Birthday Celebration for George Reeves!

Posted by Midtown Comics in: .Blogs | Comments Off on Birthday Celebration for George Reeves!

By Gerry Gladston

With a cheerful smile and a wink, George Reeves’ Superman won the hearts of millions of fans worldwide in the 1950s and well beyond. Reeves’ Superman exuded friendly confidence, compassion, humor, and an air of almost paternal authority. Everyone in the room always knew where they stood with Superman, and the authorities never questioned him. Gangsters feared him, but he was a super-gentleman to everyone else, especially Lois Lane. The playful, romantic tension between Lois and Superman was a big part of the fun factor!
