I think this is over the page limit? It's only a 7-page story...

[superfangirl1]

Okay. I erase the other scan page.

Terra-man! (That's his name, right? The cowboy with the pegasus?)

Also, i love Luthors op-ed.

[skjam]

You are correct.

[arilou_skiff]

I have fond memories of him becuase he was (a) villain in the first superman comics I read (it was an old swedish paperback featuring a bunch of comics, including as toryline where supes lost his super-strength because it was trasnferred into a young boy, and he could only get it back by thinking about the boy's lynx pet... It was weird)

Anyway Terra Man robbed a train, and it was great.

didn't Jimmy marry a thief in Gorilla City?

[superfangirl1]

Yes. Yes he did.

1) Well, I have to give them points for some of those headlines all saying the same thing while not literally saying the same thing. " Area Man Saves Area" amused me more than it probably should.

2) Jimmy makes a beautiful bride.

3) SUPERMAN, STOP! THAT'S THE MAYOR!

[scelestus]

Is... Superman fighting Zardoz under "Area man saves area?"

[arilou_skiff]

Sort of. He's one of DC's knockof characters. Vardoz or some such?

[icon_uk]

You are unaware of the Zardoz inspired macho man of manliness Vartox? Oh you are in for a treat! :D

He was a recurring character in the 70's and 80's, and yes, deliberately inspired by Sean Connery in Zardoz, and was an alien who had a thing for Lana Lang if I recall correctly.

They relaunched him as part of the New52 as an unexpected sort of recreation

He also showed up in Power Girl's series (back when Power Girl had her own series...).
Pretty sure it took his ridiculousness and just ran off with it.

Always the bride, never the gorilla.

Well, there was that one time... But I digress.

[agharta75]

Jimmy's never been both a bride and a gorilla at the same time?

I'm really surprised. Was that just too much for even DC?

[scorntx]

Clearly Jimmy becoming a gorilla would just be too confusing.

[agharta75]

No, no. He's been a gorilla several times.

[scorntx]

But never a gorilla bride?

Hmm. Superman must be slipping.

[stubbleupdate]

Is this Fraction again?

[scorntx]

Heels with those ankles, Jimmy?
Brave one, you are.
