I think I linked to this a while back, but it's been re-brought to my attention by Mssrs. Harms and D.
But HE'S SUPERMAN!!! How can he be a dick?
Check out both this link and this link.
Keep in mind how DC was dreaming up its story ideas under Julie Schwartz. Julie would get one of his cover artists to draw up a cover with a crazy concept with a bizarre and seemingly inescapable situation for our heroes. Then, he would make the writers and artists drum up a story which would work to fulfill the expectations set by the cover WITHOUT upsetting the status quo of the comics. This led to some of the kookier, zanier ideas which were the hallmark of DC's Silver Age.
Again, thanks for the links. Now go take a look and be amazed at how cold hearted The Big Blue Boyscout can be.
Boy, does THAT bring back some memories.
