I can hear the brief conversation as they pass:
"Hey, David."
"Hey, Kal."
"Find your cure yet?"
"Nope. Find America yet?"
"Nope...anything interesting up ahead?"
"Nah, just a crooked concert promoter who really shouldn't have made me angry. Anything cool back your way?"
"Just a town full of aliens. I already rousted them."
"OK, then. Good luck getting in touch with the common man."
"Hey, thanks. And good luck avoiding that reporter. I'm married to one, and I've been avoiding her for well over a year now..."
Then Broody Superman can encounter this guy...
...at least at the ends of seasons 4 and 8.
Then Broody Superman can run into Dr. Richard Kimball...
...and architect David Vincent...
...and of course he'll bump into Tod and Buzz on Route 66...
Broody Superman--a Quinn Martin production!! Just don't forget to use that "Lonely Man" theme from the Hulk at the end of every issue...
Nicely done! However, you forgot Bronson from the Then Came Bronson series.

Snell, your theory about DC and its handling of Superman (in regards to their lawsuit with the Siegel clan) is starting to become more and more plausible. You wonder if dull stories like this are designed to make Superman so boring, so marginal...so....NON-SUPERMAN....that the character (possibly) turned over to the Siegels will be "damaged goods" and virtually unmarketable.
It's called "poisoning the well".
If he met Lee Van Cleef as "The Master" (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0086756/) I would buy the DC Archive Edition hardcover. In triplicate.
ReplyDeleteIf Timothy Van Patten shows up, too, than I'm on board, Warren.
ReplyDeleteActually, I have America. It's in the back of my closet somewhere, along with the Superman comics WORTH reading.
ReplyDeleteAww.
ReplyDeleteAll I got is an incomplete, banged up Ontario. I mean, it's something, I guess, but...
