Strange that Superman is absent on these covers.

[hopefuldreamer]

Yes Lily! So glad you are picking this up!

Wait, can I join you but post the Superman issues instead of Action Comics?

I've almost missed twice already.

I didn't know Action Comics were worried Superman wouldn't sell if he was on the cover because the idea of a man in tights flying around would turn people off. So I got my explanation for the lack of Supes on their covers.

Wow... the fear goes that far back, huh?

Day 7​

 

[Alien Anal]

I really adore these old covers. They feel so timeless even while looking very much from an era. The power of Supes.

What if you had a magical superpower and you kept posting even after the film was released. And you got to Action Comics 419, and all of a sudden a Human Target film came out?

That would be so rad.

And it would be awesome if it recreated what may be the most boss intro that any comic character has ever been given:



Here’s to hoping you come by some superpowers and whatever traumatic event you go through to get them isn’t too bad.

 

[hopefuldreamer]

Oh crap... totally forgot!

Hang on...
