Responding to Requests: "Superman: Time and Time Again"

[stig]

So, continuing the thread from This Post, we have the multi-part crossover story "Time and Time Again", which is basically...well, it's very similar to the current situation with Bruce Wayne. But first (Adventures of Superman 476):









(Apologies for the atrocious quality on those first few pages, my scanner is...well, it's a bit of an arsehole at times)

Superman is sent through time in an explosion while fighting generic Terminator-reminiscent anti-hero, the Linear Man, who wants to return Booster Gold to his own era. He goes through most of the scenarios you could think of, and every time gets caught in an explosion that bounces him from past to future. In the mean-while, every issue had a couple of panels dedicated to the sub-plots: Perry White deciding to spend more time with the wife, Jimmy Olsen & Lucy Lane getting interrupted in a make-out session by Jim's wife, the board of LexCorp having a boring circular discussion about Luthor's will, Bibbo getting drunk (what happened to that guy?), and, of course, Lois. As I said in my cut-text, this is probably the first modern-age occasion in which Lois waited for Supes to come home from an adventure while worrying.

I LOVE Clark singing Walk The Dinosaur. So cute XD Quite like Lois as a red-head too.

It seems out of character for Supes...so I like it too!

Dang song is stuck in my head now.

That era Superman liked music. There's a great scene when he was rooming with Jimmy Olsen and talking about music. Clark likes Metallica. Guess his favorite album!

He almost strikes me as a ride the lightning kind of guy (assuming its a favourite Metallica album) but I'm not too sure.

and Justice for All! I remember he and Superboy talking about it in the story where Kon gets his groove back. It's also where we learn that he and Lois go out dancing all night.

[thandrak]

You got it. Apparently, someone actually remembered that by the time Kon came around.

I also liked Lois as a redhead too, and she fit on Clark's redheads with LL initials thing too.
