Well, I’ve obviously lost my mind! In 2023 I wrote the definitive (that’s what Mark Waid calls it!) unofficial oral history of Superman in the form of Voices from Krypton from Nacelle Books, and this year I co-wrote with Robert Greenberger November’s Superman: The Definitive History from Insight Editions.

In either case, it was an interesting day. For starters, there was a rededication of the 15-foot Superman statue outside the Massaic County Court House — […]
Thursday June 8, 2023: This year marks my third visit to Metropolis, Illinois for the annual Superman Celebration, the first having been in 2018 and the second in 2022. The difference between those and the 2023 trip is that the first was as a fan, the second was for the purpose of research for the […]
