Question
I recently found some mini comic books in a box of thing saved from when i was younger. They have no dates on them they are dc comics.  On the cover they say The secret of origin of superman , the secret origin of green latern, and justice league america and say all new No.1 if you can tell me anything about these that would be greatly appreciated.  

Answer
Hi Gail

Here's what I was able to learn about these comics:

These comics measure 3 x 4", contain 14 pages and are from the early 80s.  Six different issues were made.  The featured characters were WONDER WOMAN, THE GREEN LANTERN, HAWKMAN, AQUAMAN, SUPERMAN, AND THE JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA. When these first came out they were sold in a little baggie with a type of candy which was like "sprees candy."  These are a fun item but do not have much collector's interest or value.  Enjoy!
