I was a big fan of The Adventures of Lois and Clark; the limited budget of the TV show meant that they couldn't do crazy stuff where Superman would just wipe the floor with everyone. I remember buying a lot of the Return of Superman/Reign of the Supermen comics because by the time I had heard about Death of Superman, it was already sold out everywhere.
When I was a kid, my first introduction to comics was a collection of Silver Age stuff and I loved the absurdity of it all! Thanks for this post that reminds me why Superman is my favorite.
I'm gonna confess that I've never been a big fan of comics. The first I read and liked were graphic novels, the one off stuff and non canon stuff, so my opinions are skewed. But I love Reeves as Superman, and many of the stories. I need to look at Phantom Zone. I also really like the animated series movies, kind of like how to me, that's the best incarnation of Batman, not too dark and not too campy. The cartoon movie with them both was a great story, too. The wedding one.
