I've never seen him use a pistol. DOES he pick up a pistol in either of these stories?

Looks almost like those giveaway comics where the name of the local department store was printed on the book but there's no reason to think this comic---especially in the numbers they were printed in in those days---would have had special regional printings. Would love to see a different scan, though. <br /><br />This would have only been about the second month of the radio series but all the reports indicate that Pep was there from the beginning. And what, exactly, is/was FORCE anyway!?Bookstevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09797445163866512849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2484864346265925909.post-64813857573504491072011-12-27T07:41:27.065-05:002011-12-27T07:41:27.065-05:00Superman, "sponsored by the makers of Force?&...Superman, "sponsored by the makers of Force?" I thought Kellogg's Pep sponsored him in the early days. Hm. Judging from the spacing, I'd guess that the word "Force" was kind of... err... forced in there. I'd almost suspect this sponsor change to be a local thing, but then again, the comic book it appeared in was obviously designed for (the pun is unavoidable) national distribution. Any ideas?The Silver Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00730805376957629641noreply@blogger.com
