How Many Super Videos Have YOU Seen?

That's what this article from the February 29, 1988 issue of Amazing Heroes is all about.  Of course, a few more titles have appeared since then!

In Atom Man vs Superman, I love the weird accent that Lyle Talbot uses under the Atom Man helmet.  He imbues "I will destroy ... Soooperrr-mannn!" with such cheesy, delicious menace!
And don't you love the Electrolux vacuum-cleaner disintegrator used by the Mole Men?

Yes, I have seen both Super Pup and the Superboy pilot.
And the Ruby-Spears cartoons have been released on video.

Helen Slater was beautiful, tentative, charming, and resolute as Supergirl.  Too bad the movie STINKS!

What are your favorite Super Videos?

She only told me it was "a man."  But I think it's an alien invader!
Like this guy.

A few years later, our youngest came up with the following gem:
She was almost three.  She assured me this was Batman.

What do you think?  Are my kids amazing abstract artist, or literalists who saw things no adult can ever encounter ... and live!???
