Holy shit they really referenced "I Am Curious" on the cover of a Superman comic? I can't believe it

>>86324816
Why are the interesting-looking ones hardly ever on comixology?

Now all it needs is for The Fall to record a fictional soundtrack to it.

I want to see Superman denying people water in at least one movie.

Remember, at this time Superman comics were for kids, even moreso than ever before.

It was a major criticism of DC and was part of the reason they were in dire straits financially. Crisis on Infinite Earths and the subsequent Superman relaunch were a big attempt to "rebrand" the Superman line to fit with the rest of their output.

So essentially the criticism was during the time where everything had to be grimdark for no reason? It's funny because I would kill to have this Superman back.

It was pretty much the same misconceptions we have today, where people say "Marvel characters are realistic and relatable, DC characters are boring and overpowered".

This was a time where you had stuff at Marvel like the Night Gwen Stacy Died, Bill Mantlo's Iron Man and Hulk runs, Howard the Duck, etc. that were kind of redefining what cape comics could be while still appealing to kids. And even though a lot of the same kind of stuff was going on at DC, they just had this stigma because of the Superman line with characters like Krypto and Superboy, the 60's Batman show, Teen Titans, and of course DC's penchant for kooky bait covers like the ones this thread was about.

Also you know how people always say nowadays that DC reboots all the time despite that only happening literally twice? Well before Crisis the meme was that DC had like a thousand Earths you had to keep track of, which obviously was CoIE was meant to address.

So wait, what happens in this one?

>>86332970
(not them)
I remember reading somewhere that this was one of the constant fake-out stories that DC would do in that era where at the end of the story it's revealed to have been all one big practical joke.
Like whenever Superman forces Jimmy Olsen to marry a gorilla.

Yeah, it's a bunch of bullshit.

Supposedly at the time (especially in the early to mid 60's) editors would come up with crazy covers and it was up to the writers to fill in the actual story, which is what lead to stuff that was so crazy the writers would just say "fuck it" and make it an imaginary story/alternate Earth. And yes, some maniacs, one of whom grew up to be Mark Waid, have cataloged literally every single one of these alternate Earths.

I gotta hand it to folks like Jerry Siegel and Otto Binder for being real troopers and working backwards to make these stories, and still manage to fill them with insanely creative stuff.

My god, I can't even fathom the kind of deep lore Ewing could pull out of the silver age if he was with DC.
