See Superman In Color, 1939

On: By: Romeyn

Beginning next Sunday, the amazing exploits of SUPERMAN will be featured in color in the Adventure Section of the Sunday Post-Dispatch.

This super-hero flies faster than an airplane… he can outswim a speed boat and leap over sky-scrapers. He smashes steel like putty and runs faster than a speeding express train. Enlisted on the side of justice, he crusades constantly against the forces of evil.

For a Thrill Every Sunday, Follow SUPERMAN’S Adventures

“Death Battle with Robot Kong,” an illustration by Takashi Minamimura, features a cutaway diagram of Robot Kong, also known as “Mechani-Kong” in the US version of the cartoon and in the 1967 spin-off film “King Kong Escapes.” Built to defeat King Kong, the 50-meter tall remote-control robot is powered by a 200,000-kilowatt nuclear reactor and can shoot laser beams from its eyes and poison gas from its nose.
