Nope. Totally wrong.Wasn't her law at all. That was around before her. That law was around so Suffering Sappho would not suffer any long It wasn't her that made the law, she was just a law abiding citizen. Yeah...but regardless, that cover still shows Wonder Woman and the other inhabitants of Paradise Island being "dickish" in the extreme, which I think was Juggernaut's point. Jeez, I'm a comic book pedant too, but let's not try to suck all of the joy out of what is, after all, a rather tongue-in-cheek thread, guys.  |

Hey, if you're not going to take stuff like Paradise Island, a city in a bottle and super-monkeys seriously, Confessor... Don't know how I'm going to explain all of this to poor Beppo. |

The Death of Superman- The imaginary story of Luthor finally succeeding. Those last few pages and especially the final panels brought tears to young Ish That death of Superman story (written by Siegel right?) is impressive since doesn't it basically reveal how Siegel would have ended the Superman story? Alan Moore said superheroes have no ending but there you have it. I consider anything written by the character creator to be canon, or canon fodder. Fun topic BTW. I mostly knew Superman from the 70s cartoons Superfriends. Superman had some good episodes like when he entered the mirror universe of evil or where he had to fight those fire creatures from the sun. Plus the Death of Superman Superfriends episode, bringing it full circle. |

Most of the comics I'm reading at the moment are Marvels from 1982.

Just to set the record straight, I hope you all do understand I'm having fun with this. Superman and I go back about 56 years. I'm not sure if it was the TV reruns I first started with or the comics, but I started reading Action and Superman about 1962, a few months after the price of comics rose to "gasp" 12 cents. As for the George Reeves' shows, I've probably watched each episode at least 20 times in my life and bought the DVD collections as well. Read all the Superman family of books all the way to about 1973 or so when I took a comic book sabbatical of a few years . Resumed my Superman reading with Byrne's takeover and only stopped a year after the Nu52 So, all in all, I probably read more Superman stories than any super hero character on god's green earth. Silver Age Supes will always be my fav, not only for my being at the proper impressionable age, but I loved the art of Curt Swan and Kurt Schaffenberger along with that cool retro Wayne Boring style. And the ideas that sprang from the minds of Otto Binder, Edmund Hamilton, Jerry Siegel etc. where just as rich and full of story potential as what Lee and Kirby produced. Only later as an adult when you think back at them do you see the weirdness and nutso qualities. it adds a whole new dimension to them. God, I miss Beppo the Super-Monkey, the Jimmy Olsen Fan Club, Professor Potter, Proty, the Superman Revenge Squad and on and on. These Superman family comics were selling, literally, millions of copies month after month. So obviously they were doing something right Those who were not around for the silver age don't have the understanding of the context of those times, that they were written under a stringent comics code and written for a children's marketplace but despite that, they are surely all time classics So forgive my tugging on Superman's cape. He's a big boy, he understands. Not knowing anything about Superman comics I'm finding this thread hilarious. Context or not, there was some weird stuff going on in those comics back in the day |

It's like, if you only knew. |

I just ran across this story in a reprint and I immediately thought of this thread. But since Krypto has superpowers this probably isn't painful to him?  |

The little doggie is thinking of suicide !!! That's if Superjerkboy misses when tossing him into a Green K meteor storm. Egads, no wonder Beppo never hung around Superjerk. And Streaky and Comet kept their distance too |
