RUMINATIONS: Ah, the first occurrence of Secret Origins Month, wherein I look at the first appearance of a popular character or team. Superman was naturally first up given his status as the “First” superhero, though that distinction is discussed in the episode itself. It is fascinating learning about a lot of the initial ideas and concepts about characters and how they evolved into what they are today. The great thing for me about the Month, though, is that I get a chance to do some Gold and Silver Age comics. I usually prefer to have a comic in front of me when I’m reviewing, which is why I don’t do this stuff as often, but I make an exception for these ones. Gold and Silver Age stuff is rife with goofy writing and art, which were acceptable at the time but have not aged at all and thus provide lots of humor potential.
Secret Origins Month remains a favorite for people, though more and more I’m getting demands for villain origins. It’s probably going to have to happen at some point since I’m running out of popular (or, at least, well-known) superheroes to do the origin stories of. I’ll probably do them eventually, but the honest truth is that I just find heroes more interesting than villains. I don’t really have a “favorite supervillain” or the like when it comes to superhero comics. It’s nice to see certain villains again, but I’m perfectly happy seeing new or different villains challenging the heroes when the opportunity arises.
I like that the first line Superman utters is basically "take me to your leader". How truly befitting his extraterrestial roots!
"Superman is destined to reshape the destiny of a world!" He did indeed!
that was superboy prime, and we dont speak of him anymore
Huh gandalf was right
I dont get why people say Superman is boring
He is a near indestructible alien from a dead planet
Who fights villains like
A short man with the ability to manipulate reality(Mr Mxyzplt/ I spelled it wrong on purpose)
A large immortal rock baby (doomsday)
And the deadly darkseid
But he is a very human character
And just an all around good guy
Because they read The Dark Knight Returns and decided that Superman’s a sell out.
@@HBarnill Frank never got Supes. However the real Superman goes against the government when they are on the wrong side of matters.
Now comes a new enemy, Big Dix!
@@xanderm6090 like electing LEX LUTHOR for president.
@@xanderm6090 Didn't he once renounce his US citizenship because they were assholes?
I love that this first issue paints an image of Superman as a guy who wants to do just the hell he wants, and you can't stop him.
HiperPivociarz the right thing in service of mankind.
13:02 Fun fact: Action Comics #1000 featured a short story by Geoff Johns about the guy Superman hung up on the pole
najhoant
Actually, it was written by Geoff Johns and Richard Donner... the director of the first Superman movie!
...and that’s just another reason why that issue is AWESOME!
@@daelen.cclark awesome dude 😎👍🏻😎
I always found Superman an interesting character, because despite being from another world, he is basically, the most Human Superhero, especially out of DC and the Justice League, and I like that he tends to do his thing, not because of some tragedy, but mostly because it’s right (the explosion of his planet really doesn’t always factor into his motivation), and it raises the nature vs nurture debate. Superman is really Clark Kent’s persona, in contrast to something like Batman, where Bruce Wayne is Batman’s persona.
Which is why man of steel is the worst superman movie
So Golden Age Supes was more Chaotic Good unlike the modern Lawful Good Supes?
What would Golden Age Batman be? Neutral Good maybe?
Maybe.
Sketchy Pluto Well, Golden Age Batman was known to kill people
Society has changed a lot since then as well, even in the US the law wasn't as big a force as it is today. Compared to Golden Age Bats or the Shadow or Zorro he's still a boy scout.
He wasa a socialist power fantasy
The original villanous "Super-Man" looks a lot like Luthor.
They probably decided to reuse that design for Lex Luthor.
@@johnnygyro2295 indeed, you are correct. Elements of the original “Super Man” as he was called was an inspiration for Lex himself.
Actually the "Super-Man" in the story is a victim of the man in the banner.
That's a mad scientist who swindles a bum into being his test subject, the bum gets super powers and that's the Super-Man.
14:42- Well, next issue covered that. The Senator and the businessman were behind the war that Superman was supposed to cover and ended with Superman convincing the two generals to fight each other in a brawl and ended up suing of peace after realizing that they don't know why they even fight in the first place.
Really? Huh, the more you know...
Wait! A clock of suspense? Did Action Comics #1 provide inspiration for Doomsday Clock decades later?
And Doomsday Clock says DC when abbreviated! HOW FAR DOES THIS MADNESS GO?!
Not sure. Since Doctor Manhattan's involved, space is warped and time is bendable...
wait is that a reference
You will believe a man can hop like a bunny.
FeedEgg I've seen heroes that jump and it's not as good as people think. sailor moon, Birdy the mighty ECT. it looks like cool running or almost like floating.
The 40s was a great time for Superman. The radio drama is amazing but few discuss it and the Fleischer cartoons are still my favorite adaptation of Superman.
I like Superman: The Animated Series. And the DCAU in general.
So we owe all of our love and passion to the Superman we cherish so dear to the lowly ant, who someone put two and two together. and BAM!
This is widely considered to be the single most important comic in history
8:00 "Superman didn't fly..." Well what do you expect? Captain Marvel wasn't around to steal from yet.
First Captain Marvel appearance: February 1940, first mention of flight powers: Whiz Comics #5 June 1940
First mention of Superman flying: a Superman radio program. air date: February 1940
@@henkman00Okay, got that one a bit backwards. Fair enough, that's my mistake.
A quick google tells me that Superman first flew in the *comics* in the October of 1943, which is probably where my confusion comes from.
That all said: it should be noted that both of this comic lines (Captain Marvel and Superman) *both* took from each other in their constant struggle to claim the top spot of superhero comics.
Superman, called the first Superhero, also arguably the first Supervillain with that concept.
VGMPlaysstuff he wanted to help people.so no
He's talking about the original concept of the character, that was designed to be a super villain.
The original concept of the character was that Superman was going to be a Weak Livered Pole Cat
Solidus-Skully so that's why they decided to have a Superman villain that has a solar powered villain in the movie?
You wanna know something funny? In the Superman tie-ins to Infinite Crisis, it was shown that during the fight between the main universe Superman and the Golden Age Superman, every time they traded blows, they found themselves living the life of the other (it was a nice concept but led to a dumb resolution). In that story, it showed the JSA fighting in WWII, with main universe Superman filling in for his Golden Age counterpart because of the aforementioned fight, and he originally planned to fly right to Germany and take out Hitler. Only to reveal that the Axis Powers were in fact protected by a magic barrier that the mystics among the JSA were trying to undo.
Superman's method of reigning in lobbyists: Grab him by the collar of his shirt, leap onto a power line and threaten to electrocute him then jump onto a building and dangling him over the edge....why does Superman get to live out the American Dream
snakes3425
You should read how the story goes on. Superman methods do not get any nicer.
force a man to participate in war, etc.
@@Takao0815
No, he does that to the guy funding the lobbyist.
@@help4343 What "no"?
@@Takao0815
No, the man he forces to participate in the war is not the lobbyist.
@@help4343 Now I understand. Yes ambiguous words from me.
Let's go ALL the way back: is Gilgamesh a Superhero?
Possibly. It depends on whether or not you think mythological heroes count...
... yes.
"Sold the rights to Superman for 130$" ARE YOU INSANE?!
that was big money back in the day. nowadays it's at best a low tier paycheck.
No that was still only a $2,000
These kids grew up in poverty
Destruction of private property? So, Man of Steel really went back to it's roots.
to be fair, MoS Superman was thrown or punched through a building most of the time
30s Supes was the precursor to 70s Green Arrow.
SrGurkman 70s green arrow destroyed poor neighborhoods and bridges too?
+Trisket Ha, ha.
TheKeyser94 Zod wasn't the one that destroyed an extremely expensive big rig because it's driver was a prick. Using telephone poles to do so.
14:54 This joke is one of Linkara's greats.
Given the amount of supervillain attacks that happen in the dc universe steel doors would be very commonplace.
Considering the power level of most superhumans in the DC universe, a steel door wouldn't be very effective as a safety measure against supervillains.
@@edvance1030 Well back then, there wasn't that many super threats so really a steel door would work back then.
DC Comics: All your characters are belong to us!
"Those are my sunglasses!" This is what the 9 minutes clock was counting down to? Well worth the wait.
I don't care if people say he's basic, boring, or old news. Superman was the first superhero I was ever introduced to. And to be frank, he ALWAYS WILL BE my favorite superhero. He represents everything a hero should be: brave, compassionate, kind, and a symbol of hope.
Superhero equivalent of the cool-aid man? but linkara superman has wall repairing powers remember?
Only in Superman 4. He never had that power in the comics.
no he doesn't that's bullshit never happen in the comics so doesn't count as canon only as bullshit
Dude it was a joke.
***** I know, wait it's been two months holy shit
Memories in the corners of my mind...
Linkara, I think you still got a few more years’ worth of secret origins to deliver. It’s 2018 now, and i can still name a whole bunch of people popular and/or relevant enough to warrant a review.
DC: Martian Manhunter, Cyborg & the New Teen Titans (he’s now a founding member of the JLA, and the rest a pretty well-known thanks to the cartoon), Batgirl (and possibly Batwoman), Hawk & Dove (they’re slated to appear in the awful-looking Teen Titans live-action series), Plasticman, Black Canary, Hawkmanand Hawkgirl, The Suicide Squad, and of course our old Great-Disaster-Stopping pal The Atom
Marvel: Wolverine, Quicksilver & Scarlet Witch, Vision, Black Panther, The Falcon, Captain Marvel and Carol Danvers (either separately or together), Morbius (he’s getting a movie), Blade, Nick Fury, Iron Fist, The Punisher, The Defenders, Captain Britain (OK, I might be stretching that one), Cloack & Dagger, and Marvel’s very first superhero, the Original Human Torch. On that note, maybe also the All-Winners Squad since they were Marvel’s first super-team.
Just suggesting.
The guy in the corner of the cover is possibly my favourite piece of comic art.
Not enough necksnapping. 7/10.
TIME FOR A POWER WEDGIE!
@@elijahfordsidioticvarietys8770 Captain Underpants!!
Ah, Secret Origins Month. One of my favorite parts of AT4W. I wonder what'll be the ones for 2014. So far, we've done:
Superman, Spider-Man, Batman, X-Men
Wonder Woman, Fantastic Four, Alan Scott (GA Green Lantern), Captain America
Iron Man, Jay Garrick (GA Flash) Teen Titans, Hulk,
Hal Jordan (SA Green Lantern), Hank Pym (Ant-Man), Barry Allen (SA Flash), Thor
Because of the movies though and the resurgence of certain heroes thanks to them, you may end up doing Secret Origins Month a while longer. Maybe, as its timely, and the movies coming next year, maybe you can do the first issues of The Avengers and the Justice League. In addition to that you can perhaps also do Doctor Strange and Aquaman.
Speaking of timely, it's also funny to see this considering that bit a little while back about a pristine copy of Action Comics #1 selling for a whopping $3.2M.
I'm surprised he didn't mention that Zatara is the father of Zatanna.
Bedford Crenshaw
It wasn’t relevant.
Do you think Zatanna will get a secret origin episode?
John Morgan
I assume he will.
And before someone from the nineties rants about how Superman is a boring goody goody character.
Anyone that says that doesn't understand Superman as a character at all.
DUUUUUUUUUUUDE! Though, to be fair, even 90s kids grew up with the image of Christopher Reeve as the canonical Superman. It's really the 2000s when kids were less attached to him.
A physical Marvel
Willie: "SHHH!!! Quiet lad! You want to get sued?"
I LOVE SUPERMAN
16:53 Zatara aka Giovanni "John" Zatara who is better known as one of the guys who trained batman and his better known hot daughter Zatanna Zatara aka Zatanna.
Jeffrey Piatt hes a Mandrake rip off. there were a couple of those including.mister mystic or something like that
"Zatanna Zatara AKA Zatanna"
Hi, I'm James Callanan AKA James
♫Here comes Kal-El, here comes Kal-El, he's gonna save the day!♫
WAIT, Zatanna's father is as old as superman.....OMG.
Not a bad first story for Superman. The alien thing from a planet that was destroyed, his relationship with Lois, his strength, his desire to do good(well a bit extreme but hey), the basic design of his costume, all these have remained the same for all these years. Nice!
Some more trivia, when this story was reprinted in Superman #1, there was an added scene in which Clarke Kent tries to get a job at the Daily Star from George Taylor, and fails to do so, he changes into Superman, spies on George Taylor's office and overhears a lynching. Then Sups arrives just in time to stop the lynching, and the lynch victim informs Superman that he was witness to a murder and that the framed woman was set-up by a nightclub songstress who was motivated by the victim "two-timing" the songstress. From there, Superman arrives at the Songstress' dressing room and claiming he obtained the info that the Songstress is guilty, thanks to the lynch victim, in which the songstress tries to resist to no avail and that is where we arrive at with Superman bounding and gagging the songstress...
CosmoShidan and the murder victim's name was Jack Kennedy.
Yikes.
Back east the Kennedys would have been like the Kardashians are today. John aka Jack would have been 21 at the time of the comic's publishing. So in other words Siegel and Shuster would have been very much aware of who Jack Kennedy was
Whoa, I didn't even know that! Thanks for sharing! :)
Huh, I had no idea Zatara came out with Superman of all people.
If you pause at 4:46, the guy to the left of the cover behind Superman looks like he’s trying to keep the book from collapsing in on itself.
"Superhero equivalent of the Cool-aid Man"
Bwahaha!
16:55 WOW Zatara is as Old as Superman!
If you'd like to see what Supes would look like hopping around town just check out the first couple of Fleischer brothers cartoons from '39. These were made before flight became one of his powers.
8:58 In story explanation, to show off Superman's feat of strength. Plausible real world explanation? The 1930's were a bad time and being a rich politician, perhaps he commissioned a crew to outfit a steel door to fortify his sleeping chambers in an effort to feel safe from those who would rob or kill him.
9:58 The clock was meant to convey to the readers that Superman has only 12 minutes to convince the Governor to pardon the poor woman before she's executed. The clock disappears, not because of a continuity error, but because the Governor has successfully pardoned the woman and the clock is no longer needed.
11:46 Not sure if you were poking fun at the crude penciling, or serious. Either way, the object is a belt.
Trans8010 I disagree with linkara on the clock too. that's a cliche movie scrne when suddey.the clock becomes important and they showcase it's clicking. hoekng that scene last is usually not the whole.movie. after supes convinced the guy it just doesn't matter anymore.
I always assumed that when linkara says that comics are weird its just the old comics but i was reading the most recent nightwing comic and to sneek in to a casino he becomes a stripper
Bat cow that is all.......and the time a cow become thor on that one cover.
That's what they need to try next. Make a movie adaptation of golden age Superman. Set in the 1930s, with the power limitations, the orphanage backstory (explained quickly), and even the types of plots with a well-meaning but sometimes scary-as-fuck Superman just going around and imposing his will when he sees something he doesn't like. I mean _that_ could be the story. He could actually have an arc (for once). They could come up with in-story reasons for him to go from his golden age self to silver age self.
Perhaps after a while, he starts realising how frightening he comes off to others including civilians he’d be rescuing and works on becoming a more well-meaning character. Sort of like DC’s New Frontier showed Batman going from his more intimidating early Pre-Robin Golden Age persona into a less scary character after seeing how terrifying he came off as to a child he was rescuing from a cult.
I dunno, I love villains. I always find myself drawn to heroes that have large and colorful rogues' galleries (thanks to decades of comics history and series, of course). That's just me, though
It's also cool to see what dynamic a superhero has with their rogues gallery. The Flash's are my favorite reason for that particular reason.
12:28 D-Did Linkara just pull a Superman Prime?
One thing I'll say is that that title art is clever and hilarious
11:58 I AM A MAN!!!
I know a certain Japanese super hero that pre-date Superman called Ogon Bat.
Fun Fact: Ogon Bat didn't start out as a manga or some tv show, it started out as a very old form of Japanese story telling called Kamishibai or Paper Theater. It was pretty popular at the time even getting a live action film which again pre-date Superman.
TheKeyser94 Yeah, really old stuff.
4:46 i think hes a velma type, looks like he just found his glasses too
jinkies
4:32 Money was good in the Gread Depression. Well, if you *_had_* *_it_* , that is.
Love the secret origins episodes. Thank you, Linkara. :)
Golden age superman was a tyrant. He would threaten to smash your head in if you didn’t give him the info he wanted or admitted to a crime (which would be inadmissible in court lol)
Remember; this is the same Superman who would one day be beaten to death by Superboy Prime.
Is it just me but at 12:10 Liz looks just like blair butler from attack of the show.
I have to wonder what it would be like if Superman was "revealed" to the world as a baby. Probably would turn out really different if the whole world just realized "SUPER STRONG FLYING SPACE BABY HAS ARRIVED" and reacted to that. I'm sure it's been...poorly addressed before though.
Been waitin' for a rerun of this
7:54- Wait, that's how the comic started? I thought the one from my class' website was broken.
Gilgamesh was the first “superhero” even if the term wasn’t coined back in 4000bc! He was kicking ass with his pal Enkidu before Sups and Herc!
Yay! In fact, the Spider-Man one is one of my favorite episodes
superman is cool
10 years of secret origins month, my favorite time of AT4W
The best use of the "I am a man!!" meme. I do find it funny that the closing ad blurb eventually did come true. Superman *did* reshape the destiny of the world, or at least the world's understanding of what a superhero is. :)
Based on inflation if you wanted a comic to still be priced at ten 1938 cents in 2010 it would cost $1.55.
So yeah, $3.99 is a bit absurd.
The minimum wage in the US in 1938 was 0.25$, which is 4,38$.
Forteachers (to get a medium class and not a minimum wage worker), the average salary for a (white) teacher in 1938 was 1,046$, 20,000$ today. The average salary today is around 69,800$ in rural districts, 74,200$ in suburban districts.
Inflation does not mean everything ^^
I like grape Gatorade too! =D
10 cents in 1938 is about 2 dollars today when accounting for inflation. So it's not like the comic prices went up by THAT much.
So in essence, Hercules is the first superhero. Fascinating :)
+Jake Bryant (JBryant) Actually I think Gilgemesh would be the first, since he was a heroic demi-god battling golums, bulls, ogres and armies. Not to mention that he was a Mesopotamian superhero who was folklore about 7000 years ago. That being the dawn of human civilization and 4000 years before Hercules.
Whoa. How come he doesn't have a comic
Jake Bryant Good question! And it also depends on which version of the myth one is referring to. Especially the story where Gilgamesh leads an army to hold off a siege by the city of Kish, and him almost getting clobbered from behind, and his sidekick Enkidu saving his hide, to Gilgamesh losing his playing ball in the underworld, and Enkidu being the loyal sidekick, going down there to retrieve it.
The way I see it, superheroes are like genres of music. They're very difficult to define and even more difficult to determine when the first examples came about. Think about it. If you're trying to study a genre of music, it's almost impossible to definitively identify when the genre started because there a gajillion subgenera and they all bleed into one another.
When the clock with "9 minutes to go" is discussed there's actually about that much time left in the video. Was the whole video deliberately structured just so he would get to that part with 9 minutes left?
I like this version of Superman. He does the right thing and don't care if anyone hides behind unfair laws. If a innocent life is in danger he will wreck all the private property he needs to save her. But I got to say it would have been more practical to just spring the woman about to be executed and then talk to the governor in the morning. It would also have been more fun to see Supes wreck a prison instead of the governors boring old house.
+Ro Jaws
I dunno, in hindsight, him strong arming that lobbyist could be considered selfish, because it would keep America from doing anything about the Axis Powers. If the lobbyist was successful, America could've help fight the Axis before Pearl Harbor.
***** Well nobody is perfect, not even the guy who dares call himself "Superman".
+GweiTheLeafChild actually he said embroiled with Europe, he never said join allies. hell he could have wanted america to join the axis
Well that was cool to see the very first superman stuff
Holds up surprisingly well!
8:05 Don't worry Linkara, he's just adopting her, so it's fine.
The first third of the Superman movie condensed into a few sentences.
"OH YEAH~!"
Personally I think that the family doesn't have a leg to stand on. The rights were sold legally and fairly for a set price. I admit that it sucks that they could have been multi-millionaires if they didn't sell him but as cruel as it sounds that's just tough luck.
To be fair, would supermans name be as famous as it is now, if they didnt sell?
Oscar Samaniego Far as I know,the Shuster/Siegel estate own 50% but the disputes are still ongoing
So it begins: Secret Oranges in glorious 480p. Wonderful!
It wasn't the Daily Star yet. It was the Evening News in Cleveland.
About walking on electric wires: when birds land on them, and accidentally touch TWO of them... the result is NOT pretty. So yes, you CAN call bullshit on this.
probably because (as far as I'm aware) he doesn't monetize his RUclips channel. Linkara's a capitalist, but that doesn't mean he's greedy. he already has three other websites with monetized videos and his Patreon account, not to mention his merchandise store.
Not sure who you're replying to here, but I do indeed monetize the youtube channel. Multiple streams of revenue help ensure that if one site goes down, I have alternatives available to me to keep me afloat.
@Linkara- this is what happens when I try to make Reply comments on my mobile device. in any case, I apologize for making assumptions.
MarcTaker S'all good. ^_^
+Linkara-AtopTheFourthWall (VOICE AT VOLUME 10) 😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲 SUPER MAN Couldn't Fly?"

Linkara please make a Secret Origins Month playlist
He did.
Actually during WWII, before the Pearl Harbor attacks most Americans wanted to stay out of the war in Europe. The Isolationist movement was strongly against going to war, as many felt Nazi Germany was unstoppable (due primarily to their propaganda which hide the fact that their supposedly mechanized army still relied heavily on horses). Charles Lindbergh was a bigwig of the Isolationist movement and unfortunately believed in the American eugenics movement which Hitler and the Nazis also ascribed to (though Lindbergh would denounce the death camps after the war, his role within the isolation movement and fears he was sympathetic to the Nazis lead him to be rejected from serving in the Army Air corps after Pearl Harbor).
You know I've read the first volume of The Superman Chronicles and let me tell you Linkara Superman does not get better. He once kidnapped a teen to take his place in a football game so he could catch a crooked coach and doesn't give to flips when the teen is actually kidnapped even saying that it was a huge relief off of his shoulders. Declares war on the automobile industry and destroys a auto factory putting who knows how many out of work in the middle of the Great Depression (although I'm not sure if the Great Depression was reflected in the comics at the time). Threaten the lives of assholes multiple times to teach then a lesson as well as endangering people in the process. Like the miner story and if you think ripping off a steel door was bad he destroyed an entire community, he dubbed the slums, so the government would have to make new apartment complexes while forcing the people who lived there out of there homes leavening them homeless for a few weeks and even then I don't think that is how that works. But he's not the only dick, because Lois is a major bitch. While she loves Superman she treats Clark Kent like garbage. She even got him fired so she could cover a story and even drugged him, yes DRUGGED him, so she could take his place to inter view Superman.
That all said there is one story that shows Superman who we all know him today. He buys a bunch of stock from people who were screwed over by greedy oil dealers leaving him penniless. Granted he fixes the oil well so the stocks he owns are good and will leave him a millionaire, but he sells it back to the oil dealers for one million dollars and then destroys the oil rig leaving the dealers broke and with him a million dollars in his pocket... the point is that he helped the people who got screwed over alright.
Personally I see Superman as a fine wine. It gets better with age,
ThatGuyWithTheTripod Funny enough it wasn't until the Fleischer Cartoons that Superman was depicted more heroicly and of course could fly. That isn't to say he wasn't a hero in the comics but he was just too aggressive and even downright an asshole to be called a hero. Also it is telling when early Silver Age Lois is a much better Lois compared to Golden Age Lois but the radio series and Fleischer Cartoons did depict her as less of a bitch and more as a tough competitor. Also are you familiar with the K-Metal story? If they ran with it I think Golden Age Lois would have been way more liked.
ThatGuyWithTheTripod Superman was always good. I don't see his early version as worst. you even mention the intention of what he did. I've read golden age stories. he's gone out of his way to help a single person. think about it. early Superman devouted his whole life to helping everyone. not part time or anything. it was his career. and everything was a means to do it
Lois does respect clark in later issues but she's was more of competition for him but clark was just his disguise but superman was who he was and not his disguise only during the eighties that changed after crisis on infinite earths that reworked his origins and he tried to kill Lois in the silver age
I didn't realize this is where Zatanna's father came from!
Linkara: Man, money was so much better during the Great Depression!
Me: Oh god, he predicted Sgt. Woods!
While Superman has never been one of my favorites out of the big three (Superman, Batman, and Spider-man respectfully) I can appreciate what the character started as well as the impact he's had on the superhero genre as a whole.
I been thinking about what happens when you sell something you created...my heart goes to the creators..but after all that i have seen in northern years like with the Witcher author getting pissy cause the games made much more than he imagine they would...
I say they dont have a leg to stand on one must try to get the best deal possible at first cause you never know how something will rise or fall...and simply not knowing what would happen doesn't change anything.
We all have delt with situations where we did something and unforeseen consequences happen...and we must deal with it. same goes to creators.
All we can do is do whats best for ourselves and read our contracts cause corporations will screw us if possible, like with Moore and watchmen
But in the superman case...yeah they dont got a leg to stand on legally
Superman actually is my favorite superhero.
3:41: I actually DO have a physical copy of Action Comics #1.... Well, sort of. It's a reprint (if it were real, I'd either sell it or put it in a vault), but I honestly couldn't tell the difference.
I got it at Montreal Comic Con this summer. I was walking with my friend when I saw it hanged up at one of the shops. My eyes widened when I saw it. And it was hella cheap! ($10 or $15). I honestly thought I was being pranked. I was still happy to get it, though.
we know its an unwilling woman, why else would she be tied and gagged, Don't Answer That
LOL
I just noticed that when the clock saying nine minutes to go appears in the video there is nine minutes left in the video LOL
where did you get this scan of the comic ive been looking everywhere for good scans of some golden age big name heros and cant find them anywhere
In the pages showing his abilities Superman looks like he is balding in the panel where he outruns a train.
The goon kinda looks like Donald Trump, I love that.
Great Depression was mostly over when this comic came out.
10:08 There's 9 minutes left in the video... shiiiiiiiiit...
is that zatara the father of zatanna?
