Marvel and Superman Fans Tour! Nuff said! - Percy is vastly knowledgeable in the Superman lore and Marvel's development from Timely to what it is today. As a comic book fan since 5 years old, I thoroughly enjoyed the historical development of the house of ideas and the various landmarks in NYC attached to great writers like Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko as well as the Superman radio program of the 50s including the George Reeves etc.
