This new Fraction/Lieber story from the Perry White special could probably go in the touching panels thread, but the details landed these panels here.

Keromaru5 posted:I desperately want Yibbitty to be an obvious Whitley Streiber-style alien whose disguise even Superman can't see through (that or he's just too polite to say anything). I remember reading a Superman/Batman team up from the '70's or something that started out as a pair of aliens turning the superheroes against each other, but it was revealed to be a famous actor who was about to die using a rubber mask and a supersonic jetpack trying to fool Superman and Batman as his last great performance. Superman had figured it out as he knew the planet the dude was claiming to be from was uninhabited and then x-ray visioned the mask. He let Batman in on the secret and they both played along so the guy could die happy. Thinking back about it, I like that Superman only used his x-ray vision because he guessed something was up and would have otherwise taken the alien at his word.

I read it in like a, I wanna say Neal Adams collection or something, Superman recruited Batgirl and Batman recruited Supergirl to help themselves against each other Fake edit: Google Chrome had Superman, Batman and Batgirl in it's dictionary, but not Supergirl.

DC really went in on the "BUT IT WAS THIS GUY IN A RUBBER MASK!" thing back in the day. Like maybe 50% of stories had it. The first Ras al Ghul story, Superman vs. Muhammed Ali, etc. Sorry for spoiling some comics from the 70s.

It was weird because there was a Captain Marvel story in the same issue that had a woman make a pact with actual Satan for weird powers of darkness (as in absence of light darkness) and was only defeated when Mary Marvel brought some of God's radiance from heaven in her cape. It was an odd tonal shift.

I guess that'll happen when your premise inherently includes an Abrahamic prophet.

god's radiance was a flashlight wearing a rubber mask, obviously.

Dear Ira, I read your letter in Strange Tales and really agree with you! The Thing is too weak! He should be clobbering everything in sight like a clobber machine!! I am 9. Will you be my pen pal? I also like Captain Marvel and Bugs Bunny comics. Sincerely, Wade Goodman

The idea (and it worked for decades) was that another comic fan could write you saying "hey, it's really cool you like the same comic as me." The concept of insane people showing up at your doorstep or SWATing you because they disagree with you didn't exist.

I like to think that the sly wink from the elevator operator is because he knows Clark is Superman. He's always going up and not coming down or coming down without having gone up.

What floor do they work on? Like I frequently take the stairs at the office, maybe the security guy who sits by the elevator thinks I'm a demigod?

Dear Billy, How interesting that you wrote the X-men letter column to say that Colossus is the coolest. Too bad you're patently wrong. Ponder that fact while I drive across the country to scream at your mother about how much of a mistake you are. Love, Greg (41)

I had a letter printed in an issue of Sensational Spider-Man when I was a kid and mostly I just got circulars from the kinds of mail-order back-issue shops that thrived in the 90s before online shopping really became a thing everybody did. I actually wound up using them to fill in a few missing back issues I'd been unable to find locally so it was a rousing success for everyone all around.
