Good Question
“Why would the guy who thought Superman was a bird feel like he had to yell to everyone on the block about it?” - 13langee
(Editor’s note: I’ve always held a grudge against the “It’s a plane!” guy. He’s so quick to correct the first guy, yet he’s totally wrong, too!)

How Superman Serials Crippled The KKK
On June 10, 1946, a Superman radio serial, Clan of the Fiery Cross, began airing across the U.S. The serial was a deliberate attempt on the part of the writers and producers to put a dent in the post-war resurgence of the Ku Klux Klan.
According to DangerousMinds.net, the serial’s sixteen episodes “exposed many of the KKK’s most guarded secrets, including code words and rituals. The Klan relied a great deal on an inscrutable air of menace and mystery, and the Superman serial stripped the Klan of that mystique utterly. Almost overnight, the Klan’s recruitment efforts began drying up completely.”

Go, Read: DC’s Super Dictionary
Back in 1978, The Super Dictionary was a fun way to teach kids new words using context and repetition. Nowadays, it’s a treasure trove of oddly-captioned weirdness. I can only hope I age as gracefully.

Comic Book Reviews: ‘Batman: The Deal’ & ‘Superman: God’s End’
Quell Your New Year’s Neurosis With These Two FREE Comics!
The new year often brings with it some serious soul-searching. Like the mid-year and end-of-the-year soul-searching, this beginning-of-the-year soul-searching is usually pretty depressing. Some folks will tell you to simply ‘snap out of it.’ Take a walk. Pop a pill. Buy a puppy. Not me. Over the years, I’ve found that the best way to stop feeling sorry for myself is to momentarily engage with something far more miserable — like, say, a maudlin movie or a particularly bleak book.
Don’t get me wrong. Human interaction works…sometimes. But other times it’ll leave you feeling far worse than before. That’s why I recommend art. Even at its most grim and gritty, well done art has the power to be life-altering. Inspiring, even.
This morning I had just such an experience with Gerardo Preciado and Daniel Bayliss’ two FREE, unofficial, online comics, Batman: The Deal and Superman: God’s End. Both of these comics are undoubtedly downers, yet both of them also planted the seeds of hope within me.
