He was a farm boy growing up, his powers didn't start to kick in until he was a mid-teen back then, so I can see Superman having some muscles. But I agree, not even close to body builder level.
I loved this story line. A series of back-up stories with different heroes that lead to the full issue finale. I hadn't seen that done before so did not expect the finale to be a full issue long. It was a great set-up that paid off at the end.
I also trust that if a book is on a subject that is inappropriate for kids that age, the librarian will move it to a section where the book is more age appropriate. "You will learn about this in school in 3 years, that is when you can check out this book" is not unreasonable to me.
I remember that Hulk issue. I had the 3-part Marvel Premier that introduced 3-D Man, and then learned about him returning in this issue of Hulk which I had to track down.
Reading this, I think that I agree. I am looking at the DC and Marvel mini-series, and think that format could work for Doctor Who as well. Some overarching story that drives the individual episodes, everything building to the conclusion at the end of the season (but NOT a big finale like before).
I've had the same email address since 1993 when I got a Unix shell account to replace my being deactivated college account. I also had a different account from 1996 - 2023 when then that ISP went out of business.
I have no idea which episode it was, but apparently I watched it when I was in kindergarten. I was 5 in 1969 and asked what the big deal was when watching the moon landing since we went to other planets on Star Trek.
I have also seen this done by making the woman fatter. Not chubby like Squirrel Girl became (and thus a more realistic body shape), I mean outright fat. Amanda Waller in the comics fat who was wider than she was tall (she could have given Kingpin a run for his money in body shape at one point).
