Russ Burlingame's latest interview with J.M. DeMatteis is online at Newsarama.com. Now I really, really have to know who Brigadoom is standing-in for. Another giant, perhaps? My money is on Brimstone.


And check out the picture of young Daniel Burlingame's new duds as he poses for the paparazzi. That kid's got style! Congratulations and early Happy Father's Day, Mr. Burlingame.

Over the weekend, Skeets was given his own page here at Boosterrific.com. I figured that now that he seems to be an active member of the Justice League International (more useful than L-Ron ever was, anyway), the little guy has earned it.

On this day in 1776, the Second Continental Congress appointed the Committee of Five to draft what would become the Declaration of Independence. This is the date of the marriage of British King Henry VIII to Catherine of Aragon; the annulment of the marriage would lead to the English Reformation. This is also the date that Eratosthenes credits as the day of the fall of Troy. Seems like a pretty busy day for a time-traveling policeman.

Today kicks off the 32nd Annual Superman Celebration in Metropolis, Illinois. The event will run throughout the weekend and will feature such guests as Noel Neill (TV's second Lois Lane) and artist Carmine Infantino. Official site information can be found here.

The above image comes from Action Comics #594 (1987), wherein Metropolis celebrates the first post-Crisis on Infinite Earths Superman Day, including the unveiling of a Superman statue with arms akimbo. The "real world" Superman Celebration began in 1978, and the modern statue in the town square was installed in 1993. As of yet, no android duplicate of a rival hero has crashed the annual Illinois event hoping to destroy Superman with a chunk of Kryptonite. As of yet.
