Metropolis Mailbag: End of the mullet?

gpack3 asked:

I've been working my way through this era and right now, I'm deep in the Mullet Period with no end in sight. When does Superman lose the mullet? And when does Clark get rid of that ridiculous ponytail? I'm not sure how much more I can take.

As I recall, he loses it at the end of 1996, right in time for the wedding. I have an awful confession to make: I loved the mullet as a kid. I thought it made him look more badass, and it was also an easy way to tell the more recent comics apart from the older ones, so whenever I saw the mullet in a cover I got excited. I’m curious to see if it’ll bug me this time around.

Anyway, thanks for writing in! You have won a trading card of The Mullet:
