there was a golden age superman comic where someone called a hit out on clark kent, and so a sniper tried to shoot him while he was out having lunch with lois

except he’s fucking superman so the bullets just fell off his chest into his lunch and clark just had to pretend nothing happened and hope lois wouldn’t notice that someone just fucking shot him

the hitman thinks maybe he just missed and gets ready to shoot him again, but then he’s watching through the scope as clark starts to eat the fucking bullets to hide the fucking evidence, acting like everything is totally normal as he noshes down on lead

dude just packs his shit up and leaves town because reporters in this city eat bullets for lunch and he’s not fucking with that no way no how

WHAT

YOU FOUND IT

THREE YEARS

150K NOTES

AND FINALLY SOMEONE TOLD ME WHERE TO FIND THE FUCKING PANELS

things i misremembered:

• it was silver age
• it wasn’t lois, it was another, completely different female reporter for some reason
  
• i distinctly remembered the closeup on clark’s fucking teeth but misremembered it as being relevant to the story when it was actually just. there. the sniper didn’t notice and just thought his gun fucked up.

things i just plain did not know because i’d only ever seen the bullet-eating panels and had never read the whole issue:

• at this point they had already thrown a grenade and a torpedo at this man

• later they’re going to shoot him point-blank and when he disappears they’ll assume they were just tripping balls and he was never there at all

questions and comments:

• why does this restaurant give everyone chinese-looking outfits
