Superman has never been crazy about dealing with the supernatural, so I can see him calling in an ally like Kolchak in those types of situations. I wonder what Kolchak would make of working with a Kryptonian, though.

I would suppose that, to him, it would be just another day at the office (of the Chicago Independent News Service). Especially if helping Kal-El earned him membership in the Newshounds!
ReplyDelete"What Is Hidden Within The Krypton Crypt"?
ReplyDeleteMy first guess: that ancient Sith Lord...Darth Kru-El!
Beware of... the Krypton Knight!
DeleteBtw Superman did have an enemy named Kru-El back in the Silver Age, in case you didn't know. One of the Phantom Zone criminals I think; not sure.
DeleteYes, Kru-El is Jor-El's first cousin. Just like how Kal and Kara are first cousins. He was also banished to the Phantom Zone.
DeleteP.S. @ Ross: I wonder if the Nightstalker realizes he and Supes have the same civilian initials.
ReplyDeleteNice catch
DeleteGood points Carycomic and Anons! Just seeing the dynamics between Kolchak and Clark Kent would make for a great story by itself. Clark would certainly be just a little bit more than suspicious of Kolchak's track record. And even with Superman's vulnerability to the occult, he probably wouldn't feel too secure with Kolchak trying to watch his back. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThe way Kolchak's holding that cross is actually a little frightening. Like... they're dealing with a Kryptonian vampire!
ReplyDeleteThis may call for a sequel featuring Supes with Blade.
This blog needs more Superman covers. He has only 220 covers to Batman's 541. It'd take almost a year's worth of covers for him to catch up now.
ReplyDeleteWell, since the blog started as The Brave and The Bold: The Lost Issues (hence the address), Batman had quite a head start with over 300 covers as host.
ReplyDeleteVincenzo:Carl, Who was your source for this? Would a Kryptonian vampire be afraid of a cross, kryptonite, or only a kryptonite cross? More Superman out of his element!! Great cover. Would Kolchak have much to offer in a Batman team up?
ReplyDelete@Det. Tobor: Only if it were the Vampire Batman from the "Red Rain" trilogy.
Delete@Jason Toddman: I was aware of that, yes. He was Superman's blacksheep cousin from Silver Age Kandor. But, here in the Ross-verse, he might be even more villainous as a Sith Lord originally from Krypton's Juru Valley!
Superman: "It's made of silver kryptonite, Mr. Vincenzo. The only substance Kryptonian vampires are vulnerable to!"
Delete@Carycomic: I think Kryptonian vampires were canonically known as trilligs.
