Ever wonder what Superman would have to say about health care? Now we know thanks to olde-timey comics that address formerly -- and sometimes currently! -- socially relevant topics. If only Superman could fly down from the sky and fact-check every politician who tries to warp the debate over health care by claiming that Obama wants to kill old people.What's even better is that this was apparently published as a public service message in the comic book "The Adventures of Bob Hope," a 1950s comic starring the popular comedian.
When sales of the title began to drop in the 1960s, they introduced the Poochie-tastic character named Super-Hip -- a straight-laced character who turns green and Hulks out when he's angry by turning into a super-cool guy with a guitar that forces you to dance uncontrollably. And while he sounds very much like a character from "Dazzler," he actually made an appearance in the DC universe proper in "Doom Patrol" #107.
