Superman's Life, as of Action Comics #500
Jan. 6th, 2013 12:56 am![[personal profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
skjamI'm starting college again Monday, so will likely have less time to spend on Scans Daily. Therefore, now is the time to make an extra-large post.Given my own proclivities, I'm sure you're not surprised it's a Superman comic. To be precise, Action Comics #500.
We'll have a glorious 21 pages of a 64 page story, a time capsule of what Superman was like in 1979.

Sep. 8th, 2012 10:31 pmskjamWhat with many of us getting misty-eyed over the loss of the Superman-Lois Lane marriage, I thought I'd present a story that many of you (especially the young'uns) might never have seen.
Back in the day, Superman was so popular that not only did he have two titles (three if you count Superboy) but his girlfriend Lois Lane and pal Jimmy Olsen had their own spotlight series as well. Eventually, however, sales on these ancillary titles dropped enough that DC decided to merge them along with some other characters into one big book entitled "Superman Family."
It kept the numbering of "Jimmy Olsen" , and eventually reached #200. As a celebration of this milestone, the magazine had an extra-long imaginary story, depicting the future marriage anniversary of Clark Kent and Lois Lane.
I've tried to stick as closely as possible to the 1/3rd rule, so extreme choppiness ahead.
( In the far-distant future of 2000 AD, forty-year old women wear hot pants unironically. )
Next time, more public domain!

icon_ukSuperman Family Adventures #1 hit the stands today. Now the first few pages of this #1 appeared in DC's "Free Comic Book Day", so I'm not counting that towards "Pages posted already", it was in a different comic, and one that DC freely distributed.

icon_ukI love it when comics embrace their inner silliness.

icon_ukWell, as my introductory post for DiD Week (Which I don't think we have room left for a tag for I'm afraid), I thought I'd NOT start with the obvious choice, but an example that highlights just about everything I'm looking for in such a scene.
So rather than Batman's chum, I'm opting for Superman's Pal, and from 1995 we find Superman investigating....

The Purple Eyes of Lois Lane
Apr. 16th, 2011 07:49 pmstarwolf_oakleyWith the death of Elizabeth Taylor, people mention her purple eyes. And that reminds me of someone in the DCU who also has purple eyes, at least since the start of SUPERMAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES. Lois Lane.
