Capeless Superman

Its things like this why I could never bring myself to watch Smallville. Superman without a cape. WTF.

WTF, Google?

Oliver Willis — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 16:40:43 +0000

Google has a logo today in honor of the start of Comic-Con with DC heroes as drawn by (swoon) Jim Lee.

UM.

Lois Lane Statue In Metropolis Illinois

Oliver Willis — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 17:05:37 +0000

I really need to go here

The villain is the economy. Despite being about $70,000 shy of the funding needed to cast a figure in the image of the fictional ‘Daily Planet’ reporter, this town of 6,000 residents says it’s going forward with a ground breaking. Metropolis wants its Lois Lane statue.

…

Very little about Metropolis, Illinois, resembles the metroplex made famous in “Action Comics,” except for the constant presence of Superman. His statue stands 15-feet tall outside the Massac County Courthouse and 50 yards away is the county justice center.

In 1972, DC Comics, the current owner of the character, declared the town the official home for Superman. Since then, it’s residents have fashioned a monument, a museum, and an annual festival around the superhero.

“We’ve had groups from as far away as Japan and Australia,” said Karla Ogle, one of the festival organizers. “There’s a family that comes every year from Canada.”

That is where President Obama posed with Superman, I believe from when he was campaigning for the senate in Illinois.

Action #1 Sells For $317,200

Oliver Willis — Sat, 14 Mar 2009 18:03:20 +0000

In the world of comics, and especially Superman fanatics like me, this is the freaking holy grail.

A rare copy of the first comic book featuring Superman has sold for $317,200 in an Internet auction. The previous owner of Action Comics No. 1 bought it for less than a buck.

It’s one of the highest prices ever paid for a comic book, a likely testament to the volume’s rarity and its excellent condition, said Stephen Fishler, co-owner of the auction site ComicConnect.com and its sister dealership, Metropolis Collectibles.

The winning bid for the 1938 edition, which features Superman lifting a car on its cover, was submitted Friday evening by John Dolmayan, drummer for the rock band System of a Down, according to managers at ComicConnect.com.

Just idle speculation on my part, but I bet if we weren’t in a recession the price would have been way higher.

And we now know how else Joe Shuster paid the bills: Secret Identity: The Fetish Art of Superman’s Co-creator Joe Shuster
