If you peel back the translucent sticker on "Adventures of Superman #500," it reveals Jimmy Olsen wearing a sandwichboard sign reading "The End is Near."Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741435186739357719.post-47938561948415831512008-07-24T20:14:00.000-04:002008-07-24T20:14:00.000-04:00I think you may be underestimating my age, my good...I think you may be underestimating my age, my good man. I was born in 1980, making me 4-5-6 during the Super Powers years. Plus my brother is two years older than I am, so he was right there too at the beginning. I am pretty sure I got him as a gift for Christmas, along with Dr. Fate, but I am not 100% sure and I am not going to bust out the home movies to find out. <BR/><BR/>My father would tape both Superfriends and Spider-Man And His Amazing Friends/The Incredible Hulk, so I watched those series (along with others like Thundarr The Barbarian, and MOTU) throughout my childhood, whether they were on TV or not.<BR/><BR/>The more amazing thing to me is that all this did not lead to me reading comics any earlier than I did. How messed up is that?!Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352646370918575626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3741435186739357719.post-75519622362444794492008-07-23T22:25:00.000-04:002008-07-23T22:25:00.000-04:00Y'know, our routes to J'Onn J'Onzz are pretty simi...Y'know, our routes to J'Onn J'Onzz are pretty similar, although I wonder how you ended up with a Super Powers figure? I bought mine new, but figure those were long gone by the time you were coming up.<BR/><BR/>I'll link back to here after Vile Menagerie Week, so I can give it due attention...Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.com
