Donate Brainiac Images Please

[Kistler]

Hey, I'm doing an article soon on MonitorDuty.com about Brainaic pre and post-crisis and I'd appeciate it if people could help me out with more images. Whatever images you have of Brainiac in his various bodies, or if you have links to nice large images, please put them up here or send them to APKistler@aol.com. I really appreciate this, guys. Thanks.

First appearance of Brainiac. Action Comics #242, July 1958.

It's worth noting that the terminal-thingies on his head were only shown on the cover. In the story itself, he didn't have them. Just a bald green head.

I believe they were restored, however, the next time he showed up. (Action #275 and #280)

Later, (Suprman #167, February 1964) DC wanted to use the character again but ran into a problem. There was a company that sold a (very primitive, this was 1964) build-it-yourself computer kit, called "Brainiac". And they threatened to sue DC for swiping their product's name. So a deal was worked out: the company was given free advertising in the comic--and Brainiac's origin was revised so that he was now a computer in human form. And now the head-thingies were explained as exposed computer electrical terminals.

Note the caption at the bottom of panel three. Here's the cover to that issue.

Superman's villians seem to have an affinity towards male pattern baldness...

Thanks for those images. Now does anyone have Brainiac in his Terminator-like body, his green-skinned, blonde goateed body or his body as Brainiac 2.5?
