He's a dick.
Ragman:
The whole thing of Superdickery.com is to find silver age covers, out of their context. Without showing the entire issue, you don't know the context of the cover, not to mention the fact that covers have always been somewhat misleading. They show something that maybe from the comic, may be allude to something within it, or may not at all.
For example, the Jim Lee variant cover to Infinite Crisis number one predominately featured Dr. Light in the top of it, under the title, yet he has a bit part among a group of other villains attacking the, arguably in context, more important Freedom Fighters.
Covers have one purpose: To attract readers. They're like a movie poster, for something that's only 23 pages long. One way that's done is through the simple act of shock. To show Superman's parenting skills in such a way, the artist defamed him, which made some people upset enough that they had to grab the issue, only to realize it was probably stolen or something and Superman actually only returns it (don't own the issue, just assuming).
So please, don't be a dick yourself. Don't post anything off of Superdickery.com. Read something like the OYL Superman/Action Comics to see the real Superman.
ImRonBurgundy?:
Dude. I was kidding. How obvious do I have to make it?
Phoenix:
Those covers aren't real, are they?
Even out of context, he's being a complete wang. I just assumed they'd been photoshopped or something.
ImRonBurgundy?:
The guy who runs the site swears up and down that they're real. They wouldn't be funny if they weren't, honestly.
