Hey! It's time to see Superman fight an alligator, courtesy of Superman #9!
Yeah, it's basically the same three moves Superman does every time he has to fight some sort of beast, but... Superman fighting an alligator, right?
Check it out:
It'll still be few issues before we are officially introduced to Jimmy Olsen in the comics (he actually first appears in the Superman radio program), but I'm thinking this is the first true sighting of Jimmy. Many folks think this was Jimmy's first appearance, but unless Jimmy bleached his hair the first time, I'm thinking this is the one.
Random Slap! (tm!)
Even though Clark has to be rolling with it, I'm surprised that guy doesn't have a broken hand.

We laugh about the disguising power of eyeglasses when it comes to Clark / Superman, but I guess in comics a pair of glasses is practically Spider-Man's mask.
So.... here's something I never thought was a thing:

Someewhere, in some tiny town in the Adirondacks, there is a warehouse overgrown by foliage and inside are all those old badminton rackets and the strings, along with a thousand other items advertised (including about 75,000 copies of GRIT), never to be found. Until after the apocalypse.
Not just money, either, but 'big' money. That was some racket, that re-stringing rackets racket.
