Comic Book Questions Answered - where I answer whatever questions you folks might have about comic books (feel free to e-mail questions to me at bcronin@comicbookresources.com). Here is a link to an archive of all the past questions that have been answered so far.

Read on to find out!

The Baldy Award was basically the No-Prize equivalent of the Superman line of comics during the 1990s (which at one point grew to FIVE titles a month!), occasionally given out to the best letter they received this month.

The actual award was a postcard "from" Lex Luthor, personally "signed" by Luthor himself...
