A few years ago I wrote a story called "The Trouble With Superman," a little bit of silliness that eventually was published in the inaugural edition of Space Squid, and ended up getting an honorable mention in Gardner Dozois's Years Best Science Fiction, amazingly enough. The story was about the little bits of personal detail about Superman that just never made it into the comics.

This morning, a post on Blog@Newsarama lead me to the new blog of Kerry Callen, whose Halo and Sprocket, a series about a girl, a robot, and an angel, has long been a favorite of mine. And in Callen's most recent post he's thrown the spotlight on this unpublished gem, entitled "The Truth About Superman."



Different truths than in my story, perhaps, but no less valid...
