From Bad to Worse
May 24th, 2006
Comic book doctors are rarely written well. Soap opera doctors are even worse.
Ever consider what would happen if you combined the two?
Well, wonder no more. This very scene from Superman Family #210 answers that question (click on the panel to see the full image).
[Programming note: This story was published in the early 80s when Linda Danvers (aka Supergirl) was one of the lead actresses on the WGBS soap opera "Secret Hearts."]

The guy has sleaze written all over him. He’s probably one of those actors who liked to ‘improvise.’ That scene he played out was actually written by him.

I like how when they’re delivering lines they put “quote marks” around them in the dialogue bubbles. It actually has me reading it in my mind as cheezily delivered soap opera dialogue – well done, DC of the early 80s – well done.
