IIRC, the Action#68 whale cover was by Jack Burnley

Murdering Batman is the perfect crime? Hmm. Fun, yes. Perfect? Naw.

You gotta love the look on the whale’s face, too.

That really doesn’t look a good way to lift a whale. Looks sort of painful (for the whale, not Superman).

Of course, now I want to read a comic in which Superman beats the hell out of Goebbels with the Liberty Bell.

that was entertaining.

I’m not going to look at it again b/c it hurt my eyes… but whoever drew that cover of the marriage thing… man… that’s awful.

What? I lift each of those things at least once a week. That’s not weird, right? Right?

Surprised no one has mentioned COIE #7.

A dead cousin is kinda weird.

I don’t understand, how is looking like Leo Sayer a bad thing?

The logo one is horrendous, he looks like Leo Sayer or something.

Note to stephen cade:
One primate’s weirdness is another’s normalcy.

That aside…

The whole concept of Superman getting married is completely bizarre. Then, in a wonderful display of “super-dickery”, he hoists his bride into the air for all to see (including his enemies). Way to keep your identity secret and protect the life of the Earth woman you are supposed to love, Supes. How is this not weird?

I love Shuster (and his ghosts) but man, drawing animals really wasn’t his bag, huh? The size perspective on the whale alone is totally out of whack, that’s gotta be the smallest whale ever.

I do love the whale lifting. And Superman meets Suzie in the issue! Who could ask for anything more?

Note to The Mad Monkey–are you calling Lois–”Weird Stuff”?

Because the list is Superman lifting Weird Stuff

It occurs to me: If no one has ever exploited the orthography-bending potential (sorry, I mean laitnetop gnidneb-yhpargohtro) of a story pitting Zatanna against Mr. Mxyzptlk—well, someone really should.

It may not be weird, but it sure is notable: http://www.coverbrowser.com/image/action-comics/1-1.jpg
