    Wally Wood art!  At least, I think it is.  No one does such stiff yet gorgeous panels.

    I think this should be Superman’s new costume. He can team up with Medieval Spawn.

    Did Superman steal Supergirl’s old skirt?

    I love the Captain Marveled Style cape! It makes him look very regal, which he should given who he is. And this looks like a ton of fun!

    I’ll keep this in mind at “Medieval Times” this weekend.  (This and Cable Guy.)

    @VitoDelsante  Yep! Wally Wood! Script is by Levitz, Conway, or both.

    That editors not is kind of redundant. If the panel speaks for itself…LET IT!

    That is one snarky editor’s note.

    “Yon” is a word that doesn’t get enough play

    I love that he’s using a dude as a weapon in that panel. Also, that editor’s note definitely speaks for itself too.

    I actually kind of like Superman’s outfit. Maybe, I just I want a story about Superman as a knight.

    @TheGoose  He teamed up with the Silent Knight in The Brave and The Bold.

    I smell a team up with Robin Hood.

    Kinda has a Monty Python feel to it, especially with Sups opening lines.

    I’d like to see Errol Flynn top this!

    This dialogue is hilarious but not on purpose, i think.

    that’s funny, Supes usually teams up with Dark Knights all the time

    It’s a little known fact that in Ye Olde England, ‘CRASH’ was always spelt with a K.

    @Heroville  I think there was an Elseworlds story where Superman became a knight.

    Wally Wood will be forever missed. Thank you Wizard #232, Dec. 2010. One of the many good things about that mag.
