Curt Swan Knows His Super-Faces!

This one-page feature appeared in the February 1966 issue of Action, issue #333.

I mean, wow!  A couple of these images I recognize from other places.  Specifically, the laughing Superman seen just to the right of the DC mailing address.

It also appeared on this Super Cheese!  Read the story of this box here.

I Still Like the Silver Age Reality

This article is from the October 1990 Issue of Amazing Heroes, number 184.

Do you agree with Sanderson that DC's Silver Age menagerie of Superman accretions did not transfer to other DC titles because of editorial insularity?  And that Marvel's success in building "one" reality was because good ole Stan Lee sort-of oversaw their whole line of superheroic scribblings?

Or, did Barry Allen marry Iris West only because Marvel's Reed and Sue Richards broke the matrimonal comic-book ice?

I do not agree with the people who hail "Superman Red and Blue" as a wonderful story.  It's simplistic, and has all the faults which Sanderson points out.  Several Silver Age Imaginary Stories are much better IMO, such as Superman #175's "Clark Kent's Brother" -- covered in depth in a 2007 post.

I must confess to your disappointment and mine, me buckos, that I DO NOT own the issue of Amazing Heroes which contains a f further installment of Sanderson's article.  Boo-hoo!

OK my friends, since we don't have the luxury to switch realities by picking up a different comic book, let's work together to make THIS one better by vowing to practice a little tolerance and compassion.  That's ALWAYS a super virtue!
