No, there is a full page inside C-31 of the Superman park in Metropolis, IL because that is the book I had as a small child.


I bought that as a kid too. What you describe sounds familiar, but I don't think I've opened mine since the 70's.

The other one was bought in the late 90's or early 2000's. I don't think I've ever opened it for more than a few seconds.]]> Thu, 31 Dec 2020 10:50:19 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=15284 Message from rgtichy Tue, 29 Dec 2020 17:38:51 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=15284 Message from Defiant1
C-31 is indeed a Superman comic.





I'm thinking this might be the one you are remembering..

I've never been there but heard about it several times. Since we are in Indiana it would be an easy trip. Road Trip!

Not sure I'd say it is *worth* its own trip, even a day trip, but it is worth stopping for!]]> Tue, 09 Jun 2020 17:03:31 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=15284 Message from Ronbatman R]]> Mon, 08 Jun 2020 10:20:42 GMT https://www.comicspriceguide.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=15284 Message from rgtichy https://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2090

Metropolis, IL is there!

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Metropolis,+IL/@37.1561938,-88.7586576,13z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x887a06e4e57107b7:0x3f21b2db51d41bec!8m2!3d37.1511655!4d-88.7319979

I can say that I have taken my picture several times in front of the Superman statue in the town center.

As a kid, living in Chicagoland, I always wanted to go to Metropolis because it was mentioned (in the Superman Treasury Edition C-31, I believe) as the location of the Superman Theme Park! (Never completed, I guess.)

BUT, there is this statue.

AND, there's a comic book store on the town square.

Last time I was there, there was an ice cream store, too.

Driving with kids, driving with adults, this is a "small fun" place to stop and take a picture.]]> Mon, 08 Jun 2020 08:20:17 GMT
