Title: Superman Rocks! Post by: Captain Marbles on February 12, 2006, 10:41:48 AM I swear on the Daily Planet I'm not making this up.
Way back in the 1970's, there was a tale of Superman which featured a villain who used a mind control device to make people obey commands given to them via "rock music." I think it was called the "Pied Piper of Metropolis", but I'm not sure, since it's been a while. Anyway, since it did take place in Superman's Bronze Age, would it be possible for us to see it in the Comics Section? Title: Re: Superman Rocks!

I never liked it that much and don't see how it adds anything to the mythos, so I probably won't be adding it to the site any time soon.

Continuity-wise, there is some relevence: Superman witnesses the Daily Planet globe being removed to make room for a TV tower; and Morgan Edge transfers Clark to WGBS and gives him a "roving-reporter" television broadcasting van.
But I don't have the original issue, just the B&W reprints, so I still won't be adding it anytime soon. :) :s: Title: Re: Superman Rocks!
