The real interesting part: they're real covers.
That means this is what Superman always was.
This means that Superman has loads of undeserved respect from the comics community. He's not a great hero. He's merely an invincible character who can fly. He's a cunt to people, for real, in the real comics. But it's far worse than that. Superman himself is a bad character and a bad person, but the people who own Superman are even worse people, and far worse than that, they are actual real life human people, not fictional characters.
He was STOLEN FROM HIS CREATORS who had to beg for continued work, working for peanuts, receiving no royalties. The comics company that owns Superman ripped off the creators and kept them from any amount of the money that made their company rich and world renown. There is not a single hint of morality in any part of Superman, not his character and not his existence as a corporate property.
And yet people still talk about Superman as if he was a hero worth paying attention to or respecting. A hero that was stolen, ripped off, derivative, they ripped off Superman so much in their own comics that they even lost the rights to their own ripoffs, they were so concerned with marketing and shilling the shit out of anything Superman that they could get. They made millions off of cheap dumb toys, movies, TV shows, cartoons.
And people SERIOUSLY think that Superman is a character that deserves even a shred of respect? It's like respecting a stolen car that's been driven into a wall, and respecting the thieves who did it. No one should respect Superman. Superman's creators died hating Superman because of how DC ripped them off, and they had the right idea. People who still read Superman comics and talk about Superman are empty and soulless, worse than spergers, though all of them are spergers anyway.
