Superman - not as nice as you might think...

[annwfyn]

I just found this site.

It has some great classic superman comic covers. Featuring Superman the Evil! Superman the Insensitive! Superman the Semi-Abusive Boyfriend!

The site tells me they are all real, although all taken dramatically out of context, which is why the site tries to avoid recounting the story in the comic. If you do that, some of them make sense.

They are, however, wondrously funny. Especially the one where Superman is trying to get Lois Lane executed for the murder of Lana Lang, whilst Batman looks despairing in a corner.

EDIT - bah. I was the last one to find this site. This is old old old news. However, I shall leave this entry here, in case there are others in this world who are also slow and lack internet powerzzzz.

heh. I found that site a year or so ago- The best one is the panel where superman is being spanked by his father and screaming PUNISH ME DADDY- I DESERVE IT

I still like the 'Lois Lane in court' one.

It's the expression on Batman's face that makes me giggle.

Yeah have seen it a while ago also but it does serve as a great view of how comic covers were done in the 'golden age'.

I was just looking through that site a couple of days ago - the propaganda pages are pretty scary in places.

It's a fantastic site, though.

hmm. the address includes the immortal phhrase "superdickery" which is rather suspect for our webteam to notice me looking at .

I'd not seen this site before! :)

Superdickery is brilliant. Although I think my favourite one is still Lois Lane and her 'educated feet'...
