Why, I do believe it's time for classic Curt Swan comics!
But enough about me, how was your day?
Swan drew neither the cover nor the cover story, but there was no way I could pass up posting either of them.
>>80987342
My day's going okay so far!
>>80987409
Good to hear it!
>>80987342
Minifig, I'mma hide in your thread while the moviefags burn /co/ down. No shelter like Storytime.
>>80990818
That bad, huh?
>>80990841
That bad. Gonna do this in the JSA storytime thread too. Thank god Moviefags don't have an interest in reading comics.
Swan drew all the major stories for this issue, so I'm posting the whole thing.
>>80987407
>Apparently his act never made it big time
Gee. I wonder why.
>>80987502
>>80987487
There are times when it feels like Clark's just doing this shit to amuse himself.
>>80987809
>>80987790
>Pokemon Snap
>>80987839
Well you see Jimmy, it's entirely probable that getting people that close to Gorillas, Tigers and Rhinos just isn't a responsible game preserve tactic.
>>80987864
Or the mob planting non-tame animals, that works too. But that doesn't make this any less of an awful idea.
>>80987997
Oh boy, time for some Old Timey not quite racism. I dunno why, but it always fascinates me. Think my favorite was Pow-Wow Smith's, stereotypical, but strangely self aware.
>>80988008
>Kid sucks at fishing
>BANISH HIM!
>>80991906
It IS fascinating... like Edgar Rice Burroughs' novels, or that one Sherlock Holmes short story where Holmes & Watson talked to a black guy.
>>80988024
>>80988046
>Pueblo indians
>Teepees
Curt. Read a book, I mean goddamn.
>>80992244
Hey, he just drew the story - not even the Grand Comics Database knows who wrote that story. We can only hope DC had more than a few angry letters from some Native Americans.
>>80988195
Okay, Jonathon, I know this goes against a number of instincts of yours, but you've gotta lock your wife in a broom closet.
>>80988234
God damn it Martha.
>>80988299
Jonothon you sly dog.
That's enough of Curt Swan for today...
... Bill Holman was born 113 years ago today...
... John Stanley was born 102 years ago...
... Bernard Krigstein would've been 97 today...
... Werner Klemperer would've been 96...
... as would Ross Martin...
... Mort Drucker is 87...
... William Shatner is 85...
... M. Emmet Walsh is 81...
... Matthew Modine is 57...
... Francesco Quinn would've been 53...
... Keegan-Michael Key is 45...
... Reese Witherspoon is 40...
... Walter Lantz died 22 years ago today...
... and William Hanna died fifteen years ago.
Well, I'm done for today. I'll be back tomorrow, knock on wood, to give you what might just be the last Curt Swan comics for a while, as well as the usual stuff.

Superman, is this really the best way for you to spend your time?
>>80987809
this isn't an accident waiting to happen or anything
>>80989915
Krypto returns from the cat planet, which he left completely void of life, save for trillions of feasting maggots
>>80990972
jeez that was a mess, and did this story have some sort of moral or something going on i feel weird now
Cool.
Thanks, OP.
bumping for others.
>>80988607
Barney Blake is such an oddly familiar name, although not much comes up aside from a television series from the late 40s.
>>80989146
RIP Red Kenton
Also, parallels.
>>80989161
>Argentina
>>80989722
That last panel is so oddly funny to me.
>I'll take this broken roller skate, and I will THROW IT!
>>80989791
That guy REALLY needs to feed that bird.
>>80989964
>>80989993
"Grabby" Gordon and his fellows must be fearless to follow such a trail.
>>80990042
Superboy has quite a bad habit of making people and things appear more powerful/competent than they really are.
>>80991496
What a dick.
>>80991530
Hey, those guys have a way better view of it all!
>>80991655
That's a decent joke.
>>80991707
>Can this really be Superman acting cruel one day, to Jimmy Olsen?
This is barely into the Silver Age. He'll do worse on future covers.
>>80992188
So, did he donate blood? That was done in a Simpsons comic, with a footnote acknowledging it's not a favorable way to lose weight.
>>80992556
>win by nose hair
>>80992983
I think that thought bubble in the lower left panel is pointing towards the wrong guy.
>>81009890
On that note, that panel is just strangely hilarious to me.
>>80993323
How can Pender be so sure that thing wouldn't just fry someone into death? Silver Age physics!
>>80993692
>the typo
I had to look up stationary and stationery just to get it.
>thread's still up
You guys...
>>80992556
>Hey, he just drew the story
Thus, he drew the Teepees.
>>80989161
I like this guy already. He's got panache.
>>80989698
Is he riding the bus riding his horse? Or riding his horse riding the bus?
>>80989964
Just imagine being the poor sap who witnesses Krypto fetching this shit.
>>80989964
Grabby Gordon, serial subway molester.
>>80991633
>Presto! You're in jail!
>>80992188
The way I peeled one more ounce was so simple, it's a laugh!
And then Jimmy was a bulimic.
>>80992556
He looks like Lex with a goddamn Bowtie.
ALRIGHT
WE'RE DOING THIS
WE'RE MAKING IT HAPPEN
THE VERY LAST GOLDEN AGE COMICS BY CURT SWAN
ALL OF THEM
Cool.
>>81019255
>How can superboy teach this greedy farmer a lesson, after falling into that legal trap?
Heat Vision.
>>81019410
I get the feeling shit like this probably messed with Clark's head a lot as a child.
>>81019604
>First panel
Clark's gonna get home, look in the mirror and ask himself "Who am I?"
>>81019635
I think this cover is on Superdickery.com
>>81019803
How many comics can a person buy with 4 bucks?
Even given that in this time period they only charge ten cents.
>>81019825
Is there anything you can't talk Superman into doing?
Like. If somebody told me to dress up in this here cactus, I'd probably stop thinking of him as a Pal pretty quickly.
>>81020105
Back then? 40. Today? 2, and that's if they go through the bargain bin.
>>81019892
>Loco Weed
Is that what the kids are calling it these days?
>>81020214
>>81020204
One of these days, this shit is going to drive Jimmy out of his goddamned mind.
>>81020552
>>81020563
Man, that is some mood whiplash.
>>81022153
>>81021099
Didn't know the Kents were dead in the fifties.
>>81021300
Well here's a familiar feeling.
>>81021440
>>81021604
And now I'll sub-vocalize Jimmy Olsen as Tom Waits for the rest of my life.
>>81022306
They died as part of Superman's backstory - Superman #53 actually shows Pa Kent on his deathbed giving Clark the name of "Superman".

They were dead at the very beginning. Their only appearances pre-Crisis were in Superboy stories.
>>81027456
>Their only appearances pre-Crisis were in Superboy stories.
Not quite; due to time travel, Imaginary Stories, flashbacks and *shudder* Superbaby stories, they sometimes showed up in Action Comics, World's Finest and Superman Family, occasionally adopting Bruce Wayne or Supergirl.
Bamp
