Title: Supes vs Cap Post by: TELLE on March 05, 2007, 12:22:53 PM From the wild and woolly blogosphere, a comparison of classic Superman and Capt Marvel covers with striking similarities. Lots of fun:

You know, it's funny, the only fake TV show parodies that I've ever desperately, truly wanted to exist in reality are Christmas specials: for instance, the KISS SAVES CHRISTMAS skit from FAMILY GUY. "Baby eagles...can't take the sound of guitars!" Incidentally, I just got a KISS toothbrush, which plays music when pressure is applied to the bristles. It may be the coolest thing I own. Then there was the Lee Majors thing from SCROOGED where he goes about killing Ninjas that have taken over Santa's workshop with a machine gun. I'd sure as hell buy that.

Many of the parodies from UHF would be worth making into TV shows. Stanley Spadowski's Clubhouse is the kind of kids carnival TV show I wish I had.

Also, why does Superman need a magnifying glass?
Petrophile. I'm definitely making that my new insult de choix. Title: Re: Supes vs Cap Post by: jamespup on March 05, 2007, 08:00:19 PM Ok, Cap may be a petrophile, but what about Commissioner Gordon's taste in shoes here? :

Al Gore... Hey, leave Gor-El alone. On a serious note, I can't get over how colorful and gorgeous Captain Marvel comics were drawn, inked, and colored. Hats off to C.C. Beck and Fawcett.

How do they get away with stuff like that? Title: Re: Supes vs Cap Post by: ShinDangaioh on March 06, 2007, 02:04:29 PM Back then, comics were made for kids and the CCA was in full swing.
Something minor like that would slip under the radar. Title: Re: Supes vs Cap Post by: crispy snax on March 07, 2007, 02:08:34 AM i like the "inspiring the troops" one... captain marvel is there leading the troops into battle which would make a pretty amazing comic... while superman is skipping along arm in arm with sailor boy looking like a cheap rent boy
Title: Re: Supes vs Cap Post by: Shazam! on August 12, 2007, 12:49:22 PM I like leading troops into battle. My Rank has to come from SOMEWHERE doesn't it?
