I did it! I found a Bizarre Silver Age Comic where Superman’s not a dick at all—unless you count the ridiculous hoops he makes his friends jump through to save his life just so he can cruise in for a…
Previously: The Burn’s point of origin was traced back to the Verubin Nebula, and there’s a Kelpien ship inside broadcasting a distress call. Book wanted to make himself useful to Starfleet, so Saru told him to wait for his moment.…

It’s time for another installment of Bizarre Silver Age Comics, which is quickly becoming something I might as well rename Random Acts of Superdickery. Superman acts like a complete dick in this story—the dude literally changes history so…

It’s time for another installment of Bizarre Silver Age Comics and another comic book story that became world-famous as part of the Superdickery meme: “Jimmy Olsen’s Death-Trick!”, published in July of 1969.
