Batman (vol. 1) #180 (May, 1966). Cover by Gil Kane, Murphy Anderson, and Ira Schnapp.

The issue marks the first, and for a long time only, appearance in American comics of Death-Man.

Although written as a one-shot disposable villain, Death-Man was popular enough to appear as the first villain Batman and Robin faced in a Japanese version of their adventures published the same year. Now dubbed Lord Death Man, the baddie vexed the Dynamic Duo in the first three chapters of the manga written and drawn by Jiro Kuwata (Moonlight Mask, 8Man).

Writer Grant Morrison brought Death-Man back in the first volume of Batman Incorporated (2011). Morrison kept the Lord Death Man title, and relocated the villain in Japan with the mission to kill all crimefighters.

WC: SUPERBOY #131

For those who know, the significance of this issue of SUPERBOY is readily apparent. For those who don’t, you’ll be finding out all about it by the time we get to the end of the coverage of this issue. By 1966 when this issue was first published, editor Mort Weisinger’s approach to the Superman titles was starting to look a little bit long in the tooth. It didn’t really help that the reduction of…

My Episode 10 easter eggs and refences in My Adventures with Superman post is here

(SPOILERS if you haven't seen the show yet):

Lois Lane has a cut out clip of Vicki Vale. Vicki Vale is a journalist in Gotham City. Her first appearance was in Batman #49 (1948) as seen in the panel here (W: Bill Finger, A: Lew Sayre and Bob Kane, I: Charles Paris, L: Ira Schnapp).

Looks like Jimmy is a fan of Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask. Good video game taste.

Jimmy mentions a psychic starfish and the one starfish in the DC universe who is psychic is Starro the Conqueror, who's first appearance is in Brave and the Bold 28 (1960) (the cover art here is done by Mike Sekowsky, Murphy Anderson, and Ira Schnapp) and has the power to mind control people.

Lois, after barging into Perry White's office about a story, mentions Mt. Simonson. This is a neat name drop to Superman: The Man of Steel writer Louise Simonson, one of the nicest comic book writers you'll ever meet. She helped co-create John Henry Irons a.k.a Steel with artist of the Superman: The Man of Steel comic, Jon Bogdanove (really hope we get to see Irons in this show too).

Jon Bogdanove also gets a name drop here as does...

Dan Jurgen, comic book writer and artist on the Superman comic in the 90s (also one of my favorite Superman artists).

Now who are these kids that call themselves the Newskid Legion? Well, they are a VERY deep DC cut and reference to the Newsboy Legion back in the 1940s. The group was created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, LEGENDARY comic book creators.

The page here is from Who's Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe #16 (1986) with the art by Jack Kirby and Karl Kesel. Most of the Newskid Legion is named after the Newsboy Legion members

Gabby and Big Words here share names with their Newsboy Legion counterparts as does Flip Johnson...

who shares names with Walter "Flip" Johnson here on the cover of Superman's Pal Jimmy Olson #137 (1971) which was done by Jack Kirby, Neal Adams, and Gaspar Saladino.

Patty, the cartoonist of the Newskid Legion homages this panel from Adventures of Superman #500 (1993) (W: Karl Kesel, P: Tom Grummet, I: Doug Hazelwood, C: Glenn Whitmore, L: Albert DeGuzman), the first appearance of Superboy, Conner Kent/ Kon-El.

But who is the one below that drawing? We'll his name is in Big Word's word puzzle, in the show. It's Jim Harper, the Guardian.

Jim Harper becomes the Newsboy Legion's legal guardian despite their causing trouble for him. The page here is from Star Spangled Comics #7, the Newsboy Legion and the Guardian's first appearance, by Joe Simon, Jack Kirby, and Whitney Ellsworth. You might've seen the Guardian on the recent Young Justice cartoon.

When Lois, Clark, and Jimmy go investigate about the smuggled robots in Metropolis, Jimmy makes a reference to super intelligent gorillas in France. This is a subtle hint at Monsieur Mallah, the Doom Patrol villain who will be in the show along with his partner, the Brain. Both made their first appearance in Doom Patrol #86 (1964) .

The cover art here is done by Arnold Drake, Bob Brown, and Ira Schnapp.

Later in the episode we see Clark receive his powers and he is surrounded with electricity, giving off Superman Blue vibes when in the comics, Superman gained electricity powers and became Electric Blue Superman who's first appearance was in Superman #123 (1997) (cover art by Ron Frenz, Joe Rubenstein, Patrick Martin, and Todd Klein.

Action Comics #351, June 1967.  Cover by Curt Swan and George Klein.

During that time when the original Captain Marvel was in limbo - after Fawcett Comics had ceased publishing in 1953, and before DC Comics licensed the character in 1972 (before eventually purchasing him outright) - DC Comics tried their hand at having a version of Cap battle Superman.

Created by writer Otto Binder (one of the writers for Captain Marvel) and artist Wayne Boring, Zha-Vam was a being formed out of clay by the Greek gods to battle Superman because they believed the Man of Steel to be a rival god.

 Captain Marvel’s magic word “Shazam” was an anagram of the gods and heroes bestowing their powers upon him (Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury).  Zha-Vam’s name was also an anagram for the principal gods that gave him his powers (Zeus, Hercules, Achilles, Vulcan, Apollo and Mercury).

As if that didn’t make him tough enough, Zha-Vam was also outfitted with a belt that endowed him with powers of additional mythological gods and creatures just by touching the letters on his belt.  Those included:

C changed Zha-Vam into a cyclops with a ray beam eye

I gave him the magic bow of Iris

J gave him Jason’s dragon-teeth, which could become warriors or dragons

M would give him the powers of Morpheus (make people sleep) or Mars (war-like abilities)

O was for Orion’s shield, which was impenetrable and could expand faster than Superman could fly

P was for Pluto’s Cap of Darkness, or the Sun Chariot of Phaethon

S gave him the four arms and swords of Shiva (who is by no means a Greek god, but hey this is comics)

T would cause him to grow to 100 feet tall as a Titan; and 

G changed him into a gorgon, with the ability to turn people to stone - a power he totally used on Superman

Action Comics #352, July 1967.  Cover by Curt Swan and George Klein.

Needless to say, with all these magic-based powers, Zha-Vam was a tough opponent for Superman.  In fact, he kept defeating Superman and eventually drove the Man of Steel off of Earth.

Action Comics #353, August 1967.  Cover by Wayne Boring and Ira Schnapp.

Superman then travels back in time to learn why the Greek gods created Zha-Vam in the first place.  He then meets with the oracle of the gods to try to figure out a way to defeat Zha-Vam.  The oracle directs Superman to a rival group of gods, who create a belt similar to Zha-Vam’s.  Superman utilizes the belt to finally defeat Zha-Vam.

Superman returns the villain to ancient Greece and confronts the gods with their failure.  The gods revert Zha-Vam back to the clay he was made from (I wonder if that makes him related to Wonder Woman), and Superman returns home.

This three-part trilogy was the one and only time that Zha-Vam battled Superman, perhaps because he so completely overpowered the Man of Steel and it might be difficult to think up a way to defeat him (a complaint many writers have about Superman himself).

Superman (vol. 1) #214, February 1969.  Cover by Neal Adams.

Zha-Vam made a reappearance of sorts a year-and-a-half later in Superman (vol. 1) #214.  He, along with the “ghosts” of two other deceased enemies - Metallo and the Composite Superman - bedevil the Metropolis Marvel until he determines that they are not real.  The “ghosts” were illusions created by a young alien who was trying to defeat Superman in order to join a super-team somewhere in space.

This issue marked the final appearance of Zha-Vam.  I guess once DC acquired Captain Marvel they did not think there was any need for the villain again.
