Rain of the Supermen

[RSS]

I love stuff like licensed rain coats mostly because few people thought to save them, especially fond of the Star Trek one. I have nothing against Holly Hobby but sometimes it's hard to scan a catalog without destroying it in the process...

Never had one of these, but I definitely had a rain poncho from the same era, in the same yellow, with Shazam on it.

Those are cool! I just had a plain red raincoat. But I did find a SMDM rain poncho at a toy show.

I had a spiderman raincoat and my little sister had the batman and robin one in the picture there! I thought they were way cool.

I had a very similar Superman raincoat. I the "S" in the same position on the front, but the back had a nice Swanderson shot of Superman flying over the Metropolis skyline.

Unfortunately, I came in after a rainy day, and hung it in my dark closet. Of course, the next time I pulled it out, it was covered in mildew.

I think we had the same version Superman raincoat. And, I loved it.

When I saw the one above, I thought it looked familiar but something was off about the back of it, or my memory of it had failed.

Great raincoat, regardless. I loved the smell of it...lol

I Googled "Superman" raincoat and found this vintage picture of the Batman raincoat. I really love the artwork on the back of it.

^Wow, what a great pic! That Batman is a Murphy Anderson piece, done for licensing and corner cover boxes. Robin is from a Carmine Infantino panel. Fantastic stuff.

^ Yeah, I love it.

You know, I can't seem to find a picture of the version of the Superman raincoat that you and I had.
