Title: Parasite Post by: TELLE on March 03, 2005, 02:15:47 AM Anyone with a larger collection than mine: I found this list online. Can this really be all of the pre-Crisis Parasite stories?
Action Comics #340 (first story) [August 1966] Action Comics #361 (first story) [March 1968] Action Comics #555 [May 1984] DC Comics Presents #55 [March 1983] Supergirl (second series) #20 [June 1984] Superman (first series) #299 [May 1976] Superman (first series) #369 [March 1982] World's Finest Comics (first series) #247 (first story) [October/November 1977] World's Finest Comics (first series) #270 (first story) [August 1981] Title: Re: Parasite Post by: Lee Semmens on March 03, 2005, 05:12:21 AM The Parasite also appeared in:
Superman #286 (April 1975) Superman #304 (October 1976) World's Finest Comics #246 (August-September 1977) Superman #319 (January 1978) Superman #320 (February 1978) Superman #321 (March 1978) Superman #322 (April 1978) Superman #331 (January 1979) Action Comics #578 (April 1986) That is, apparently, the complete list of his appearances in your list and this one. Title: Re: Parasite Post by: nightwing on March 03, 2005, 08:46:13 AM Off the top of my head, I know Parasite also appeared in Superman vs. Spider-Man 2, the second tabloid-size crossover book (with art by John Buscema).
Probably elsewhere, too. Title: Re: Parasite Post by: The Starchild on March 03, 2005, 12:03:31 PM www.comics.org reports 49 appearances, but some of those are post Crisis and Elsworlds:

I first found him as a kid in the Spider-Man team-up --had no idea who he was. Why not Luthor or Brainiac as a villain? I thought.

Why not Luthor or Brainiac as a villain? I thought. Yeah ... to tell the truth, I would've preferred a team like Brainiac and Doctor Doom over the Parasite. I've always considered Brainiac to be Supes' greatest foe next to Luthor. Title: Re: Parasite Post by: DoctorZero on March 03, 2005, 10:51:24 PM I really liked the original version of the character. The newer version turns me off. I wish they would go back to the first version.
Title: Re: Parasite Post by: TELLE on March 04, 2005, 12:16:14 AM I feel it is my responsibility here to say: "You've obviously come to the right place!" :D
I think they even changed his alter-ego name (although the new name has 2 Ls).

So in other words, I've got a LOT of work to do when I finally get around to writing the Parasite's entry in Supermanica. :shock: Title: Re: Parasite Post by: TELLE on March 06, 2005, 11:40:31 PM Bill, I'd love to help out --already got the ball rolling with the initial entry (that's why I was looking in to complete appearance lists). :D
