More Cups from Long Ago



I bought a big bunch of these from a dealer at a SoonerCon ten years ago or more.  I think the copyright date reads "1975." 



The Superman/DC Legend summarized in the text is straight Silver Age glory.




The first cup, Jor-El, and Lara, shows art by King Curt Swan.  I believe it's straight from the "Superman Family" piece that originally appeared on the rear of a 1960s 80-Page Giant:



I can't ID a source for the Ma and Pa Kent images offhand, but it's clear they are from the pencil of George Pap, who was a chief Superboy penciller roughly 1958-1968.  His depictions of the Kents make 'em look like gentle farm folks -- too gentle, I always thought.

From Superboy #85, 1960, here's an example of Papp's take on the characters:



Someday I hope to learn and share more about these 7-11 cups.

See you next time!

Today, April 30, is Walpurgisnacht.

Some Movie Spoofs from the 1980s



Here are some movie spoofs I made up in the 1980s, and their TV Guide synopses.  More recently I dummied up some lobby posters for them.



Ailin’.  In this team-up of Sigourney Weaver and DeForest Kelley, Dr McCoy treats Lieutenant Ripley after her battle with an acid-bleeding life form leaves her critically injured.



Back to the Futura:  A young auto buff finds the only way to get replacement parts for his Ford is via time travel.


Sitar Wars:  When Earth is conquered by villainous HotherHubbardians, Ravi Shankar leads an underground army of India’s greatest musicians to repel the invaders.



Goosebusters:  When an invisible pervert begins terrorizing the women of New York City, vice cops Bill Scurry and Dan Arachnoid run smack into the supernatural.



Spanners:  A newly developed race of mutant, superfast auto repairmen is discovered by a TV reporter.  The film ends in a final showdown in which the loser’s socket set explodes.


While these dummied-up movie images are clumsy and amateurish, you get the general idea.
