VERY good vignette. I laughed at the signature, and I chuckled when the letter talked about such adulation going to Superman's head. And a hundred grand for a cape? With bullet holes in it? Priceless! (The item in the story, not the cape itself, you understand.) This was so very typical of Clark.

And whether or not you develop a response from L. J. Lane, this is a quality story. I know that you'll get e-mail about it for quite some time when it goes to the archive.
