Any early mention of the Macy's Parade in GA comics?

Ah, cool! Thanks WP.

 

BaltimoreLauren -- Some of the oldest pics of the parade are very cool. I always found it boring watching on tv as a kid, but can you imagine being there in 1940 and seeing the giant Superman in the sky? Definitely a sense of wonder.

+1000. I also think it's neat to see how much NYC has evolved over the years. it's fascinating stuff. (That being said, I loved watching the parade! I know some people who are in it every year too. :) )

Those are two very cool pics. Here are three to share from my photography collection.

Andy Panda's cousin - just kidding (1947 Times Square)
