Title: Superman's Xmas Office Party! Post by: TELLE on December 15, 2004, 11:41:03 PM Merry Christmas!
From Action Comics 306, November 1963: "The Great Superman Impersonation." This classic 1-page Christmas vignette is the first page of a totally unrelated story about Superman foiling a foreign assassination. Shortly after the kiss, Clark is abducted and feigns amnesia. Later on his knowledge of Lois' lipstick (Peach flavour!) comes in handy. Enjoy! (http://img151.exs.cx/img151/1599/supesxmas6ww.jpg) Title: Re: Superman's Xmas Office Party!

And in that vein, here are some more holiday tales (http://superman.nu/x-mas/)! :s: Title: Re: Superman's Xmas Office Party! Post by: TELLE on December 16, 2004, 07:23:45 PM Wow, that Clark Kent and the orphans tale is a real tear-jerker!
Thanks for posting them. Today is also another comics-related holiday: Beethoven's Birthday http://www.comicsreporter.com/index.php/happy_beethovens_birthday/ Title: Re: Superman's Xmas Office Party!

Love the stories, especially the orphan tale, which I remember from my childhood but haven't read since. This "office party" page is a hoot! Thank goodness you posted the whole page...if you'd left it at just the first panel, I wouldn't have known what to think!!! :shock: Title: Re: Superman's Xmas Office Party! Post by: TELLE on December 17, 2004, 08:02:13 PM Yeah, Perry is coming in kinda low in that panel. These older Superman stories have so many weird or awkward figural compositions! It's what makes them in part a joy to read and wonder over. The entire run of Lois Lane is a Phd thesis in gender theory/women's studies waiting to happen.
Although the concept of career-oriented, investigative Lois and many of her stories are quite feminist, at least for the time. Quite positive! |
