Post by: MatterEaterLad on September 10, 2005, 12:36:10 PM An interesting story with some sweet tones, but I'm not sure why the solidified photon menaces being projected by the TV didn't "melt" through the pavement or the grating that Supes uses to carry Big Bertha away from the scene...I need to have a Hostess Fruit Pie and think about it some more... :wink:

Title: Re: "The PHANTOM HORSEMAN of METROPOLIS!" Post by: Lee Semmens on September 12, 2005, 06:34:17 AM The cover photo was taken by DC production manager Jack Adler on the corner of Park Avenue, New York, and features (left to right) DC staffers Bob Rozakis, Cary Bates, Jack C. Harris, and E. Nelson Bridwell.
The cover art was added later, then it was sent off to the printers. Editor Julius Schwartz, and publisher Carmine Infantino came up with the idea. |
