I too translated the Kryptonian into English, and kept a print out of it in the bag behind the board in case I needed to read it again.
Superman/Batman #8, May 2004 - the issue that introduced the new Supergirl, with art by the late Michael Turner.
And yes, I’m that big of a nerd that I actually translated the Kryptonian spoken by Superman and Supergirl. Luckily the Kryptonian alphabet exactly matches English! (It’s pretty simple if you know basic cryptography)
A prediction of things to come, who knew?

Sadly, the ring is on the wrong finger. But this is a slam bang entrance from one of my all time favorite WW2 era characters.

I read this issue so many times in 1981, I can still recite the dialogue from it. A fantastic Star Wars comic.

H A P P Y T W I N P E A K S D A Y ! Diane, 11:30 a.m., February Twenty-fourth. Entering the town of Twin Peaks, five miles south of the Canadian border, twelve miles west of the state line. I’ve never seen so many trees in my life. As W. C. Fields would say, I’d rather be here than Philadelphia. Fifty-four degrees on a slightly overcast day. Weatherman said rain. If you could get paid that kind of money for being wrong sixty percent of the time, it’d beat working. Mileage is seventy-nine thousand three hundred forty-five, gauge is on reserve, riding on fumes here, I’ve got to tank up when I get into town. Remind me to tell you how much that is. Lunch was, uh, six dollars and thirty-one cents at the Lamplighter Inn, that’s on Highway Two near Lewis Fork. That was a tuna fish sandwich on whole wheat, slice of cherry pie, and a cup of coffee. Damn good food. Diane, if you ever get up this way that cherry pie is worth a stop. Okay. Looks like I’ll be meeting up with the, ah, Sheriff Harry S. Truman. Shouldn’t be too hard to remember that. He’ll be at the Calhoun Memorial Hospital. I guess we’re going to go up to intensive care and take a look at that girl that crawled down the railroad tracks off the mountain. When I finish there I’ll be checking into a motel. I’m sure the sheriff will be able to recommend a clean place, reasonably priced. That’s what I need, a clean place, reasonably priced. Oh, Diane. I almost forgot. Got to find out what kind of trees these are, they’re really s o m e t h i n g.
Life in New England right now.
Happy Valentine’s Day!

Each one has been posted individually as well, but I got some requests for the whole group, so here you go!

The best of the Encyclopedia of Pulp Heroes: Audaz.
Audaz. Audaz was created by Messias de Mello and appeared in the Brazilian comic strip “Audaz, O Demolidor” (Gazetinha, 1937-1938); the strip was reprinted in Spain in 1949. Audaz is a gigantic crime-fighting robot controlled and piloted by the brilliant scientist Dr. Blum and his friends Gregor and the child prodigy Jacques Ennes. He takes on a variety of ordinary human criminals, albeit with an occasional Mad Scientist included.
Yes, folks, the first heroic giant robot piloted by humans was not Japanese, but was Brazilian. Not the first giant robot of science fiction—you can find predecessors in the American pulps. But the the first giant robot with human pilots, of the kind that Japanese science fiction later specialized in—that, as far as I’ve been able to tell, was a Brazilian creation. Interesting, especially in that Brazilian science fiction, as a national genre, didn’t tend toward the pulpish until the mid-1930s, so “Audaz, O Demolidor” was quick work.

I have several friends who have passed, and a week doesn't go by when Facebook doesn't remind me of one of them.
