Groove's Faves: "The Man Who Murdered the Earth!" by Wein, Swan, and Anderson

Dig it, Groove-ophiles! With Superman #248 (December 1971), Len Wein, Curt Swan, and Murphy Anderson gave us an action epic featuring Superman, Lex Luthor, Lois Lane, and Lex's "latest" creation, The Galactic Golem! GG was a little bit cosmic, a little bit legend, a little bit Frankenstein's Monster--and a whole lot ugly! Prepare for..."The Man Who Murdered the Earth!"

Check it out, Groove-ophiles! The Galactic Golem's second appearance in Superman #258 is even cooler (imo) than his debut tale! Be on the lookout for it here on the Diversions...soon!
