THE KRYPTONITE KID A Novel by Joseph Torchia Published in 1979 by Holt, Rinehart and Winston in 1979. A first edition so stated. Book is fine, the dust jacket is fine. The dust jacket does not exhibit the usual rubbing, as is usually always found in this pop-culture mythology book. Any semblance of rubbing is on the rear jacket cover where the book rested. I had three copies that I bought new in 1979 and covered them in dust jacket protectors as I saw the blue, red and foil dust jacket was prone to rubbing right out from the publisher. So, this a great copy. I offer three copies initially. One by one or all three. First edition of this cult Superman classic from the seventies. Add a map to your own listings. FREE Trial!
