That Was Then, This Is Now

An historical look at the "Superman Homepage"

What you're about to look at is a "That Was Then, This Is Now" view of the Superman Homepage website. You'll see how the Superman Homepage has evolved over the years. See how we've grown, how the site's design has changed, see how the content has expanded.

You'll get to see Andrew J Gould's original "Superman Homepage" as it appeared in 1996 just before I took over. You'll get to read his last News update alerting readers of the immenent change and his failing health which sadly lead to his death less then 3 weeks later...

I often wonder what Andrew would think of the website as it stands today. Would he approve?

I'm still in awe of his dedication back then... He was a one-man band. Confined to his house. Physically challenged by his failing health and dibilitating disease. I don't know how he did it. Andrew, I salute you!

Besides Andrew's 1996 version, we show you what the website looked like when I first took over in late 1996 - early 1997. Then again in 1998 as the website matured. See the way the website looked in the prosperous days of 1999-2000 when the Superman Homepage was part of the FANDOM.COM family.

You'll also see what the website looked like after the closure of Fandom.com, when the website returned to a completely free and fan-owned existence and its own domain name address at www.supermanhomepage.com in 2000 and other modifications since then.

Hopefully, for those of you who are new to the Superman Homepage website, this historical look will give you an appreciation for how far the website has come. For those of you who have been around since those early days, I hope you enjoy this nostalgic trip back in time.

Boy how time flies... It only seems like yesterday when I first found the slow, grey-screened, text-heavy "Superman Homepage" and started an email-friendship with Andrew Gould. It feels like only yesterday... yet it also seems so long ago...
