Talk:Fortress of Solitude

message: The Fortress of Solitude first appeared in Superman #58 (May-June 1949 cover date). In the third story of this issue, "The Case of the Second Superman", not only does Superman use the name "Fortress of Solitude" for the first time to describe his fort, but he also indicates that it is located "in the polar waste".Heathcliff 01:03, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It is first mentioned in 1949, but not actually depicted until 1958. I have clarified this.  Mandrakos (talk) 15:20, 15 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: This is wrong. In the third story from Superman 58, "The Case of the Second Superman", the fortress is depicted as Superman flies to it with Regor, "the Second Superman", on the last panel on page 5 (this is the panel where Superman calls it his "Fortress of Solitude") and the first four panels on page 6 show the inside of the Fortress.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Heathcliff (talk • contribs) 15:33, 20 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You are absolutely right, Heathcliff. I have made additional corrections and added an external link with a view of the 1949 Fortress. Mandrakos (talk) 07:44, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

message: um...why is Doc Savage's Fortress of Solitude on this page?  It seems like a product of a merger gone wrong.  Either give it its own page or put it on Doc Savage's page, but it definitely does not belong on this page.  -Jaardon (talk) 00:45, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: But of course the fact that the Fortress name and idea is taken from an earlier series is relevant here. At least a bare mention is mandatory -- this is the origin of the page's topic, after all -- and if it were known that some editor who worked on both publications was responsible for carrying the idea over from Savage to Superman, that would also be germane.

thread_title:  Doc Savage's Fortress of Solitude 

message: I have been around Wikipedia for a while now, and I must say, I don't understand this nonsense. I have been to the Antartic many times and I've never even heard about this supposed "fortress." Which government owns it? It's not even on google maps! This article looks like vandalism to me.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.15.63.4 (talk) 18:15, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
