Does it feel a little strange finding it on the internet?

Wonderfully strange.

ME TOO! THIS IS GREAT!

@@Anaris10 Some pop culture trends aged better than others.

I remember it, too.

@@capesword111 I love how heroes would always find solutions to supposedly impossible situations. We never doubted them. Failure didn't happen.

Great Caesar's Ghost! This one took off like a rocket. I never never expected numbers like these.

Yes.

well said.

The same with I.

This one came from a box of my old comics my mother had been storing in her basement for decades. I had no idea they still existed! While visiting the old hometown on sabbatical last year, she gave me the ultimatum to take them with me or she'd finally throw them away. So many priceless treasures in that box. I managed to stuff that box in my old backpack and, at 40 lbs., it was within a pound or two of the allowed weight for checked luggage on the airline.

@@PatrolOfficer161 The epic stories they could cram into a single comic was incredible. I was amazed by all that transpired in The Feud Between Batman and Superman.

Funny you should say that. Wait until you catch the sequel, coming soon. The parallels between it and Jason Aaron's Last Days of Midgard are definitely more than coincidence but what they managed to pack into it took Aaron five issues. I would have been oblivious if I hadn't read Midgard first.

@@fayertreijd919 This is cool.

Great Caesar's Ghost! This one took off like a rocket. I never never expected numbers like these.

For my purposes, the older comics had a lot more dialogue too. When I graduated from Bugs Bunny to the big kid comics, they were 15 cents. I had my introduction at a rummage sale when a lady told me the only comic they had was the Hulk. Current 15 cent cover price but she only charged me 2 cents. And it was a life changer. I was stunned at the amazing adventures I'd been missing out on all that time.

@@DianneElliott-rh7gw There's more to it. His journey into the future continues in a couple of weeks.

@@Outlier999 They played a bit loosely with that word. I suppose long-lived just didn't sound as dramatic. I would have settled for near immortal.

@@vasp99 cool. Do you still have it? Battered copies of old comics are the ones that people enjoyed the most.

@@priendly I have it and recent;y re-read it !

@@vasp99 cool

@@alancarnell2747 Even worse, since he was just zooming through time, he didn't really get 100,000 years of life, just the effects of aging and outliving everyone he knew. He was robbed.

He DID "skip over" 100,000 of those years traveling in the defective time bubble, he didn't LIVE them.

😄My childhood too.

@@dennisanderson3895 Glad to hear those magic algorhythms worked in our favour. Thank you!

@@Prfinity For 100,000 years, he does alright.😎 How old can he get?

@@moodydeb6814 Thank you. Glad you enjoyed this classic story.

@@Leadeshipcoach Thank you dor the kind words. The finale will definitely arrive. I'm committed now. Since I didn't have a physical copy in.my office, I printed it out in color, slipped each page in a plastic protector, and bound them all together with big binder clips. Problem solved. It will be a while though, while I finish up other projects.

Hi, the finale is ready. Finally. The finale will not disappoint people who appreciate this period of comic history.

@@obadiah1045 Thank you so much. Glad to hear you enjoy these. While not the last of Superman, this one and the sequel will be all from him for a while. I need to mix it up and with all the other Superman stories, including the Rock of Ages JLA saga, that's enough for a while. I have 2 early Green Lantern stories coming up from an issue of DC Showcase, Ant-Man and the Wasp up against Egghead from Tales to Astonish. Next in line will be Jack Kirby's Kamandi the Last Boy on Earth # 1. They're already underway. October will be right around the corner by then I'll concentrate on some horror. Not sure what that will be but it will probably include The Phantom Stranger, a favorite from my youth.

@@cliffwoodbury5319 Interesting idea. Not in my skill set though. For some of my students, reading from my collection was their first experience with comics and the visual cues were nor always clear at first. A friend and colleague kept a comic out longer than expected. She told me later that she couldn't get the hang of the cues immediately. Previously, she had only read Japanese comics and that is a whole diffeeent world. For most comic teaders, there is a clear left to right, up amd down system. With audio tracks, most new comic fans will pick that up quite quickly Still, an interesting idea. I am sure someone out there knows how to do it.

@@priendly I always said if I had the skill and or the money I would make or have made a comic book program to review books. So while you could just create audio and or audio action versions of a comic, you could also critique comics in a profesional manor. There are many catigories (story review/book overview/art review.....) but no matter how one wanted to break a comic book down there would be a way to display it... so something like what I discussed and you replied to would be simple....

@@cliffwoodbury5319 Given time, any skill can be learned. I'm still in the process of learning the art of audio editing. Bit by bit. I will never master all of the tricks but I know a lot more than when I began.

@@RobbyJr68 cool!

@@cohenlabe1 Nice. Some things stand out in our memories

@@priendly they sure do 🙂

For me it was a neighbor who had these milk crates full of comics from the space night early fantastic four early Spider-Man even though it wasn't super old when I was growing up in the early 90s

@@eliandervalderen5849 sounds like a sweet little treasure chest

@@jamesholland8057 i don't but I read it online today. I had to know how it resolves. It's insane. So, I don't have the physical copy but I will probably make an audio track and vid for it anyways. The cover is incredible. If I had seen it as a kid in 1970, I would have been counting out my change in a flash.

@@jamesholland8057 Done deal. Definitely doing the next issue. It will take a while but it's coming.

@@priendly thank you.

@@jamesholland8057 It's ready. Finally!

@@priendly Thank you.

@@mlongpre100 🤣horrible. But in my defemse, I wasm't specifically thinking Nixon at the time even though he was the real president back then. I was thinking generic frowny serious man.

Superman's voice should be a little deeper

@@MonteVanVleet A few grey hairs, a tad balding here and there but they can cerrainly move. More like middle aged athletes than old guys

@@skeaneable I'm with you.

@@isaacclark9825 Really. It wasn't so bad for him there, especially at the end. He'd made new friends. He just wasn't in the mood. And the real reason for not kicking back and relaxing was story progression.

@@priendlyI don't think that is the point. There is never any urgency to start a time travel trip 100,000 years into the future. You can start it any time. A two-day delay is not an issue.

@@isaacclark9825 agrred.

That point was made just after the story was published.

@@tray488 I am sure it was. It is a pretty wide hole in the story. And as best as I can tell, the entire point was to make Superman use a time travel device instead of traveling under his own power.

@@Jamesalec63 wow. You know this complex universe well. This is my only encounter with the Time Trapper and I've never heard of the Time Thief before this. There are so many possibilities. It's mind boggling.

Just finished the finale and there is no reason why this shouldn't affect the multiverse. As I scratch my head at the ending, the multiverse has to be connected, whether or not they followed it up with this story at the time.

@@RLucas3000 Hi there. Thanks for the kind words. I might not do requests but I will always at least consider them. I almost choose exclusively from the collection iin my office available to students. I feel obligated to do the next instalment for this story though, for the sake of resolution. I start vacation soon so I'm making a few raw tracks here in my office where the acoustics are better. So far, I have begun Kamandi 1 (Jack Kirby), Tales to Astonish 45, World's Finest with Superman and the Teen Titans from 1971 and the Legion of Super-Heroes adventure from this issue of Action Comics. So, I was reading your list and bam. I have The Avengers Defenders war in a trade paperback in my VIP Zone! But still. That is quite ambitious! That may be more in the league of the great Russian ComicBook Geek. I am not saying no but I can't promise either. Someone should do it for sure. Just not sure I'm the right guy.

@@richardjohnson4052 That's just it. They haven't really outlived their usefulness and they still have plenty of strength but society set them aside as useless prematurely.. It definitely happens.

@@fjccommish 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 As much as I wish I could top that one, there is just no way. Anyone else out there with back in the day jokes?

@@fayertreijd919 I'm not planning on doing this but thanks for turning me onto a pivotal moment in comic history.. Master Comics 21. I am planning on doing a Bulletman and Bulletgirl adventure sometime in the distant future . I printed the story years ago, before I found it simpler and cheaper just to buy things online. There just never seems to be enough time to do everything I'd like.

@@jsl151850b 😅😅😅😅😅

That is fun!

@@Limeaid33 Sorey for the delay. Working on Kamandi right now but I have moved this one up next on the to do list.

It's ready. All questions will be answered.

@@jessmccart3937 Retire or just hang up the flashy costume?

It happens. the finale is finally ready.

@@georogemanns6603 It concludes in the next issue. The story takes.some.crazy twists.

No please or thank you? BOO this MaN!!!

@@DadOfCall No worries. That wasn't a requst as much as an honest question. All the same, I feel this story.must continue, just not right away.

It's on the way. There a few other projects coming first but I will get to it. I have already begun 4 other projects. Two are near completion. I may go ahead and move this one ahead in line. It's a fun read. No spoilers in the meantime.

Everyone who had it still remembers it well.

Of course but this way gave the other old guys a sense of purpose again and revitalized their spirit.

That's his best pal, Jimmy Olsen, the only person with an emergency signal watch to call for help anytime he needs it. Even Lois Lane never had one of those.

@@priendly But he's black isn't he?

@@sspaay Not that I'm aware of. Maybe he is in some tv series I've never seen or more recent comics. He had red hair and often wore a bow tie.

He appears in the Feud Between Batman and Superman.

Jimmy Olsen.

According to commentary from a comic scholar in here, the writer was Leo Dorfman. @scottmcneely1927 knows his stuff.
