Supertramp

As originally presented, Supergirl was so sweet and lovable that her cousin wished he could marry her.

“Lovable” isn’t how Superman thinks of the updated Supergirl. She’s a wild, drunk party girl.

This trailer for the new movie features Blondie’s ‘Call Me’.

Another trailer has Jimmy Ruffin’s ‘What Becomes of the Brokenhearted’.

Rick James’ ‘Superfreak’ seems a likely song selection, but when the credits roll this one from Donovan would be my pick.

Cover Charge

In 2009, original comic book art dealer Mike “Romitaman” Burkey offered this page to me for only $35,000. It’s the cover to Tales of Suspense #93, the first issue of that title I bought as a kid.

The timing for such an expensive investment wasn’t good, however, as I would soon be facing college expenses. So, I had to decline the offer.

What is the piece worth today? I said “only” $35,000, because on May 8 it sold on Heritage Auctions for $90,625.
