I just need to know where to get one! This would step up my cosplay game ten fold. No, but seriously this is pretty neat. Probably expensive for the time, but it seems well worth it. I would have wanted to wear mine everywhere.
Superman and the Secret Planet
This labor of Super Love is a wonder piece of work. When I was growing up, this was my Superman until Chris Reeves’ forever took George’s place in my heart. That being said, The Adventures of Superman is still a much beloved show, for me. I was excited to hear about this missing show, […]

Review: Jon Schnepp’s ‘The Death of “Superman Lives”; What Happened?’
So one day, a few years ago, we all woke up to the internet and saw THIS photo of Nick Cage in a Superman suit. I don’t know about you but I was like “What the hell is this!?”, and “Dodged that, faster than a speeding bullet”. You see, I had gotten so used […]
Action Comics #1000!
In one week Action Comics will be hitting issue 1,000! One thousand issues, wow. Now in 2012, someone at DC comics thought it would be a grand idea to restart the numbering at 1. I think if they just kept the numbering but focused on a new version of the multiverse, things would have […]
