Someone actually risked their copy and scanned it.

Apparently planets die of old age now.
Oh well, at least he could be hurt, according to this one. He seemed less utterly invincible.

It's also immensly more logical. He can't fly in defiance of Newton's third law or project focused light from eyes with no light source inside them or hear things six miles away before the sound could even have reached him or blow a gale from human-sized lungs...rkolter wrote:Oh well, at least he could be hurt, according to this one.

He simply comes from a high-gravity planet.

I'd always wondered...
Aha, so that's why Supes was destroying a car on the front cover.

How did he find out that nothing less than a bursting shell could pierce his skin? Were there tests?
Scientific tests?!
In which he blew off an appendage or blew open his chest or head with a bursting shell? Did he just run down to his local armoury and ask for a bursting shell to shoot himself with?!
Somebody tell me!!!

Well, there was a scientific explanation of his powers.
You see, ants can lift things bigger than them, and grasshoppers can jump far.
And Superman's physical structure is millions of years more advanced than our own.
The logical connection between these things is obvious! You can create your own superman by leaving some meat out and letting it "advance" for a few weeks. It will be crawling with ants and other bugs, which can lift things bigger than themselves.
Leave it out for millions of years and those bugs will evolve into superman bugs with powers far beyond the mortal bugs of our world that were created 6,000 years ago when God left some clay out in the Garden of Eden. Clay evolves into meat evolves into bugs evolves into superman. I will get this taught in schools and have expensive UN studies back it up to make it official.

I'm glad it got scanned, I had read bits of it before but it's nice to see it in a complete format.
Very revealing about the superhero archetype, too. We've got Superman basically bullying his way through all sorts of liberal fantasies, sneaking around Washington and spying on lobbyists, saving people from death row, beating up abusive husbands and humiliating sexually aggressive men (the implication that those guys would have raped Lois isn't explicit, but they ran her down and kidnapped her). I'm not saying those are liberal fantasies to put any negative connotation on them, mind, just trying to point out that they are a little different from the usual superhero fare of beating up bank robbers--or, as when we did end up embroiled with Europe a few years later--patriotically slugging it out with the "Japs and the Nazis." I'm quite happy to see Supes sock it to wife-beaters, even if he's a little, er, chauvinistic about it like from Goblin's frame up there.
I remember seeing one of those early Superman pages where Superman basically flew around the world, picking up Hitler and Stalin to drag them before the League of Nations which scolded them properly. When you feel that there are problems outside your grasp to fix, it's nice to dream up a man in tights who can cut to the chase and set things right, and for me it's very interesting to watch the sorts of problems writers identify for their heroes to resolve. So this first issue of Superman's an important one to the genre.
