The Dumbest Superman Story I’ve Ever Read!
I was ten years old when this book came out, and I looked like that kid on Superman’s back. I had the floppy red hair and high water jeans. Now I’m bald, but that hair was nice while it lasted.
Maybe I’m a little too harsh with this Superman story that I am reviewing. Even though this cover picture is from 1975, the story that I’m reviewing was originally published in 1947. I always say that we can’t judge old culture by today’s standards, but then I reviewed this Golden Age Superman story by using the somewhat high standards that I had for comic books in the 1970s.
At any rate, I thought that this Superman story was kind of dumb, even when I was ten years old. But it was still fun to read.
What if super hero uses Bulk WhatsApp Blaster to send messages to fans?
That might be dumb (I don’t know anything about the Bulk WhatsApp Blaster), but it’s not as dumb as Superman bragging about a FIST-O-GRAPH!
As I mentioned on your YouTube video, it’s interesting that this story, of all the others that could have been chosen, was deemed worthy of a reprint in one of those over-sized specials they did back in the ’70s. I remember them well. Makes you wonder about all the other stories from the ’40s. Maybe a case can be made for most Superman stories being garbage back then, circa 1940 to 1950 or so.
