... f constructing convincing humanoid robots, it wasn't long before Superman thought of using that technique to duplicate himself. I reviewed _Superman_ #76's "Mrs. Superman" from June 1952 several months ago, as part of an article comparing Superman and Lois in the fifties to Lucy and Desi. When Superman tells Lois that he would never marry her because it would be unfair to Clark, Lois hatches a scheme to get rid of him. (No, not that way! She wants to marry him off to someone else.) She tries to fix him up with Lorraine Jennings. She invites Clark and Superman to double date! Oh, woe! It's back to the robot workshop for the Man of Steel and soon ...

... 'd be gone. While it took long enough, he finally gets a chance to plot and script an issue. Let's take a look. As you may recall from _Man of Steel_ #76, Simyan and Mokkari, the exiled geneticists from Apokolips, had been hired by Morgan Edge. Now we finally find out why. Is it just me, or is every Superman comic these days about wrapping up some story from at least a year ago? We've seen sequels to a 1996 annual (_Man of Tomorrow_ #11), a 1997 annual (_MOT_ #12), and 1992's _Superman_ #74 (_Superman_ #141). I guess I should be glad Bog used such recent source material from late '97. Anyway, it turns out that Morgan Edge wants to create an "ant ...

... first met Batman: ALL-STAR COMICS #7 [1941] NOTE: Historically, they first met on the radio. [They learned each other's secret identities in SUPERMAN #76 (1952) and began regular team-ups in WORLD'S FINEST COMICS #71 (1954). The pairing of the two was due to the shrinkage in the number of pages per issue.] * Superman first met Captain Marvel: JLA #137 [1976] NOTE: In ALL-STAR SQUADRON #36 (1984), the Superman of Earth-2 first met Captain Marvel. Lex Luthor might have fought Captain Marvel in SHAZAM #15 (1974). * Superman's powers first described as being dependent on a yellow sun: ACTION COMICS #262 [1960] _______________________________________ ...

... It might be a bit more difficult to keep track of the overall continuity. Sure, we might have a few more readers asking, "So did the events in ACTION #764 take place before or after those in SUPERMAN #153?" But wouldn't this be more of a problem for the few readers who actually care that much about the continuity? Granted, I'd be one of the few asking those questions, but I'm more than willing to piece that information together myself -- I don't *need* everything handed to me... To be honest, though, this is a secondary concern to me. The primary reason I'm suggesting such a change is because I think that it would result in a boost in sales. We ...
