SUPERMOBILE (http://stta2.mulu.nu/supermobile/)!! ... because we just had to. Title: Re: It's a Bird, It's a Plane... Post by: Permanus on February 11, 2007, 04:49:16 PM For me, the high point is the Hostess cupcake ad, and its interesting bit of trivia that there is a "Fur Plaza" in Gotham City!

It also talks of Kandor, which everyone has heard about but few have seen. Title: Re: It's a Bird, It's a Plane... Post by: jamespup on February 11, 2007, 06:21:31 PM That's giving it to her on the old chinchilla !!!!!

Title: Re: It's a Bird, It's a Plane... Post by: Michel Weisnor on February 12, 2007, 11:16:18 AM AMAZO hulking over Superman caught me off guard. I never realized how imposing AMAZO was drawn.
So tell me, was Super Diary used before this adventure or any time afterwards? Title: Re: It's a Bird, It's a Plane... Post by: Great Rao on February 12, 2007, 01:24:44 PM AMAZO hulking over Superman caught me off guard. I never realized how imposing AMAZO was drawn. So tell me, was Super Diary used before this adventure or any time afterwards? It was a staple and showed up on the very first page of the very first story to ever show the Fortress of Solitude. Maggin used it too, and it also had an appearance the 1998 Weisinger tribute story. Browse through the onlines comics on this site and you'll find it in a bunch of places.

Title: Re: It's a Bird, It's a Plane... Post by: TELLE on February 16, 2007, 07:57:20 PM I had a little toy of it as a kid. I have one now --found it in a thrift store a few years ago. One of the few Superman collectibles I have. I bought it because the ads for the those superhero vehicles always struck me as slightly ludicrous --I always thought, why does Superman need a car???? When I read those Amazo stories years later I thought they did a credible job of cramming the product placement into continuity. Not as dumb as the Spideycar. I remember Capt. Marvel had a car as well, but did Wonder Woman have a van? Title: Re: It's a Bird, It's a Plane... Post by: jamespup on February 16, 2007, 08:40:02 PM I know that Homer had an Odyssey
Title: Re: It's a Bird, It's a Plane... Post by: Super Monkey on February 16, 2007, 08:44:10 PM There were two versions, but the one in the story was my favorite. Here is the other one: http://www.moviepoopshoot.com/comics101/images/2005/aug31/superpowers.jpg
Here are the other Superman related "hotwheels/matchbox" style cars: http://nightwing.supermanfan.net/oddities/Corgi.gif Title: Re: It's a Bird, It's a Plane... Post by: jezor on February 27, 2007, 03:16:18 PM I had this issue (and the toy as well, which is somewhere in my house, I hope), but never got the subsequent one. Please upload it--I wanna know the rest of the story! :) {Prof. Jonathan}
