The story's from 1958. It might be a little bit before they codified that Superman was vulnerable to magic as well as kryptonite. Maybe even a while? I remember Bronze Age stories about Superman and magic, but not really any Mort Weisinger era stories.

The closest I can get to them actually spelling out Superman's weakness to magic was in World's Finest #207, published Nov. 1971, where Dr. Light managed to hypnotize Clark Kent into trying to knock off Superman.



Something about that 'YEW GONNA GIT YOURS THE OLD FASHIONED WAY' makes me smile, especially if I read that in a Hank Hill voice..

In the next issue, Supes has an uncharacteristically Ultraman-like moment. He decides if he isn't resistant to magic, then he's just a dork..



"Hey, what's going on, why is all the data from Comstar 3 all screw- SUPERMAN YOUR rear end IS ON THE GAMMA RAY DETECTOR GET OFF THE loving SATELLITE"

So he heads off very casually (after all this was the era of cosmic-powered Supes who can juggle planets without breaking a sweat) to Earth-2 to beg Doctor Fate to make him invulnerable to magic, which leads to this endearing splash page..



Yeah Supes, lifting North America off the planet is a good way to save everyone

He seems to be scrunching up all the continents on the one side, probably should have distributed those giant magic hooks a little better. Or maybe gotten Earth-2 Superman to push from the back.

Tarantula had a gun that fired a sticky nylon line that he used to swing around. I don't know of any earlier characters who had similar abilities. The pulp Spider (Richard Wentworth) carried a thin, strong silk rope that he sometimes called "the Spider's web," but it was just a rope.

The first thing you should do when you say you want to post something on a semi-daily basis is not post for 6 days.

Anyways, some Thanks, Ken Penders highlights from issues 13-25. The guy doing this skipped issue 24 because in a mere 13 issues of writing, Ken Penders had made 4 about alternate universe sonics. Though he isn't shown in any of these panels, this also introduced a character named Robo-Robotnik, who is an alternate universe Robotnik who turned himself into a robot. He's supposed to be be really important later. The guy who does this also covered a special and the Princess Sally miniseries, though nothing really thread-worthy was in there.

You do realize that the non-Miles Spider-Men figures are the artist imitating the art styles of two different animated TV series, right? If 90's Spidey looks lovely, blame whoever created the stylesheet for him instead.

Edit: I love that "Other dimensions? That explains everything" dialogue.

It's 60's cartoon Spider-Man universe they are in, not 90's.

That was pretty different and ended on a weird cliffhanger as I recall.

Also, in retrospect, it was weird to have "an actor from our world", because that series was before the Raimi films, and there hadn't really been a successful live action Spider-man thing.
