hehe, id like to see a 1940s internet superman message board, with talk about how superman "stopped being cool when he got too powerful" and that "Ultra-humanite was RUINED in his last story, Luthor is just a cheap imitation!"
in the words of unca cheeks "im just sayin thats all"
A cute "what if," except that in the 40s the average comic reader was probably under 12, after which they
moved on, something fans of today are simply unable to do.
Editors of the time assumed their readership turned over every 7 years, and I'm betting they were right. Today's publishers cater to 20- and 30-something true believers, which certainly guarantees an audience (if a small one), but it also guarantees you can never do anything daring or creative without generating a firestorm of protest from an army of armchair quarterbacks.
