After reading her story on Argo City (very similar to the pre-Crisis one), Superman's move to abandon a traumatized girl in an orphanage on an alien planet practically 5 minutes her arrival rises, in...
Thank you! :) The problem is that in the translation they used a very derogatory slur for gay people (probably the most similar term in English would be the fa-word).
Hi everyone!
I wonder if someone could kindly help me here. We have a discussion on an Italian forum about how this strip was translated:...
Thank you! How can we do it? A cut & paste of the more relevant post? A simple link to this discussion? I'm open to any suggestion :)
(by the way, as a newbie I can insert only three images per...
I'm quite new on this community. Should we move the discussion specifically focused on Superman to the forum dedicated to this character?
Comics at the time were usually more reactionary and conservative than other forms of entertainment. For example in the 1966 Mission Impossible regularly featured a black person as an electronics and...
It's official:

Why, thank you. ;)
Actually I never thought about it. It occurred to me when you spoke of "advanced society" and I, being a contrarian, couldn't resist ... :p :p
Yep. And like I said, a quite male-centric one.
I'm referring to the "official" headband, which only the male citizens can wear after they completed their studies (like they explained in Superman No. 352, Oct 1980: "The Mark of a Citizen").
Are you referring to the headband she wore? It was added at the request of the producers of the 1984 Supergirl movie (who then decided to ditch the headband themselves). And it wasn't like there were...
:D
About Krypton as an "advanced" society, I don't know, it seems to me that its earth-1 version was depicted as a quite male-dominated one. I mean, this is the famous scene where Jor-El talks to...
I was reading this excellent Timeline of Earth-1 and there is another appearance of the Super-Teacher which I missed where...
(from Adventure Comics #382, a story written, obviously, by Cary...
Well, you know, in the original version Lois and Lana started to making out immediately after this scene, but then the Comics Code Authority... :p
It's quite interesting. It is very difficult to find (sometimes some copy pops up on Ebay) but there are scans of it on the web.
I think you may have something there... Go on! :D
By the...
Well, Bronze Era stories often referenced Silver Age stories (and often skipping the most "questionable" parts)
For example:
the "infamous" spanking of Lois Lane (from Lois Lane #14 - 1960)...
By the way, I don't know if anyone read the "Bootleg Silver Age Superman". Probably one of the best stories that depicts a real alien Superman....
Wow! A lot of posts to reply to :D
Uh? I never asked for that. (But surely the most problematic and misogynistic was Cary Bates. Maggin was quite progressive for his time).
Never said that....
You are right. I mean post reboot.
And by the way, a lot of his most problematic Bronze Age stories were written by Cary Bates.
Just saying.
Well, obviously I give a pass to Silver Age stories. My major criticism is toward Bronze Age stories, who are supposed to be more "realistic". Really, some of these stories are contemporary with...
Post-Crisis Superman was a way better person of his pre-Crisis counterpart, from a moral and human point of view. The latter was such an example of selfishness and dickery that when people remember...
Yes, but as soon as he calmed down the first thing he should have done was to look for this robot and throw it into the sun so that he could no longer endanger innocent people for its idiotic tests....
The problem is that Kal was supposed to turn the robot into a hunk of junk and feel like a monster because he had had sex with a girl without his consent, not just shrug his shoulders and say "oh...
