Cool.
Totally unrelated question to the topic but how does one go about doing those screen captures?

I use Power DVD on the computer.
I just put the disc in the computer, watch the movie and hit the little camera icon on the Power DVD player.
It saves each picture/capture to your files.

For some reason, it don't always work.
20% of the time it only captures a green screen.
Not sure why.

Seeing vintage comics of Superman, Superboy, and Batman on the Adventures of Superman reminds me of the episode of Wonder Woman (second season I think) where an Asian man has a vendetta against WW and he has memorabilia of her, including a Mego Comic Action figure of WW.
It also reminds me of the Six Million Dollar Man episode, "A Bionic Christmas Carol" and Steve Austin is in a toy shop and very visible in the background was the famous
Six Million Dollar Man action doll MIB. And just for a laugh, there was an episode of Happy Days that dealt with voodoo and the voodoo doll this old woman has was the Mego Fonzie.
It's actually cool to see toys and comics of these characters caught on these shows.
Cheers.

So I assume you get to the exact frame/scene you want a pic of and pause it? You don't click while it's playing, right?

Nice work Toyroom and Riffster on ID'ing the comics!

That Rainbow Doom is a pretty nasty thing and who could forget the heart-stirring lyrics of the "Ballad of Batman"?

Look out! It's The Rainbow of Doom!!!! Surely, Sunshine, Lollipops, and the Bunny of the Apocalypse will follow!!!

Superboy #44, OCtober 1955

Oops, that was close, Lois almost caught Clark picking up the latest issue of Swank.

So Batman DID appear on The Adventures of Superman!

That is really cool. I've always loved the real-life merchandise appearances on TV shows. Another one that comes to mind is a Toy-Biz Flash figure on an episode of ...well...The Flash. Even though those figures were horrible, it was still cool to see it. Several real-life pieces of Spidey merchandise made it into the Spidey-appreciation day scene of Spider-Man 3.

Superboy #44, OCtober 1955

One anyone have faulted Clark if he just dropped that weight on Lana and got it over with? What a little #$%^& she was!
