Interesting read by the people behind @TheWarOnCars - I just borrowed it from the library. Lots of good for thought re tackling the automotive scourge.

A point made in 'Life After Cars' is that back in the 1920-30s there was a big backlash against the upheaval cars were causing as they took over cities, particularly re the huge road toll. The authors mention - surprisingly - an early Superman comic book story which had the Man of Steel pitted against irresponsible drivers and dodgy car manufacturers. I had a look in the DC app, and it was there! So here are a few choice panels from Action Comics #12 (1939): #TheWarOnCars #Superman #comics #ComicBooks Cc @TheWarOnCars@mastodon.social
