Title: Wish Fulfilment Boy Post by: Permanus on June 19, 2007, 04:49:08 PM Jonathan Morris, a cartoonist and comic book fan who writes a consistently entertaining blog, has an engaging theory about Superboy, and if you want to look at it, it's right here:

I think the parody itself was "Supergoy" in the familiar old school lettering by Ira Schnapp.
Any of you dirty ducks out there know the name of the mag that this appeared in?

"Soupygoy" / Justin Green. 5 p. in Tales of Sex and Death, no. 1 (Apr. 1971). -- Superboy parody Good news, everyone ! Actually found a panel from it !

Thanks - I knew a dirty DOG would know. ;)"Soupygoy" / Justin Green. 5 p. in Tales of Sex and Death, no. 1 (Apr. 1971). -- Superboy parody Title: Re: Wish Fulfilment Boy Post by: jamespup on June 19, 2007, 11:22:08 PM Yeah, wish i had a copy of that one.....I'll have to settle for the Zap and Snatch instead.
And Bobby London's Dirty Duck was top-notch...his Popeye was pretty good too ! Title: Re: Wish Fulfilment Boy Post by: TELLE on June 26, 2007, 03:40:35 AM I thought this thread would be about that story where a bedridden Lana tries to get Superboy to make Clark braver and Superboy flies around Smallville helping sick kids with their wishes.
But now I'm glad it wasn't because I got to see that great Justin Green panel. Green's Binky Brown stories are awesome!
