I got this book collecting a bunch of old Superman newspaper strips from the late '30s to mid 40's titled "Superman Sunday Classics 1939-1943". Yes, comic book heroes did run in the funnies way back when.

I was reading through the book and noticed this panel from a "evil non-democratic spy organization tries to take over the country" type of story (there seem to be a few in the book). The panel stands out to me since it doesn't have a narrator or a character explaining the situation in detail as was the case in a lot of golden and silver age comic stories; the caption I added for a "Motivational" picture is just a guess on what the villain might be thinking.

Rated mature for the swear word in the picture.

And of course: Superman was created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster and is the property of DC Comics. The book itself was published by Sterling Publishing Co. Inc of New York. The original strip the panel came from was published by what I can only imagine as a lot of newspaper publishers, some of which might not even be in business anymore.

I love this! When he's on your case you're screwed!

It's interesting since Superman is essentially pulling a Batman by sneaking up on the villain like this.

Yar, Superman used to do that alot. Batman also got his "hanging criminals over the sides of buildings" shtick from Golden-Age Supes. He was kinda badass.

Yeah that's true. Then again this is the no no-nonsense golden age version of superman.
