Superman Through the Ages! Forum

Here is a full story (most were just one page gags that ran in the Superman related books) where Super-Turtle meets Superboy.

:lol:

The look on Superboys face at the end there is great.

I've never heard of Super-Turtle. Was that just a series of jokes or did it amount to more?

It was one page gag comcis between stories. He appeared a lot actually. But nearly all are solo tales.

Here is every book ever with Super-Turtle!

Thanks for the information Super Monkey.

I have fond memories of Super Turtle.  He though he was a filler his adventures were fun and interesting.

I can't say I liked Superturtle much...  I just didn't find him funny - or funny most of the time.  At the time, I wished they'd simply give me more of the mag - like, I hated the matchbox (correct brand here?) ads, ect...

Be sure to visit my site on October 10th - Special gallery will open in honor of Christopher Reeve!

I guess this means Super-Turtle gets his own entry in the Supermanica, if he hasn't got one already!

Yay, more super-pets!

Let's wait until he gets a TPB or an Archive.
