Here's a look at a few of the most titillating titles that will keep your comic book collection on the rise while discovering real-world situations.

You Don't Have To Tell Superman Twice... Or Maybe You Do

It is amazing the things that are seen in comic books. It baffles me to think that in the old days, certain etiquette had to be followed so strictly. I know it's hard to fathom, especially with the age of Aquarius and Woodstock offering so much free love. All those go-go dancers in skimpy skirts, and Playboy bunnies in nothing at all. So many images of women in bondage dating back to the 1940s that it would make Hugh Hefner blush. These are the types of things that can bring value to taboo comic titles.

Comic books were no different. This venue of entertainment would tease the covers of years past by offering up our childhood heroes as men of mysterious origins, but that could succumb to the same risque anecdotes as those of us who don't possess earth-saving abilities. Superman #261 shows a very human Superman who is brought to his knees without the power of kryptonite.

Kal-El, Human Afterall

So now we're holding superheroes to a double standard? When most of us get off of work we like to unwind by telling a few lies with our buddies at the local watering hole. Some of us prefer to go to a nice dinner with our wife, but what is a Superman to do? I'm sure Superman gets tired of rescuing us from the mundane bs that continues to plague this tiny planet.

He has been leaping tall buildings, and outrunning bullets since his introduction in Action Comics #1 (...and that's been since 1939). Let's not forget that he's battled multiple villains on behalf of Earth's regular citizens. Kal-El dated beauties from Earth and beyond without having the privilege of sitting back in Smallville with his feet stuck on an ottoman Al Bundy style while cracking open a brewski to tune out all the noise they make.

There is one such moment found in Action Comics #869 - it was recalled for showing Clark Kent sipping on a beer; however, that would be changed to a soda. A Superman can't catch a break!

Menage A Trois: Menage Archie

Something about wordplay to get a point across. Even in the comics taboo topics might come across as joking, but they still are lude and bawdy. In one issue particularly Archie seems to be getting ready to have his cake and eat it too. He leads us to believe that in the world of double trouble and double entendre, he's got a choice to make. If our carnal minds are to believe this interesting dynamic we'd have to put ourselves in the middle so to speak.
See, that's my attempt at double entendre, did it work?

Veronica and Betty are definitely love interests of Archie, but I can't see what he's implying coming to fruition. I think he'd have a better shot with Josie and the Pussycats. Whether he's in the pink or not, Archie's behavior definitely increases the value of Archie 511.

She Moves, She Moves

There is no way of getting around it She-Hulk is just used to having her way. She-Hulk by day is a powerful attorney at law, but by night Jennifer Walters is a creature of habit. I hate to give away too many jewels, but Jennifer's firm decides to defend Eros aka Starfox. Starfox was also a member of the Avengers who had his choice of supreme love interests across the galaxy. She-Hulk was no different.

In case you didn't know, Starfox is also the little brother of Thanos. Starfox was like a cosmic pimp who had the ability to manipulate a person with mind control. Needless to say, when She-Hulk came to her senses she beat the brakes off that motherfather. For your information, stay away from guys named Eros. It's short for erotic; which has to play into the psyche at some point.

For the rest of you, stay away from She-Hulk because when She Bangs, She Bangs!
