Let's just say that maybe its good that Silver Age Superman was a bachelor.
I recently read the Jimmy Olsen story in the latest "Showcase Presents: Superman Family". Like many Jimmy Olsen stories, it's hilarious. Its just Superman being a jack-ass for about eight pages to his newly adopted pal.
I think explaining why Silver Age Supes was such a jerk is a post in itself.
I also highly recommend reading "Superman Red/ Superman Blue" if you can find a copy. Its been reprinted a few places, and must be read to be believed.
Gosh, that first cover is just so.... sad!
ReplyDeleteSee. These covers prove that Superman is a a$$h*le. That was what you were trying to show, right?

ReplyDeleteI'm fascinated by the color coded supermen.
