Bizarre O's

Sugar Justice Kryptonite Krunch Brain Bran Mxyzptlk Alpha-Bites

Designer Phil Postma has created a series of (faux) Superman-themed cereal boxes. A fantastic set of designs, with great attention to detail, that harken back to a glut of themed cereals of days gone by. Who wouldn’t want a nice bowl of Bizarre O’s in the morning? Or sugar-coated Justice to start their day? I know I would. Postma gets extra points for using Kellogg’s as maker for two of the cereals. Longtime Superman fans know why.

Head on over to Postma’s blog, Minion Factory, for more of his work. Be sure to dig in the archives for a look at his fun and stylized, yet still classic, designs for a potential Superman animated series!

I was guest-host on episode 259 of the Superman Fan Podcast, hosted by Billy Hogan. In the episode, we discuss SUPERMAN #149, featuring one of my all-time favorite Superman stories, Jerry Siegel’s “The Death of Superman,” as well as ACTION COMICS #282.

Billy’s show, which is always excellent, is one of the longest-running Superman podcasts on the Internet and I had a lot of fun being a part of this episode. So be sure to check out it and all the back episodes as well.

And thanks again to Billy for having me on the show!
