Superman #713: Allowed to Save Kittens From Trees

Superman #713: Allowed to Save Kittens From Trees

Last month,Superman #712 was replaced with an older unused story from Kurt Busiekfeaturing Krypto, while the original was supposed to feature a Muslim hero by JMS and Chris Roberson.

It was reported that, in the story, there was a scene with Superman saving a kitten from a tree – that the executives at DC apparently frowned on.

So they axed the original story.

However, in this week’s issue ofSuperman #713 –there is a scene with Supes saving a kitten (okay, from a roof)!

Now, whatkool kat came up with that one? (laughs) And what was the REAL reason for #712 being replaced?!

Update:Here’s the reference.
