  • ...Is this from clippings of the old Brooklyn Eagle newsaper , " NYC's other city "'s own newspaper , just as Abrham * Strus Da District's own Macys' ?????????
  • Wow!  That's a real treasure trove!  Thanks Doc!

     

    Fancy not collecting Curt Swan Superman?  MAAAD I tell you!

  • Great stuff!  I never realized Curt Swan drew the newspaper strip.  Didn't Lois and Clark marry at some point in the newspaper continuity?
  • A history of the Superman newspaper strip, listing storylines, can be found here, at a website called "The Speeding Bullet". DC has put three collections of early dailies online here. I'm reading through them. I think the strip hits its stride somewhere in the second volume.

     

    I felt obliged to pass on reading the strips Doc linked to for copyright reasons, but I glanced at them. They look terrific. They're also a missing link in the history of the Silver Age Superman. As the artist of the newspaper strip, Swan was regularly drawing Superman before he became the main artist on Superman's feature in the Silver Age. Conversely, when Boring's work largely disappeared from the Super-books in the earlier Silver Age, he was actually drawing the newspaper strip.

  • In the "Speeding Bullet" website's numbering, the Clark/Lois marriage began in daily sequence 62 and was undone in sequence 72.

  • ...I think Boring , at least , received a credit on this strip during its run !!!!!
  • ...The above was meant to be " Abraham and Straus , Da District's own Macy's ????????? " .
