Title: Page Nine Post by: Great Rao on July 08, 2004, 08:35:19 PM I just added page 9 (http://superman.nu/tales3/k-metal/?page=9) to the still-unpublished K-Metal story (http://superman.nu/tales3/k-metal/).
This lone page was recently published in Alter Ego #37, along with a fantastic article by Will Murray entitled: "The Kryptonite Crisis - The Secret Origins of the 1940 'K-Metal' Story." Will has done an absolutely amazing amount of research about this story, and I highly recommend this article to everyone. Its importance can not be over stated. The issue is still available via mail order (http://twomorrows.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=55&products_id=242). 1/2006 - Administrator's note: The scan of page nine has temporarily been removed from the site in order to avoid story spoilers :s: Title: Re: K-Metal Page Nine Post by: The Starchild on July 12, 2004, 12:12:13 PM I like his theory that Lois Lane was going to become Superman's "partner" in every sense of the word, including that she would have received Super powers from the K-Metal radiation, thereby becoming the original Superwoman. As he points out, we saw this same story idea later reused in a published dream sequence.
I also never realized that the K-Metal story was actually resolving plot threads that were in previously published tales. The world would be very different had this story been published. |
