Do you realize how difficult it was to obtain a copy of this flippin' comic book? I checked Amazon and a 1st printing of this thing is already going to 30 bucks!<br />Anyway, I finally found a 2nd (or possibly 3rd) printing of it at the Hastings in Yukon.<br />The story from which this all stems from isn't even part of the main story in the comic. It's almost like a sidebar story (you know, those stories they print at the back of the book as an afterthought?).<br />So anyway, the whole point that Superman was trying to make (I think) is that he is not an official representative of the government and that the whole "truth, justice and the American way" has risen above the country itself and that he stands for truth and justice for ALL humankind. <br />And besides, he didn't even really do anything that caused all the ruckus. He just attended a government protest in Iran. He didn't speak, didn't act, didn't do anything. He just stood there in the crowd.<br />People need to get a grip. Superman is for all people, not just citizens of the United States. The guy isn't even human, remember?Otter Limitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975093403377963897noreply@blogger.com
