SUPERMAN #336 - A THORNY SUBJECT...


Copyright DC COMICS

To be honest, I'm not 100% certain whether I had this Superman comic or not back in 1979, but I think it's more than likely I did as the cover seems to ring a faint chime in memory's belfry.  The reason I recently bought it though, is because my interest in The Thorn was re-ignited after publishing my Lois Lane cover gallery, so I thought I'd add it to my collection.  (And Curt Swan draws a darned attractive Thorn, let me tell you.)

Anyway, not much for me to add, so let's get to the meat and potatoes - some pretty piccies for you to pore over as you wish (like we all do) that you could pull a fit burd like The Thorn.  (A real-life version obviously; after all, who wants a paper girlfriend?  Unless your name's Russell.  Russell/Rustle - geddit?)

Comments welcome, so get cracking, Crivvies!

    Every time I hear "the sidecar bandits" I keep thinking about the "wet bandits" from Home Alone.

    I've never seen Home Alone, MN - what do the Wet Bandits do?

    Ta for that, CJ. That'll probably be Volume 5, so I'll be buying it soon.

    As you're a Rose & Thorn completist, Kid, did you ever pickup the double-issue team-up of Batman and Rose & Thorn in Brave & Bold issues #188 and #189 - art by Jim Aparo and written by Rose & Thorn creator Robert Kanigher?

    I've definitely got #189, but I'm unsure if I've got #188. I think I have, but couldn't swear to it. Maybe I'll buy it just to be sure.
