Holy shit, so Superman married Mrs. Lois Superman and adopted a son, Jimmy Superman?

Did someone call "best thread ever" yet?

And now for some of the best books of ALL TIME (Rainbow Supes included)

I own most of these, and yes, the Legion of Superpets issues are fucking awesome. Also, not that it's not Comet and Beppo, it's Super-Horse and Super-Monkey.

I know that there was one of those Oddball Comics columns on that last one, but I don't know how to find it.

Lois -- you're wearing a Batwoman costume! Does that mean you love Batman and intend to marry him?

Ahahaha, I LOVE how there are two completely seperate "Jimmy turns Monkey" issues. Two different writing staffs came up with the same cornball idea almost to the letter. Unbelievable.

I can't take it! :lol

I'll check out everything on this second page later, but the things on the last one that I enjoyed most...

"SHADES OF SATAN!"
"POSITIVELY NO ADMITTANCE"

but the best is Jimmy as Supes son

Wasn't this the premise of last week's Smallville?

And, because it had to be done eventually...

Slighty off the topic (but this is the forum for it) but I always liked the "checkerboard" design on those old DC covers.

That said, I think "Clark Kent's Super-Brat" is my favorite.

And Lois' "educated feet" reminds me of Jerry "Lightfoot" Flynn! (That one's for the the WCW folks out there.)

Silver/Golden Age > 70s/80s/90s/Now

I find it ever so amusing that DC seems to thrive on killing off their Silver Age characters -- the best ones they had. Hal Jordan, Barry Allen...

More Bat-mite and Mr. Mxyzptlk, please.

shoplifter, do you own any more of these? you got any old legion of super heroes or JLA?

No JLA, I pretty much stick to Action, Adventure (LSH/Supergirl era), Superboy and Superman, with some Jimmys and Loises on the side. Money's been tight lately so I haven't bought so many. I've probably got around 50 or 60 silver age Legions and most of the 80s run as well. I try to stay no earlier than '59 since before that is too pricey for me to afford.

If you search you can find 60's Legion/Actions/Lois/Jimmys for under $10 in really good shape. If you're just interested in reading the stories rather than collecting, I'd advise you to get the archives. Word has it they're considering a Lois or Jimmy archive next year.

on that note, some of my favorite superboy covers (most of which I own):

All covers with Supie being spanked rule. Also any cover with him causing trouble are also wonderful. Panels with any of the Legion of Super-Pets thinking "*choke*" are the best of all time.

I'm still wondering why Bizarro is speaking in perfect English on that cover though.


edit: oh yeah..."Krypto's First Romance" is fucking AWESOME.
