Reading Room: WEIRD TALES OF THE FUTURE "Plaything"
Ever feel like you're totally-insignificant?
Well, there might be a very good reason, as shown in Key's Weird Tales of the Future #6 (1953)!
"As flies to wanton boys are we to th' gods. They kill us for their sport."
–Shakespeare "King Lear"
While the writer is unknown, the artist was Tony Mortellaro, who did hundreds of tales in various genres for Key and Atlas/Marvel, (where he became Associate Art Director under John Romita in the 1970s).

Previous Men of Steel!
With a "rebooted" Man of Steel currently in release...
First up, Kirk Alyn's highly-underrated serial hero...
Then George Reeves' Superman, who first appeared in the movies...
...and, though he popped up almost continuously on the small screen, the Last Son of Krypton didn't reappear on the big screen until 1978...
..restored scene from Superman II explaining how he got his powers back!
...after two awful sequels, Superman didn't come back to movies until 2006 in a sincere, but flawed, attempt to continue the story from the end of Superman II...
And now, a total reboot!
Check out
Man of Celluloid Steel

Before MAN OF STEEL was SUPERMAN!
Man of Steel, opening today, is only the latest version of Superman to hit movie screens
The first one was an Academy Award-nominated flick......the first of 17 tales rendered in astonishing animated form!
When you go to see the newest celluloid Superman (and you know you will), remember the first one...
