Suddenly, 80 Years Later…

Browsing through my collection for more recommended reading of comics tailored to fans of the Superman Movies I came across this forgotten gem from 1985(!). Presented in standard direct sales format, this unusual collection of tributes to the ‘Fifty Who Made DC great’ was released in celebration of the publishers upcoming 50th anniversary.

Introduced by then-president Jenette Kahn, this refreshingly ad-free special devotes whole pages to everything from the Fleischer Studios to Burt Ward. Among the many Superman contributions (including features on Kenner Toys and Peanut Butter) are the above scans acknowledging the Man Of Steel’s impact on the silver screen. I look forward to the revised digital edition in 2035…
