Right after my recent blog, I read the story about the passing of Harvey Pekar and it mentioned that his stories contained a lot of grousing. It got me thinking.

In the 1990s Warner Brothers was trying to get a Superman movie off the ground. At one point Kevin Smith wrote a script. At one point Tim Burton was in charge of the project and he wanted Nicolas Cage to be Superman. Seeing the picture, I almost wish that it had been made. Almost.

When Joe wanted to display the crack-up cover for Action Comics #466, he grabbed a spare Comic Book Showcase Frame. Well, we just happened to have one hanging around, but we don’t offer them for sale in the store–until now. Most of you who have noticed the cover have asked about the frame so we’re [...]
