Superman and Beta Ray Bill

 

Sure, it's easy to accept a hero from another planet when they have movie star good looks.  What if your savior has a face that only a mother could love?

  1. I love that Nick Cardy cover art from the early to mid 70s. It's no exaggeration to say that I might not be a comics reader today if it wasn't for some of Mr. Cardy's compelling Action Comics covers.

  2. Most people might consider that a half-serious rhetorical question, Ross. But, you still raise a valid point. One that DC themselves tried to answer with that now-classic Elseworlds story arc "The Nail." And the food-for-thought that cooked up is just as valid now as it was then!

  3. And for the sequel? Beta Ray Bill vs. LOBO (the Main Man)!

    1. Didn't Bob Greenwade once request a "movie poster" advertising a live-action Lobo flick written and directed by Stephen King (the Maine Man)?

    2. No, Beta Ray Bill against Metallo: Korbonite against Corben.
