How could Superman have been so popular in the 1950's?

[Scrooge]

I was a big Sad Sack fan in the mid-60s,

 

So, you're THE one!

[awe4one]

I read Richie Rich in the 70s and have to say I really liked them. Wouldn't admit it to my comic reading friends who were Marvel Zombies but they were very entertaining...

Cadbury could whip Alfred any day.

[Scrooge]

Cadbury could whip Alfred any day.

 

Jarvis would still whip both Alfred and Cadbury's skinny butts any day :sumo:

[Norrin_Radd]

It's funny, but the only comic I remember seeing growing up was at a dentists office. Wondered what it was. But it was a silly-looking Richie Rich comic, so I didn't check it out.

 

If it had been a Batman comic, maybe I would have become a comic fan much earlier.

Ahh, the boards are finally having the long-overdue Richie Rich discussion.

 

And Fat Alfred would beat all butlers.

[Zonker]

And Fat Alfred would beat all butlers.

 

Fat Alfred rocked.

 

Was this the first example of Hollywood influencing a character originated in the comic books?

even Jarvis?

Cadbury could whip Alfred any day.

Cadbury was a superhero for a period of time.

[Scrooge]

So was Jarvis

 

... and his adoptive daughter is a super-hero too, no?

Jarvis got seriously messed up during that whole invasion of Avengers headquarters.

Cadbury wouldn't have allowed that.

[HouseofComics.Com]

Alfred wouldn't have allowed himself to be on a comic cover holding a vacuum menacingly.

[binarysunrise]

I believe that by the 50s the circulation of the Superman newspaper strips had already peaked, but was still being carried by a respectable number of papers. This number then dropped off significantly in the 60s...

And Fat Alfred would eat all butlers.

 

Corrected.

[Norrin_Radd]

And Fat Alfred would beat all butlers.

 

Fat Alfred rocked.

Deuced right he did. (thumbs u

[rednalsram]

As I recall, Cadbury was almost like a second Dad to Richie Rich; and quite the adventurer.

 

Every once and awhile I needed a break from my superhero comics, and found R.R. a fun,

and fast read.

[slym2none]

How is Superman still popular now?

 

*ducks and runs*
