This short Superman spoof from Arunas Eimulis is brief but funny and I love the deliberately awful vintage style, inspired, so it says, by the”Turkish trash movies of the 70s”, a fun way to start the working week: Super M adventures part I – Graffiti vandals from Arunas Eimulis on Vimeo.

(Joanne Siegel in the 1940s and in a Joe Shuster sketch looking very Lois Lane) This has been all over the comic Internet last week, but I couldn’t not at least mention it. Less than two months ago, on February 12th 2011, Joanne Siegel died at age 93. She was the widow of Superman co-creator [...]

Sean Kleefeld points us to this wonderfully rubbish old TV commerical (what is it, 70s?) for “Superman brand Peanut Butter”. Not what you’d call a subtle form of advertising to modern eyes and Sean’s right, that has to be one of the lamest flying-off attempts anyone’s ever done with the Man of Steel! I do [...]

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s … a 5 inch action figure… Adventures of Tiny Superman was the winner of a fan film competition at the 2010 Superman celebration according to the description.

The Cover to Action Comics #894 – not exactly what you were expecting? Writer Paul Cornell has pulled off a bit of a coup. whilst Supes stretches his legs walking across America later this year and leaves Action behind him, Cornell’s having to get creative and explore the Superman universe and particularly Lex Luthor on [...]
