... hey pre-empted the Tennessee Tuxedo cartoons. HYPE The St. Paul Pioneer Press recently named their forty favorite inexpensive summer things to do. At #25 with a bullet was the following entry by staff columnist Jim Walsh: 25. "Best place to read 'The Wyman Weekly': Rice Park, St. Paul, noonish, while watching the beautiful people on lunch break. Writer Bill Tuomala pens his dispatches from the cubicle of his temp job, and his ruminations on office life, music, movies, sports and the out-of-reach women that torture his downwardly mobile life make for some of the freshest 'zine reading around. What started as a free two-page weekly has ...

... ield on his chest. The adult Bizarro had been around for less than a year at this point, having made his debut in "The Battle with Bizarro" (_Action_ #254, Jul 59), but that's still plenty of time to have gotten his look right for the X-Plam story ... especially when you consider that there was a memorable two-part Bizarro story under way in _Action_ that same month ("The World of Bizarros" and "Superman Becomes a Bizarro," _Action_ #263 and 264, Apr and May 60), also illustrated by (if memory serves) Wayne Boring. Lois decides to marry X-Plam, who happily points out that "I'm not invulnerable like Superman! But if you married Superman, you'd di ...

... ASSIC The idea of a Supergirl proved sufficiently popular that the Silver Age Supergirl debuted less than a year later, in May 1959's _Action Comics_ #252, titled "The Supergirl from Krypton" (most recently reprinted in last year's _Giant Superman Annual_ replica edition). Otto Binder again wrote the story, with art by Al Plastino. Superman investigates a rocket crash outside town and is greeted by a young, blonde girl wearing a variation of his costume. Supergirl explains how, when Krypton exploded, a "street of homes" on "a large chunk of the planet" was hurled into space "by sheer luck", complete with air bubble and a food machine. The surviv ...

... intless Cutter scene. Still, there's enough here (including another Peter David special last page shocker that isn't as electrifying as the one in SG #25, but does serve to throw the long-time reader a curveball) to make it entertaining for new and old readers alike. Which, in the long run, makes it more successful than the 'cheaters' on which this issue was patterned. _____________________________________________ End of Section 4 _____________________________________________ SUPER-FAMILY TITLES (cont): -------------------------- SUPERMAN ADVENTURES #34 Aug 1999 $1.99 US/$3.25 CAN "Sanctuary" Writer: Mark Millar Penciller: Mike Manley Inker: ...

... encouragement. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the first appearance of the Silver Age Supergirl, Kara Zor-El. She debuted in _Action Comics_ #252, cover dated May 1959. To commemorate this anniversary, I'll be looking at a pair of stories that celebrated Supergirl's 25th anniversary, _Action Comics_ #555 and _Supergirl_ #20. Eschewing a standard Superman/Supergirl team-up, writer Paul Kupperberg created a "parallel story" using the same villain, Parasite. Each story had the same basic structure: hero saves civilians; hero is shown in his/her secret identity; Parasite attacks hero in his/her secret identity; hero recovers, fi ...

... nks to time travel, there are two answers to that question. Superboy first met Robin when the Boy Wonder travelled back in time in _Adventure Comics_ #253 (1958). In his own time, Robin had already met Superman as part of the Superman/Batman/Robin team, but the Man of Steel had been endangered by a Kryptonite clock, and Batman's teen partner went back to Superboy's era to make certain that this particular timeline would not come to pass. Years later, after meeting Bruce Wayne three times (and Oliver Queen once) and learning they were to become costumed heroes in the future, Superboy subjected himself to hypnosis and wiped the memories of ...
