In "Clark Kent's Great Superman Hunt", although it's not explicitly stated, I'd like to think that Perry White was in on Superman's plan. I can't believe he'd deliberately risk exposing Superman's secret identity, and he did say that they wouldn't reveal it without Superman's permission. Maybe he didn't want to risk letting Jimmy Olsen in on the secret plan, for fear that Jimmy might somehow give it away, possibly endangering Lois. I think, story-wise, Jimmy is a surrogate for us readers, who don't know the plan, and are wondering what, exactly, Clark is up to.
ReplyDeleteI did think there was one little flaw in the plan: When Clark Kent was tracking down possible secret identities with the initials F and H, or H and F, he rejected circus performer Fangs Hogan as being Superman, because his reason for not going to a dentist is that his teeth are strong enough to "shear through a wooden board"... uh, JUST LIKE SUPERMAN! I'd think that would be reason to think he is Superman!
In commenting on "The Girl Who Was Mightier Than Superman", you wondered if, when Superman mentioned "that foxy Orella", he was referring to her sex-appeal as well as her cleverness. I kind of doubt it, because I don't think that particular use of "foxy" really became common until the 1970s. At the end of the story, when Superman uses his telescopic vision to see the planet Matrion, he notes that it's ironic (Great Silver Age word, there!), that the women had hoped one day to return to the planet, which was now lifeless due to its dried-up seas. He doesn't note the irony that, while their home planet's seas have dried up, they're living on Earth, on an island surrounded by the Pacific Ocean.
