Phantom Zone villain Faora Hu-UI makes her first appearance in this issue. I got into a bidding war for this piece, I was excited at the prospect of having a piece from a noted collection and paid more than I should have with a final bid of $127.50 but that was several years ago. This piece did become the first example from a noted collection I added to my set. Faora Hu-UI was also featured in Man of Steel (2013), played by Antje Traue.
From myslabbedcomics.com:
Disney artist and recognized comic fandom scholar Don Rosa assembled a collection that he started in earnest in 1962 and contained every comic book and comic magazine that came off the shelf from 1966 to the late 80s. The collection, well known for it's preservation, also includes full runs from most publishers and titles dating back to 1945.
