cover art. Love the sound of the titles ‘Superman, you’re Dead… Dead… Dead, and ‘Starry-Eyed Siren of Space’.

This is a nice little book. Were these digest versions like mini-comics? A nice way to collect the story 🙂

Yes. These were quite small compared to the average comic book. Not sure if you are familiar with the old Archie Comics books, but they came in digest form as well.

Yes, I’ve heard of them. I’ve got a Batman pocket book, that’s like a digest, its got Batman and the Joker on the front with the Joker Fish.
