80pg Giant Superman #11 comic book. Featuring The Greatest Superman-Luthor Duels! The yellow cover is broken into five panels, each showing a scene from a different story

Other than golden age Fawcetts, I spent most of my adult life collecting silver age Marvel. When I started buying again a few years ago I shifted to silver age DC, mostly Superman-related books. Pure joy. This came from the PC of Dave Cockrum! 🤯

Cover for DC Comic The Atom and Hawkman #40. 12¢. Subtitle is THE TITAN AND THE FURY Super melodramatic art where a looming Hawkman stands in the rain with a dead or unconscious bird in one hand and a similarly hors de combat Atom in the other. It’s a weird downer, like he’s contemplating all the horror of the world

Today’s #clzshake - Atom and Hawkman #40, Jan 1969 - cover by Joe Kubert Came across this weird little series ages ago in a back issue box and bought a few issues. Only ran for 7 issues - they team up in about half, the rest have them in separate stories.

Cover for Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #82, January 1965. In a wrestling ring, Jimmy in green tights is atop Superman, twisting his right ankle. Superman wails in pain and beats his fists on the mat. Lois, Perry, and others look on

Today’s #clzshake is good old Jimmy Olsen. I guess it’s not surprising how many covers in this run have Jimmy being a dick to Superman, or vice versa. A testament to the simmering hostility and rage that underpins their dynamic. #clzcomics #superman #silveragedc

Comic book cover for Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #78. Cover price 12¢. Title is THE REVENGE OF JIMMY OLSEN!” Jimmy has orange hair and freckles. He wears a green suit and red bow tie. He stands in a spotlight onstage before an audience of gangsters. He is using a standee of Superman to demonstrate how Superman is really Clark Kent

The same comic from picture 1, the cover has been lifted to show another identical identical cover beneath

My silver age DC collection is puny but I love it. Here’s a rare double cover, I don’t have many of those.

What weapon could be more over the top than the planet earth?! Probably based on a true story. Don’t own this one, but wish I did. #comicbooksky #comicsky #comicbooks #thespectre #silveragedc #dccomics

I don’t have many silver age books in the collection. Here’s Worlds Finest from 1966. I always like evil versions of heroes. Pencils by the great Curt Swan and inks from George Klein.

In a comic panel Superman, surrounded by a green jungle, furrows his brow in thought. He says, "My great loves have all had the initials L.L.! Lois Lane, Lana Lang, Lori Lemaris, Lex Luthor...am I just attracted to people with those initials? What would you even call that? Let's see, words that deal with words, like dictionary, come from the Latin dicere, meaning to say! That comes from the proto-indo-european root Deik, meaning to show! Like how initials show a name! So perhaps that's the correct word! A deik-sexual! Yes, I am a deiksexu-- oh wait, no, I hear it now. I mean, Batman's deik is nice but I like Lois too." A caption reads "A Kilowog-core Edit."

Do ya' leik the deik? I'm sure ya' do! We're all just a buncha deik leikers here!

Three edited comic panels. In the first, a giant Krypto dives into a lake, upsetting boats and sending a wave toward a lakehouse with beachgoers. Someone shouts "Help!" A beachgoer says, "Kommie Krypto is sinking our unnecessarily luxurious boats and flooding our opulent property!" In the second panel, a caption reads, "He's off-leash and unlicensed! A Kanine Kommie! Krypto goes after a blimp that reads "Capitalism is the best!" and is saying "Consume" in a robotic tone over and over. Superboy flies by and thinks, "Kommie Krypto is destroying propaganda! How will the market survive?" In the final panel Krypto is using his X-Ray vision to destroy a military base. Krypto thinks, "Goodbye and good riddance, military industrial complex!" Someone in the base says, "If Kommie Krypto burns our military base, how will we oppress others to make our capitalists more profit? Woe!" A caption reads "A Kilowog-core Edit".

Of course Krypto's a communist, he's a good dog!

Four edited comic panels.telling the story of Aquaman meeting a blonde woman who looks just like him in an identical costume. After sounding like an obsessed stalker, Aquaman makes an excuse that a ship needs his help. Incensed, she goes off to sink the ship, but ends up meeting a tentacle monster and falling in love with its tentacles instead. A caption reads, "A Kilowog-core Edit".

Sometimes I just start editin' an' let the story take me where it wants ta' take me. This is one a' those times.

In a comic panel a scientist looks with frustration at a gem and a lump of putty both in a red beam fired from a green machine. Superboy looks back over his shoulder as he opens the door to leave. A caption reads, "After using the strange ray again--" The scientist says, "The duplicate jewel also came out wrong! It's melting like ice! My... my invention is a failure!" Superboy says, "Too bad, professor! Well, I'll be on my way!" A caption reads, "Good Grodd, Superboy, he still managed to make a duplicator ray that creates matter! Show some appropriate awe!" Another caption reads "A Kilowog-core Edit".

That ain't how it works, poozers! Ya' gotta keep tryin'! An' sometimes ya' find what ya' weren't lookin' for!

Three comic panels are captioned "The left asked for solidarity, but in liberal households across the USA..." Superboy, in his secret identity as young Clark Kent, rises from a chair in his bedroom. A full moon shines through the window. Clark says, "I--I suddenly feel so strange-- so different..." In the next panel he smirks sinisterly and says, "It's as if I'm changing-- changing into another person! I don't want to be good and help people anymore..." In the final panel, he smiles an open-mouthed, evil smile and says, "I want to do the opposite... can't help myself..." A caption reads "A Kilowog-core Edit"

Th' dialogue is original, I just changed the caption and touched up the old art.
