knight_movesRemember how Lex Luthor vowed as a kid to contact a Legion of Supervillains in the future and destroy Superman? Well, now he's remembered that too. Continuity is a funny thing.

Go, Superman statue -- it's now up to you!
Jul. 9th, 2015 12:08 amjkcarrierIn the requests thread, thatnickguy asked about this oddball cover:
I thought I'd go ahead and post a few pages from the story, since (for once) things happen pretty much exactly the way they're shown on the cover. And Elliot S! Maggin's Luthor is always worth posting.
Superman #286, 1975
"The Parasite's Power Play!"
Written by Elliot S! Maggin
Art by Curt Swan & Bob Oksner
(4 2/3 pages out of 14)

perletwoYeah yeah, I know, I'm on a Raven bender lately with her reintroduction in the DCnU. But it was either this or Steph Brown, and that's a hard one to do without letting "toxic" bitterness creep in; besides, Steph's got plenty of boosters here, I figure.
Besides, I was trawling the used bookstore's comic stash today and came across a copy of Baxter paper series New Teen Titans #43, which amounts to a Raven solo story and a good illustration of the things I loved about her. So I've got 8 pages out of a 27-page issue. A note on the art: the credits give the pencils to Eduardo Barreto, but the cover claims - and the DC Database confirms - it's Curt Swan. I'm not a huge Swan fan, and this is serviceable art, but I'd love to see what, say, Gene Colan could've done with this same material; something to keep in the imagination while looking these over, no?
( Are paranormal powers any more difficult to accept than man's sometime cruelty to other men? )

Superman's Life, as of Action Comics #500
Jan. 6th, 2013 12:56 amskjamI'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.

skjamIt's cold and lonely here in Minnesota, so I hope you'll enjoy this!
"World's Finest" was kind of an odd title in the Silver Age. Although it starred both Batman and Superman, it was much more in the Superman "camp", using his artists, editors and writers. This meant that many of the stories tended to use characters and themes that had appeared in the Superman titles, and were behind the times when it came to the Batman side of things. In this case, the story riffs on a story in Superman #181, and adds some Batman.
Five of seventeen pages of what's a fairly unusual story for the Silver Age, plus some extras.
