According to Overstreet, Action Comics 309 was on the stands last week of December, 1963.

Yeah, but isn’t Reed a jerk to just about everyone else.

I remember Nixon being a jerk to Reed Richards in an old FF issue where Magneto was using atlanteans to attack NY.

Earlier in the storyline with Clinton and Cap, there’s the moment where Clinton strips Cap of his US citizenship! “Man Without a Country” – my favorite Mark Waid storyline

There is an issue of Prez, isn’t there?

IIRC, Clinton was a pallbearer at Cap’s funeral when he was thought dead at the start of Waid’s run.

Brilliant theory, O!

Do you have any literature I can read?

Omigod! I just realized: Superman was the “second gunman”! He had to kill Kennedy because the President might give away his secret I.D. if blackmailed over his affair with Marilyn!

And Jack Ruby was probably a disguised Superman Robot.

The Kennedy issue only would’ve come out about a month or so after the assassination, tops. Yeah, it’s cover-dated Feb. 1964, but, of course, they’re two months ahead, putting the issue in December. Unless it was during the time when they were three months ahead, in which case it could pre-date the assassination by a week or two.

I’m surprised they ran the issue after his death. Unless it was already at the printers.

Was that supposed to be Nixon in that Nixon-era Cap comic?

How many superheroes besides Superman and Cap interact with presidents regularly?

I like these new backwards homage quizzes. Unfortunately I keep being beaten to the only answers I know
