Also, the artwork just above Siegel's right hand is of Superman and Super G.I. shaking hands (Superman says "Welcome to the comic strips, Super G.I.! You've got some super adventures ahead of you!"), which appeared above the masthead on the cover of the same edition.Boswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920475200033343908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611875170009784219.post-62927407454593375112013-11-14T22:11:17.200-05:002013-11-14T22:11:17.200-05:00Thanks so much for this thorough insight, Boswell!...Thanks so much for this thorough insight, Boswell!Marc Tyler Noblemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10732005290440645718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6611875170009784219.post-66312232706714420752013-11-14T21:00:56.151-05:002013-11-14T21:00:56.151-05:00This is a photograph taken in late 1944 at the Mid...This is a photograph taken in late 1944 at the Midpacifican offices in Honolulu. Siegel was a writer on the paper from the time of his arrival in Hawaii in August 1944, to May 1945, when the paper was shut down upon the commencement of the Pacific Edition of Stars and Stripes. Siegel and Green are looking at "Super G.I.," which ran for 14 weeks in Midpacifican from 12/30/44 to 3/17/45, before ceasing mid-storyline. This is one of a number of photos I have seen from the same shoot, another is here (http://tinyurl.com/m9k6k5z) and shows Siegel, Green and other staffers reviewing what appears to be the first installment of Super G.I.Boswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00920475200033343908noreply@blogger.com
