Original Toronto Star caption: You saw him take his clothes off atop and Daily Planet building in all these Superman adventures all those years ago. Well; Clark Kent; alias actor Kirk Alyn; did his Superman bit one more time on the roof of the Toronto Star building during his visit to the city as a guest of 600 comie book fans attending a science-fiction convention. Almost; that is. When you're 64; it could be embrassing being seen running around in a skin-tight suit with an S on your chest.
