My Grudge Against Shazam!: The SuperSteins!

sg
Okay everybody, say it with me now...arrrrgggghhhh!!

I had never seen these SuperSteins before, but thanks to F.O.A.M.er Brian Heiler and his iconic Plaid Stallions blog, I can relive My Grudge Against Shazam! all over again (which Brian even sort of gleefully points out in his post).

I love the design of these babies--the classic pose on one side, with a panel of comic art on the other. Had there been an Aquaman one, odds are it would have been by Jim Aparo, which means I could grown up drinking my Coca-Cola Slurpees out of a cup that had a Jim Aparo Aquaman on it.

I'm sorry, I can't talk about this anymore. Normally this is where I'd thank Brian for the tip, but I need a good cry first...

Yeah, that is one that hurts...

At least Aquaman gets his own darn name on the covers! That's something they can never take away.

Aaron--That does make me feel better.
