The...Thanks for the information on the reprint, H. The DC Data Base entry was no help, as it does not list Showcase Presents: Superman 2. Probably due for an update.<br /><br />Might as well mention here that the Supergirl story in Action 273 is part 2 of a fun story in which Kara travels to an Earth like planet and meets the Supergirl of that world, her exact double MARVEL MAID! The story was written by Otto Binder who had to be thinking of Mary Marvel when he wrote it.<br /><br />This was several months before Fantastic Four # 1. I doubt that Marvel Maid would have been called MARVEL Maid had this story been published 2 or 3 years later.Professor Feetlebaumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-69171356954669832182021-06-21T17:37:28.642-04:002021-06-21T17:37:28.642-04:00It's in Showcase Presents: Superman 2, I know ...It's in Showcase Presents: Superman 2, I know that much.<br /><br />Thanks for the assist, Prof. I knew I'd read it but didn't have time to go looking through for it.Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2669531469217423923.post-67725213590820256732021-06-21T16:40:46.728-04:002021-06-21T16:40:46.728-04:00Amazing!

Because of having to deal with Mr. Mxyzptlk, Superman misses a scheduled visit to Smallville Orphanage. Superman decides to teach the imp a lesson and harass HIM! Superman goes into the 5th Dimension and finds out that Mxy is running for mayor.<br /><br />(I should probably put a SPOILER ALERT here)<br /><br /><br />Superman's antics cause Mxyzptlk to lose the election. The imp tries several times to get Superman to say his name backwards, but when Superman finally DOES say NAM...REP...US Nothing happens! Then Superman turns and whispers something so softly that Mxy can't hear ..and disappears. Mxyzptlk can't figure it out.<br /><br />What did Superman whisper to cause him to return to his own dimension? Not "Clark Kent", but his real name, Kal-El (Le Lak).<br /><br />This was the issue that featured the "Pick A New Hairstyle For Linda (Supergirl) Lee" page. <br /><br />By the way, in the Mark Waid story where Superman comes out of the Food 4 Less pushing the shopping cart, he's singing the theme song to the 1960s Superman cartoon show: "It's Superman! Superman! Super Super Superman!).

I'd need to look it up to find the issue number but it may even have the same twist at the end.Hnoreply@blogger.com
