The advertising for the original "Superman" movie said "You will believe that a man can fly."

Ah. Thanks for clarifying.

It's always the good ones that go.

Godspeed Mr. Reeve. Godspeed.

Obviously done on very short notice, I have two tribute signatures for Christopher Reeve and Superman fans; feel free to use it.

Where did this come from? It was all so sudden. I watched they news this morning and they said it, just like that: "Cristopher Reeve, aka Superman, is dead. And now for the weather." I could barely believe what I heard but it turned out to be true...

It's so sad. He fights for so long to find a cure, and when we almost have it, he dies from an infection. This is supposed to happen in those sad movies, not in the real life!

We can only hope someone else will fight against the fundies for stemcell research.

Rest in Peace, mighty Superman.

You know, somewhere around here I have the old black armband with the superman symbol that came with the comic where he died. I might wear that to work tomorrow.

There can be only one Superman, and it was Christopher Reeve.

Of course, it holds nothing to his contributions outside of the movies. Who of us would have fought as hard as he did after his accident? Most of us would have given up.

Go with God, Mr. Reeve.

You have a copy of Superman #75 that came in the black bag with the armband? You know what? I fucking hate you.

Here's another mourning signature in case anyone wants it; the image is from JL's "Hereafter".

(And in case anyone's wondering, no, I am not trying to capitalize on Mr. Reeve's death)

Not to get political, but John Kerry mentioned Chris Reeve in the debate last Friday. In a speech Kerry gave yesterday, he talked about Reeve death and the contributions he made. Kerry was visably upset and I do believe that he will be a strong advocate for the research. He too believed that Reeve would have walked again.

I think I'll use that, but I'll host my copy on photobucket.

Rest in Peace Mr Reeves. Thank you for bringing the legend of man of steel alive on the silver screen.

Well, according to Swedish science magazine "Ny Teknik" (New Technology), stem cell research is now advanced enough that, in maybe 5-7 years or possibly even less, we could effectively use stemcells against paralysis (at least the kind that comes from a broken neck). Unless certain groups get what they want and the research is banned...
