“Just a Reminder,” is a feature when we look back at comic book history to remind people of the actual comic book history in the midst of whatever current comic book discussion is happening.
One of the funniest approaches to old comic books was the concept of “Superdickery,” which examined old Superman comic book covers, and highlighted the ones where Superman was acting like a jerk on them, while pretending as though the actions on the covers were Superman’s ACTUAL actions, and not explained inside the comic book to show how Superman wasn’t ACTUALLY the jerk that he appeared to be on the cover. You see, back in the days when comic books were impulse purchases that you would buy at the local drugstore or corner store, an engaging cover was a huge deal (Superman editor Mort Weisinger would actively seek out cover ideas from young readers as to what they would be interested in), and covers where Superman is acting like a total jerk was always a good eyecatcher. “Wait, Superman is being cruel as heck to Jimmy Olsen on this cover! What’s up with that? I guess I need to buy this comic to see how they explain THIS one!”
