Title: Action Comics #1
Post by: AugustWest on March 18, 2004, 04:43:50 pm: This is fascinating. (http://xroads.virginia.edu/%7EUG02/yeung/actioncomics/cover.html) Superman is kind of thuggish. He also has a sloping brow that makes him look like a neanderthal.

Also, DAILY STAR. And "attendants," not "adoptive parents."

I'm not entirely sure I can blame him. Also, I like how the governor is so certain he's being menaced by a madman, mostly because he's actually right -- it's a mark of something that we today can accept the idea of a square-jawed guy in a silly costume marching into the governor's mansion to enforce justice.

Are you talking about the guy on his hands and knees gawkin' or the guy holding his head like it's gonna fall off? 'Cause they're both pretty cool.
