THis is an actual photo up for auction on ebay. Kirk Alyn meets Jackson Bostwick. I'd have preferred Chris Reeve, but this is still pretty darn cool. I may have to grab this just for novelty.

Are you sure that is not photoshoped? It just seems an odd image unless it was a candid from some public appearance/convention thing.It's all good!Comment

I had no idea Alyn wore a Superman suit at cons.
By the way, that's not his original Super-suit. The "S" is wrong for Alyn. Plus his was gray and brown for better reproduction in black and white.
But what a great pic. Bostwick is/was a big fan of the serial heroes. He was pals with Clayton Moore.

It just occurred to me that these photos are obviously an Earth-2/Earth-S crossover. The Golden Age Superman meets Captain Marvel!

Which would make a George Reeves/John Davey team-up...what, Earth-B?

I wish DC would still let old timey actors wear the superhero costumes.
Especially with Adam West and Co appearing at the Toronto Fan expo this weekend!Comment

Davey is definitely Earth-B. No offense to the guy, but he paled in comparison to Bostwick.Which would make a George Reeves/John Davey team-up...what, Earth-B?
George would be Earth-2 under a different artist. He's a Wayne Boring Superman, where Alyn is Shuster.
Chris Reeve is Earth-1, obviously!

Actually, it occurred to me a little while after I posted that technically, Earth-2 would be Kirk Alyn and Tom Tyler, who played the Big Red Cheese in the Adventures of Captain Marvel movie serial (which, if you've never seen it, is great).Comment
