[edit] Location of Smallville
A map of Smallville appeared in a New Adventures of Superboy issue, either #14 or #24. The letters page to Adventure#283 stated Smallville was on the East Coast.
- I believe Mark Gruenwald's Amazing World of DC Comics article in issue @14 placed Smallville in Maryland, near Metropolis in Delaware. I also saw (but no longer have) a map published in the newspaper strip of Super Friends (was it World's Greatest Heroes?) showing the East Coast DC cities. I believe E. Nelson Bridwell wrote that.
- The Kansas reference, I believe, was started by John Byrne, baased on the well publicised fact that the Salkind movie of Superman was filmed in that state.
- A map of Metropolis published in a 1980's Legion of Super Heroes placed Smallville in upstate New York. Can';t cite the issue at the moment. I believe that it was pre-Man of Steel, but I'm not certain. Icarus 23 20:17, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] I've urged a merge
There is an Earth Prime Superboy article that I believe should be merged into this article. There is some duplication between these articles, but this Superboy article is more comprehensive and the random user will be more likely to hit this page than one entitled Earth Prime Superboy. The additional information in the EP Superboy article can and should be incorporated into this article. Madman 19:54, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

- Agreed. Kusonaga 10:04, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

- I wonder if a separate page for the Earth Prime Superboy might eventually be warranted, considering that there are hints that he will remain as a DC Universe supervillain after the Infinite Crisis series is over. Best to wait and see what happens, though, of course. Kaijan 01:48, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

- If he does get his own article, it should be called Superboy-Prime. --DrBat 01:55, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Superboy litigation
hey can someone point me to some reports on the superboy litigation besides newsarama? --Exvicious 23:51, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Spoiler alert!
HEY! A *Spoiler-Alert* should be made, about the death of superboy!!! I am not sure how to do this properly, and I am too lazy to find out how (sorry) but I think it is a necessity. Thalleck 02:32, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
- Will do; just add {{spoiler}} and {{endspoiler}} around that bit. (See Template Talk:spoiler for more details.) (Oh, and use the ~~~~ convenience to sign your work, so you won't mistype March for May. :) ) --Joe Sewell 16:56, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] I'm super, boy
OK, no expert on him, but I've read (Daniels, DC Comics) his first app was 1-2/45, & the book debuted 3-4/49. Can anybody confirm? Also (& I love this), Daniels says the first LSH story has him rejected for membership because his powers were boring... Trekphiler 09:25 & 10:24, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
- He debuted in More Fun Comics in 1945, and got his own book in 1949. Also, Shuster drew the first story, so I'm editing the ref. on no permission from him out of the page. Icarus 23 20:17, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Robert Bernstein vs. Jerry Siegel
Sources vary about whether Siegel wrote the first Superboy story or not. Some claim that the script was mostly his, and changed slightly to have him dinning the costume at the end. Others claim Robert Bernstein wrote the first story. As I don't have the time to reseach this right now, I'm dropping a note here so that someone (maybe me later) can get back to this. Ultimately, the only way to tell is to compare a copy of the original script (if it still exists) to the published story. Icarus 23 20:17, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] =Death did not appear in that issue=
The Pocket Universe Superboy was soon killed (as seen in Legion of Super-Heroes (volume 4) #38, taken by Neil Gaiman's Death).
No, Death appeared in the next volume's #38, in which the Earth was blown up.
