The Eagles were once a backup band for which female singer?

Hi mcb, I believe that may have been Linda Ronstadt. Incidentally, one of those guys lives over in the next County from me. coastie65

My first gold star, WOW. Thanks Adama.

I'm surprised no one has answered the one about the creators of Superman yet. I thought that was pretty easy. I guess there aren't too many old comic book nuts like myself out there, huh? :D

[coastie65]

Geez, That thing was tough and I used to read Superman all the time when I wasn't reading Porky Pig, Bugs Bunny, Woody Woodpecker, and such. Anyway, I was in the attic this morning looking for something and noticed a box way down on the other end. I hadn't noticed it before, so went and took a look. Lo and behold, there was a bunch of old comic books in there, well about 50 I guess. Lot of Looney Tunes and Disney stuff as well as Archie and others. There was cover for an old Superman comic but nothing else in between. I remember that there were two people, One wrote and the other did the artwork. I remembered the name Siegal and the other shared the name of a publisher. The first Publisher that came to mind was Simon and Shuster, so I'm thinking the second name was Shuster. That's my final answer, Siegal and Shuster. coastie65

MAGAZINES/COMICS There is a magazine/comic that has been around, I know, since the late Fifties as I read it then. It has been turned into a late night show and is still being published. What is the name of the magzine?

[unclew]

You got it, coastie; Joe Shuster and Jerry Siegel.

Oh, and the magazine is MAD. I used to have a huge collection ;)
