SUNDAY FUNNIES WITH KERRY CALLEN! A SUPERMAN WEEK bonus! — Wrapping up SUPERMAN WEEK! Click here for the COMPLETE INDEX of columns and features! Look, up in the sky! — Dan — By KERRY CALLEN After a one-week gap, resuming my series reviewing 20th Century comic books that claim The Battle/Fight/Bout/Showdown of the Century on their covers… This week’s battle — SUPERMAN vs. THE SPIDER-MAN!
