A good example of this is Superman #416, which has Superman disguising himself not once, not twice, but THREE times during his pursuit of an especially slippery Lex (hellooo, Google search!). In all fairness, though, I should mention Luthor only breaks out the costume kit once. On the other hand, Superman disguises himself as a bum (Lex: "Get lost, vagrant!") and a soda jerk in quick succession.
But it's his last bit of camouflage that won 'em over in Cannes, using nothing more than a beret and an accent so bad you can actually hear it. Oui! Il est Superman français!
Hey, nice nameplate, Lex!
Well, sorta.Panels from Superman #416

"Frog"? They actually used "Frog"? I don't know whether to laugh or just be appalled -- or both!
ReplyDeleteOh man, it's terrible, right? I groan every time I read it!
ReplyDeleteHahahahaha! Monsieur Frog! ROFL.
ReplyDeleteAnd considering Superman to be a master of disguise, I mean, only a pair of glasses and no one recognizes him, I think this French outfit is flawless!
BTW, I'm adding your blog to my linked ones ;). Hope we can exchange links.
I guess that's true — compared to his daily disguise, this is almost a Lon Chaney, Jr.-level effort!
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading and for the link — I'd be happy to add you to the blogroll!
Thanks to you! And from time to time I go on linking rampage, lol. It's fun to always find Sea of Green and SallyP wherever I go, heehee.
