Photographer's caption reads, "Superman relaxed in his living room. He passed a pipe graciously around to the group - myself, his girlfriend Bonnie, a Ph.D. student in psychology, and his good friend the Incredible Hulk, who turns out to be a short black guy with bad teeth. Superman took a hit. He popped a sequence of rare 1948 Superman serials into the VCR. He showed me some of his ninety Lois Lane autographs. Eventually, he settled back on the couch. Outside, I heard police sirens. Help was needed somewhere, but Superman wasn't going anywhere in a hurry."
