		For whatever reason, it seems that the Superman comics haven't seem to connect as deeply with fans (or is it readers?) as some might have expected they would in recent years, and while Austen isn't pointing fingers at any creators, he does present his own possible explanation.
		He's fun, he loves the business, he's a long time comics fan with a tremendous respect for the medium, and at the same time, the honest eyes to see what is necessary to make this medium contemporary.
		Comics don't pay all that well, at least not for me. I just think that, for a variety of reasons, Superheroes are dead as a medium to reach a wider audience.

	Metropolis: 75th Anniversary Restoration
		In the distant future, the great Metropolis is divided between the wealthy upper-class who play in vast high-rises, and the workers who live far underground, toiling in merciless conditions while tending the machines that power the city.

	Collectors Society Message Boards: Metropolis Comics Grading for GA books
		I just ordered 13 GA books (Planet Comics, Jungle Comics, Thrilling Comics, Black Terror, etc.) from Metropolis, and I must say that I was really pleased with their grading.
		So what I'm basically saying is that Metropolis grades all their books the same way, and does not go easy on their GA books like CGC does.
		Metropolis Comics does grade rather well in my oppinion.

		Based on the second manga volume, the animated feature Metropolis (2001) is a literal and symbolic labor of love driven by two members of Tezuka's devoted fanbase, Rintaro (director of Galaxy Express 999 and X - the movie) and Katsuhiro Otomo (author/artist behind Akira).
		The film's Metropolis is a bright and shining city of industry, powered and maintained by robots, bustling with activity and set to a cheerful, Dixieland jazz soundtrack.

	Prism Comics » Features » "The Fattest Girl in Metropolis!"
		Not one to rest on her splashy laurels, the Girl Reporter shows her journalistic range by covering the possible cure to world hunger in the form of a ray machine that induces berries to snowball on their vines.
		Along the secret-and-sob-laden way, Lois bears the myriad Winfrey-esque indignities all-too-familiar to the abruptly obese: a new wardrobe from the discreetly-named Fat Girl's Shoppe, the shattering of a convertible's axle 'neath her catalyzed girth, and the tendering of a job as a freakshow Fat Lady.
		Despite earlier claims to the contrary, the growth ray is perfectly capable of reversing its own effects, so the Last Son of Krypton wields the machine in order to revivify his pudgy Girl Friend's petitehood while the potential cure for world hunger likewise shrivels under the boot heel of Lois's bloated vanity.
