So, how does a guy kick off Superman@70 month and celebrate his 500th post at the same time?
Easy! Do what everyone else does when they hit their 500th post: Compile a Greatest Hits Retrospective...only I'll be adding a Superman twist! Just like on those cheesy flashback episodes of TV sit-coms, I'll stroke my chin and look thoughtful while the wavy screen effect transports us back to Superman-themed posts from the previous 22 months of Comic Coverage ("Why, I remember it like it was yesterday....")
Some of the Worst Covers Ever.
But also some of the best.
Cover to Cover: Superboy or Super-Reject?
Beware the Killer Kents!
Poll: Who Should be Bizarro Superman?
Cover to Cover: World's Laziest
Cover to Cover: The Mythadventures of Superman!
YouTube Theatre: Kidder-Free Flying

Tomorrow...new stuff, but for today? A backward glance. Enjoy!

Congrats on a great and successful blog. Up, up and away!

Now's your chance to tell us what you really think about Eddie Berganza. I'm not sure if any of his comics are in my collection.

Oh, and don't forget if you do that you usually run a PG blog here. :)

Hmm, the Comments link on the June 3 post is broken for some reason, so I'll put this here.
The photo of the newsstand with Action Comics #1 for sale is apparently doctored, according to this blog post:
