Read more…Our discussion in Superman's Trials & Tribulations about how often Mort Weisinger used continued stories prompts me to post my (two-part) column from CBG #1527-1527 (Feb 2003) discussing that topic. I've edited it into one column so you can just keep
Read more…As the dust settles on the first round of updates and revamps here at CapCom, and the bloggers/columnists get their own sections, I figured it was a good time to revive my original plan to blog via my vast archive of classic Ask Mr. Silver Age column
Read more…I posed this on the JLA-JSA thread, and am giving it its own post here at the Captain's suggestion:
"I can see a reading of the "Luma Lynai" scene from another direction. Remember, Supergirl is the one who's messing about in Superman's love life a
Read more…I have just one (coverless) copy of Harvey Comics' WARFRONT, which only had four issues but apparently continued numbering from some other title. The featured character is a "combat-happy"-- oops, make that "blast-happy" topkick named "Dynamite Joe."
Read more…After a recommendation by someone on this board, I ordered a copy of "Was Superman Really a Spy?" by Brian Cronin. It's a clever premise for a book, promoted as a National Enquirer tabloid book, but really just highlighting interesting background o
Read more…We've all got a memory, a tale, of that one rare comic book that we saw at a friend's house, at the beach, at the store, or the barber shop.
We have a memory of it, and of looking for it, or asking for it, or trying to trade for it, but never gettin

Actually , I could swear that , when first I checked it and noticed that the references to CBG had not been put into the past tense , that there were more of those references (To CBG as being somet

One famous one celebrated the firing of an editor or manager (I won't bother going into it here.)

By an amazing coincidence, after a considerable hiatus this year, Mr. Silver Age returns in TWO magazines in November!
His final Ask Mr. Silver Age article, planned for CBG #1700, is schedu

See how many of these artist combinations you can guess. I got them all right, but I can't spell all their names. (See if you can figure out why I titled t

Read more…I was a bit leery of talking about the Man of Steel because so much has been written about Kal-El and there are so many experts on him here. But SUPERBOY? Except for his Legion appearances, very little of the Boy of Steel has been reprinted in the la

Read more…I saw this over on Facebook, and thought that I would borrow it for your amusement.
At first, it angered me, but after more and more people laughed at it, I did too.
Enjoy.
