SDCC Meetup!

This horse is angry.

Comet is back, and he's pissed.



From Adventure Comics #343 (April 1966, "The Evil Hand of the Luck Lords!" Comet and the other Super-Pets have just saved everyone's ass.

Like a Zen Koan.

I had this conversation with a six year old child yesterday:

"Superboy grows up to be Superman, right?" she asks.
"Yep."
"And Supergirl grows up to be SuperLady?"
"Superwoman."
"So where are the Superwoman comics?"

To this I have no answer.
