While I’m sure that most of you reading this won’t actually find 40 new bits of info about the Man of Steel here, there are still a few things that might be something you were unaware of. For instance, the following is news to me, and is something I’d love to get my hands on.
6. Dogs and midgets play Superman. An ill-fated kids show, The Adventures of Superpup, was shot in 1958 on George Reeves’ The Adventures of Superman set. Featuring little people in doggie costumes, it revolved around a pooch reporter named Bark Bent, who, via his alter ego Superpup, spent much of his time saving Pamela Poodle from the evil Professor Sheepdip. Bark’s newspaper boss was Perry Bite and coincidentally, they worked at The Daily Bugle, which, as every comic-book junkie knows, is actually the newspaper that employs Peter Parker, a k a Spider-Man.
I’ve always wondered why they didn’t call it the Daily Beagle.
I need to see this.
I’ll try and pic u up a copy at San Diego.
I’ll bet you didn’t know this, but Spider-Man came about a few YEARS after SuperPup! So, SuperPup didn’t “steal” The Daily Bugle, SPIDER-MAN did! :)
