The rest of the TGSB entry details her many adventures, that part I will add bit by bit until it is done. I labeled both TGSB entry and original entry ONLY so that people can easily know which is which and merge them together, afterward those section names will of course be removed.

It looks a little odd now, but it should be one of the better entries here once it's all said and done. --[[User:Super Monkey|Super Monkey]] 13:42, 5 June 2006 (EDT)

Alright, I'm leaving this one alone since you seem to know what you want... ;>) BUT, I still think the Action reference needs Act, because there is another reference in between it...
--[[User:MatterEaterLad|MatterEaterLad]] 16:46, 6 June 2006 (EDT)

Everything that I typed came directly from TGSB, I didn't change a word or letter. I didn't mean to change that part, go ahead and add the "Act", MEL :) --[[User:Super Monkey|Super Monkey]] 17:46, 6 June 2006 (EDT)

No, seriously, I think these types of entries are better when one person puts in most of the preliminaries and formats it, so I think it's better to let you finish before the rest of us add in...--[[User:MatterEaterLad|MatterEaterLad]] 18:13, 6 June 2006 (EDT)

ok, fair enough :) --[[User:Super Monkey|Super Monkey]] 18:21, 6 June 2006 (EDT)

== completed TGSB info ==

Ok, now people can add to it, the Early Years in for Sliver Age comics only, the Later Years is for Bronze Age comics only.

Yikes, the last Supergirl I read was an Adventure comic from 1970, if there aren't a ton of Bronze Age stories, MAYBE the early years can be pre announcement to the world and the later years can be post announcement? Or get a fanatic like Dylan Clearbrook to enter some Bronze Age stories? Looking good though... --[[User:MatterEaterLad|MatterEaterLad]] 22:04, 6 June 2006 (EDT)

There are TONS of Bronze Age plus she had a few series on top of that.--[[User:Super Monkey|Super Monkey]] 22:26, 6 June 2006 (EDT)

LOL, I know, waiting to learn about them "meself" (well, as much as any Bronze Age story ;>) ). --[[User:MatterEaterLad|MatterEaterLad]] 22:34, 6 June 2006 (EDT)

Ah, Super-Monkey. Very smart! Leaving out The Later Adventures so someone else can handle the Crisis and death details! :)
--[[User:Telle|Telle]] 00:44, 7 June 2006 (EDT)

Well, that and putting the pets in her life before the men... ;>) --[[User:MatterEaterLad|MatterEaterLad]] 01:09, 7 June 2006 (EDT)

Comet is a member in good standing of the Legion of Super-Pets, no?
--[[User:Telle|Telle]] 07:37, 7 June 2006 (EDT)

I can switch it back...yeah, he was, it seems that someone who started as a centaur, and becomes a man when a comet passes is a bit more than a pet, but that's cool...--[[User:MatterEaterLad|MatterEaterLad]] 11:13, 7 June 2006 (EDT)

Too bad after mort retired they did not have any more use for the super pets, and got rid of them expect for krypto.

Jasper Rasper

2005-12-25T21:34:21Z

Jps1964:

A mean-minded old skinflint who makes a dastardly attempt to "sabotage Christmas" by feeding [[Santa Claus]] chocolate candy coated with a fat-producing "wonder drug" that makes him too fat to fit down chimneys, and by dosing his reindeer fodder with a debilitating chemical that makes the animals too ill to pull hte magic sleigh. [[Superman]] rescues Christmas from disaster by helping Santa trim down to his normal weight and by flying his sleigh around the world in place of the sickened reindeer, and when Jasper Rasper is accidentally stranded on an ice floe, it is Superman who swoops down to save him.

"Why did you want to sabotage Christmas, Rasper?" asks Superman.

"I jostled and fought my way up from poverty without scruples." replies Rasper. "No one ever gave me a helping hand, and my formula for success was to be trickier than my neighbor.

"I hated Christmas, with its talk of charity and good will! It made a mockery of my hard-boiled philosophy. I decided to sabotage the holiday!

"But now that you two have saved my life, I'm beginning to wonder maybe I've been wrong. Maybe there ''is'' something to the 'good will toward men' reasoning..."

"If you see the error of your ways, Rasper," chimes in Santa, "there's hope for you" (Act No. 105, Feb. '47: "The Man Who Hated Christmas!") (TGSB)

I happen to be a pre crisis fan and what you guys are doing is so wonderful, i do have have a couple of questions are you going to
count the legion stories in adventure comics, and why did the
the TGSB only go to 1965, hope i can do some editing without
screwing things up.

----

It went only to 1965 because that was the cut off point that he gave himself. Perhaps he always meant to follow up with a second volume, but never did.--[[User:Super Monkey|Super Monkey]] 10:56, 17 Nov 2005 (EST)

Ok was just wondering SM, still was a great book

Towbee

Jps1964:

[[Image:Towbee_The_Minstrel_of_Space.jpg|left|thumb|Towbee]]
The "minstrel of space," a seemingly care-free and "happy wanderer among the stars" who visits Earth in January 1973 and descends in his space ship to twenty-two thousand miles above Metropolis for the express purpose of drawing out [[Superman]]. Towbee exclaims that he has exhausted his repertoire of stories and wishes to create a new one about the Man of Steel so that he will have something to "sing to lonely space-voyagers" (Act No. 420: "The Made to Order Menace!").

Towbee's instrument, a "screensong," can cast solid images and sounds that apparently take on a life of their own. Towbee initially uses this instument to create a "drooling little monster," a repulsive winged flying lizard, whom he names [[Artnig]], then lets it loose in the skies over [[Metropolis]] and sits back to see what will happen.

The lizard snatches up [[Clark Kent]] in its talons, and dramatically dangles the disguised Superman over the city, where, exposed to public view, Superman is unable to change to his Superman costume. He eventually succeeds in discreetly using his the inhalation of his super-breath to draw the smoke-stack smoke of a nearby factory toward himself in order to block his costume change from view. Towbee realizes that Superman will not act openly as Superman while in disguise as Clark Kent, so he uses his screensong to quickly fashion a stand-in. Superman goes into action, but is then surprised to discover that an exact doppleganger of Clark Kent is now astride the flying space lizard in his place, crying for help.

Superman tracks down Towbee, wondering why "these interplanetary meddlers can't understand that messing around with the lives of humans isn't right!" and disposes of the flying menace by molding a "big wad of molten plastic" into a giant lens consisting of a series of prisms that focus the sun's rays on the lizard in such a manner that it dissolves. (Act No. 420: "The Made to Order Menace!").

Towbee leaves the Solar System with his "tale to sing across the galaxy" and eventually writes his own equivalent of an epic poem about the incident.
