Published by DC Comics March 1960.  Cover by Curt Swan.  Feature Story written by Jerry Coleman (likely his first World's Finest story, see his biography below), penciled by Dick Sprang (a Batman artist of several decades), and inked by Sheldon Moldoff, one of Bob Kane's primary "ghost artists".  A Tommy Tomorrow story is one of the backup features. 

A beautiful cover with no major flaws.  The cover reflects light well (about 80% of original gloss) with strong coloring and is relatively flat and smooth.   There is a minor color breaking crease between Batman's torso and right arm, two very minor ones at the bottom edge (near a star-creature spike), a six millimeter tear at the top edge to the right of "MAR.", a small portion of the right edge (to the left of "SUPERMAN" in the title box) torn away, along with general minor non-color breaking creasing (see Definition of a Crease below), though as mentioned the cover is relatively flat and smooth.  There is a number inked in to the left of the World's Finest logo.  There are a few trivial tiny spine stress marks.  Minor general soiling to the front cover and a bit more on the back cover.  Interior pages are very supple and white to a light cream at the edges.  The staples are well placed.  The color of the cover falls short of reaching the spine.  The cover is firmly attached to both staples.  The top edge is slightly creased, though the other edges are sharp.  The corners are slightly rounded.  The back cover has several minor flaws.  The book lies relatively flat with three of the corners rising 3 millimeters.  The book is complete with all pages securely attached with no interior tears or rips, except for a number of the tiny printer's perforations which often appear at the bottom of the page have turned into tiny holes.  A number of minor hard to see creases drop this book to a FN grade, but the cover still has much of its original appeal!!  The faces of the star-creatures are very amusing. 
      
Comic Grading - Definition of a Crease.
     
Crease - A fold which causes ink removal, usually resulting in a white line.  This seems to be the sense of what a crease is to Overstreet's Grading Guidelines and most comic graders.  We note two categories of creasing in our descriptions, 1) color breaking and 2) non-color breaking. 
 
For a color breaking crease, it must show that white line, though of course the thickness, length, and cover location of the crease are all important factors in how severely the crease actually degrades the cover's impact.
 
A non-color breaking crease is technically not a crease since it doesn't break color, but to those of us who have spent hours obsessing over our books, it is an interruption in the gloss or how the cover reflects light.  Take a smooth unblemished white sheet of paper and press your thumb nail into it several times using varying amounts of pressure.  As the paper is white there is no break in color, but depending on lighting and its angle to the paper eventually you would be able to see every point where the nail impressed the paper.  Again the noticeability, number, and locations of non-color breaking creases are factors affecting the quality of the cover.
 
If a cover is generally smooth, this means the non-color breaking creases present are interfering little with the cover's appearance.  These kinds of creases range from unnoticeable in normal viewing conditions to very intrusive.  A comic must be very carefully handled to avoid leaving these impressions at the edges.
 
Unfortunately, scans of the covers, even the enlargeable pictures we employ, do not always fully depict these imperfections.  We try to fill in the gaps by offering our estimate of what the Overstreet Grade would likely be, and by giving a detailed written description. 
 
Like most comic buyers and graders we have exchanged thoughts with, we agree that Overstreet Grading Guidelines provide a helpful starting point to access a book's quality, but we all have our own tastes and biases, and sharp disagreements on various books as well as complaints about Overstreet's approach.  Different books will impress you differently than they would us, which is why we try to be detailed and factual.  We are merely trying to provide my buyers with enough background so the book received satisfies or exceeds the expectations generated by our listing.
 
Jerry Coleman's Biography
   
We have added this section on Jerry Coleman, partly because we have a number of World's Finest issues with his stories listed, but mainly because we like his philosophy of story telling.  It reminds us of how Gene Roddenberry's outlook shaped his vision of Star Trek.
            
    The following is from Mike Grost:
    
Jerry Coleman was a frequent contributor to Superman during 1954 - 1960, and to World's Finest from 1960 - 1962.  He also worked on the other Superman family magazines.
       
Coleman's work tends not to emphasize mystery, or surprise twist endings.  However, this does not mean his tales are uninteresting.  Coleman's best works are profoundly satisfying.  Their unfolding stories show much imaginative detail.  The stories are constructed with logical, step by step detail, with each new event contributing to the overall basic theme.  Coleman's works lack padding.  Coleman was a positive thinker. Each event tends to contribute to the hero of his story achieving some admirable goal.  Coleman tends to write about people he admires.  The stories focus on heroes, not villains.
 
We are currently in the process of listing dozens of Detective Comics from the Silver and Bronze Age.  See my listings for many high quality comics from this era.

Relevant & Timeless, just like the Gospel it proclaims
Format: Hardcover
Never in history has our innate need to gaze upon something been so obvious as in this age of screens in every room and every pocket, instagram and facebook posts that depict an image we want to project (or imitate), and all the various forms of entertainment that involve us beholding something we enjoy or admire. Ruth's voice is not just a voice for women--all people, man, woman, Christian or not, would benefit from pondering the truths in this book as well--but for sure, so many Christian women are desperate for the message in this book, even if they don't realize it. In addition to us being a "beholding" generation, we also are a generation of self- and home-improvement junkies--always hungry for transformation and improvement. Ruth brings the timeless truths of the Bible into application in this book and reiterates the connection between "beholding" and "becoming". She shows us chapter after chapter that the transformation each of us longs for is directly tied to that which we set our gaze upon, and that the only lasting and genuine transformation we can experience comes from gazing upon the beauty of Christ and His gospel. I love the way the chapters are laid out; one chapter laying out the specific truth about God in His Word that we can "behold" and then the following chapter directly ties to what we can "become" as the fruit of beholding that truth. For those who have loved and followed Ruth's writing online, this book seems like an all-encompassing work that includes in this "Behold" then "Become" format all that we love about her ability to share what she is "preaching to her own heart". A voice like Ruth's among Christian women's mainstream bestsellers is long overdue and so needed. She not only brings the beauty of her artwork and design into this book, but the beauty of the deep and rich truth's of God's Word into the hands of people who may not have heard the true gospel, but may have been getting a lot of their theology from books in the "Christian" aisles of the bookstores. In those cases, I believe this book will point people directly to the Word of God, and encourages them to go there to behold Him. That leads me to the artwork. I have always loved her work (which adorns most of the walls in my home!) but there's something new about the art in this book. I love the patterned effect of most of the pages that causes you to stop and stare. As I've admired each page I've found myself thinking "this would be amazing wallpaper/fabric patterns/or addition to our wall" The colors are vibrant and classic. There's almost a modern vintage feel to the art, making it seem altogether relevant and timeless. One of my favorite parts about the art is that she explained in the beginning of the book some of the intention behind each plant or animal, and what they symbolized for her. It reminded me of God's intention in creation. Her sharing the meaning behind each detail actually helped me stop and gaze a little longer at each work of art and delight in the details. I think the purpose and design behind that aspect of it was genius in that it highlighted the exact point that her book's message is about: That the change we are looking for in our lives is not about doing more, being more, striving harder, but that it all starts first in where we are training our heart's affections. That in order to become what we were made to become, we must first stop and look at the God who created us. Stop and gaze upon Him in His Word and in His creation, and be reminded of what He has given us and who He has made us to be in Christ. Beholding Him alone is the key to transformation. And our busy self-made generation, in and outside the church, desperately needs to hear and apply this message. I'm personally so thankful for the work the Lord has done through Ruth. He has truly gifted her with the ability to point people's gaze past herself and her gifts, and to the One they were meant to glorify. That's a tough road to navigate as a Christian woman in today's social media culture, but by the grace of God, Ruth has done it with a humility that leaves me and friends I know who also follow her work, with an example of what it looks like to behold Christ in our every day and to walk with and point each other to the beauty of the cross.

A guide for beholding His presence in our everyday.
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
“Heartaches can either mold us into confident worshippers or defensive doubters. Who we become in the wrestling of them is not neutral... we aren’t promised answers that heal, outcomes we think we deserve, or timing that makes the most sense to us. Instead that In every circumstance Gods purpose will prevail and will not be thwarted by manipulators, liars, or cheats. Injustice and selfish schemes are no match for him who wastes nothing. We know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Hin, who have been called according to his purpose. “ Romans 8:28NIV Once again Ruth takes the word of Lord and gives them to us in morsels beautifully wrapped in gorgeous paintings and abundant wisdom. This is not a self-proclaimed wisdom but a wisdom that can only come from beholding God’s word for herself. Her work reflects the work the Lord wants to do in our hearts, to create beauty out of ashes and emptiness. Not only will the beautiful artwork speak to your heart but it will also encourage you to examine your heart. What circumstances and struggles in your life have shifted your gaze to yourself and away from the Lord? Have you felt empty after Sunday church feeling despondent that the day is over and you must return to “normal” life? Well, pick up this book and learn new rhythms, find new insights into the Lord’s heart through Ruth’s art and heart. The pages of this book make it easier to practice His presence. Ruth says, “Practice makes a posture become a pattern.” The devotions in this book will cause you to create patterns that breath new life into your everyday moments. One of those everyday moments is around the table with your family. Seeing God through sharing a meal together stirs my heart for community deeply. Here’s a snippet of how she sees the table. “Sometimes I think about the table of hospitality the same way. People who are invited in and given a seat at our table observe and receive relationship, provision, nurturing, and welcome in a way no mere invitation to church can provide. Instead of handing someone information about Jesus or an invitation to Easter service, or telling them that the gospel is life changing, we give them the opportunity to experience it through our hospitality. So much of Jesus ministry was done at the table.” What an encouragement to know that we don’t have to go far but we can start around our table and if our table needs filled we can bring others in to show them Jesus as we break bread. Not only are you invited to behold Him throughly the mundane moments in our lives, but also through the busy moments. The invitation to stop the hustle and to sabbath well abounds in this book. Throughout the book there two page spreads of gorgeous artwork and in them you will find practical suggestions for ways we can enter into be rest of the Lord. Ruth, reminds us that, “cutting corners on rest doesn’t get you ahead.” She urges us to “fight to abide.” There is so much richness in this book and I am so grateful to have read it beforehand but I am so looking forward to holding it in my hands, but most of all I am ready to make space for this book to be a daily reminder that I am His and he abides in me. A must have for everyone and one to constantly refer back through the ups and downs of life.

Beautiful, Artistic, and Powerful Truths!!
Format: Hardcover
I absolutely love Ruth Chou Simons newest book!! Beholding and Becoming is a work of art, overflowing with Ruth’s soulful, encouraging words and illustrations that capture your heart and soul. Her faith-filled wisdom, stunning artistry, quotes, and use of Biblical stories and verses blend together flawlessly to create a beautiful and engaging experience for the reader. The author bares her soul with honest vulnerability as she shares relatable everyday struggles and sheds the light of Jesus on them. The book is about becoming, and being transformed, by beholding Jesus, living life Christ-centered, and worshiping Him in the amazing and not so amazing details of our everyday lives. I find her lyrical writing to be convicting and soul-awakening. Ruth’s words had a profound effect on me-she opened the floodgates to my weary soul. She gently spoke life to the places in my soul that felt wilted and overgrown. God knew I needed to read the words written on the pages of this amazing book. This is one of my favorite quotes by Ruth Chou Simons in Chapter 13, God’s Mercy When Things Seem Unfair: “His grace causes us to see ourselves truthfully: undeserving of His relentless love and lavish generosity. His great mercy fills the cracks of our unbelief and-when received-allows little room for bitterness and discontentment to spring up.” What a powerful message! I was enthralled by her beautiful artwork, captivated by her writing, and blessed by the powerful truths she shares. Each page, each delicate flower, the colors, and placement within the chapters heightens the reader’s experience. The author’s passion and loving faith are evident in every detail. I will be reading Beholding and Becoming daily, to inspire and lift my spirits by lifting my gaze to God, to draw closer and glorify Him in my everyday details, and to remind me how much I am loved. I loved Beholding and Becoming and I believe everyone that reads it will feel the same. Ruth Chou Simons desire and passion to draw others closer to God, to live and breathe our faith day in and day out is apparent throughout her beautifully written and illustrated book. It’s a gift rich in truths that open your eyes and soul to Jesus’ lavish love. I feel so blessed by having experienced Beholding and Becoming.
