Superman Evolves! (Until 1983)

It's been more than a decade since I stopped buying new Superman comics.  Frankly, I felt dicked around as a reader by folks who were chasing ephemeral boss dictates or demographic phantoms than seeking to entertain and/or inspire people who wanted to read about Truth, Justice, and the American Way.

This article is from Comics Collector #1, dated Spring 1983.  It's a fine survey, with plenty of clipped-out figure illos, of the progression of the Man of Steel from radical strongman to beloved institution, to "old hat" seeking relevance.







See you Monday.  Have you got any comments on Superman's Evo/Devo-lutions?
