BATMAN'S GOT SOMETHING YOU DON'T (USE SINGSONG VOICE WHEN READING)

 Batman is very, very proud of his diamond-studded Bat-Badge!

SLOW DOWN BATMAN! SAVE SOME FOR US! Part 2...

The Batman:  Still thinking of retirement in the long run and Alfred's Buckwheat Crepes with Mushroom filling in the short run. MMM-MM!!!

SLOW DOWN BATMAN! SAVE SOME FOR US!

This is the exact moment the Golden Age Batman began thinking about retirement:

Sleep on it, brother. Sleep on it.

LOOK, UP IN THE SKY! A BIRD, A PLANE, A...BAT?

Something about this version of the Bat-suit just looks right.  Probably wouldn't like to see it all the time, though.

Great panel, either way!

SHA-ZAY-UM! Billy Batson Goes To The Doctor...

THIS IS JUST TOO CREEPY FOR WORDS!
WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?
PUT THAT SHEET DOWN!
DOCTOR'S NAME IS WHAT!?
LOOK AT THEIR FACES!
SOMETHING HAPPENED HERE!
KNOCKED OUT BY A FALL?
RRIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT.

Superman Takes Care of Robin...

See, Robin?  Everything is okay now that Superman has...

WHATTHEWHATNOW?

Batwoman's First Costume Idea...

...did not go so well.

Her second wasn't so hot, either.


















Third time's the charm!

What?
You didn't think I meant that New 52 wannabe didja?

Regarding The Change of an Established, Golden Age Hero...

From itsalltrue.net.  Too funny not to share.

Things That Went Out With The Golden Age #1...

...or "Words you never hear together" as in weight-gain for women.

Dick Quick...

Real comic.
I cannot make this stuff up.

ReCovered: All Star 3 in Mego form!

For your geeky pleasure, I present one more now with a couple more coming tomorrow.
This is one of my favorites, as I am a big Justice Society fan and have wanted to do this one for a long time.  It took a few years to get these completed and I still change and update.  Would not be at all surprised if another version of this found its way here sometime in the future.

Proper Respect...

This is a Comic Book Foldee.  Fold 'em so the top part connects with another bottom and hilarity ensues.
Came out in 1966, when DC was in the midst of their silver age revival of golden age characters.  Not the 're-imagined' characters, I'm speaking of the original guys making a comeback.  The first was the Golden Age Jay Garrick, the Flash.  Lotsa trumpet blowing and ballyhoo later, the whole Justice Society of America  is back on the scene.  They interact with the Justice League and everyone is happy.
To get these great time-honored icons some extra exposure, DC put some of them on their swag.
In order to give the first cross-over character his just props, they gave him a great reference:
Old Flash.
Yeah, I'd scowl too Jay.



But at least you didn't get the Saturn Girl treatment:



Nothing amiss, you say?
Try the folding trick, it reads "Saturn Girl  The Pig"
Nice.
Where's Matter-Eater-Lad when ya need him?

Covers - All Star Comics 19 by Alex Wright

Once upon a time a long time ago, I used to be a fan of Alex Wright's artwork. Time passed and now I am merely a HUGE fan of Alex Wright's artwork! Alex himself too, actually.
I passed on some samples of his work to Roy Thomas and it resulted in a 1943 calendar for the prozine Alter Ego a few years back. He did some more work for Roy in Alter Ego but for the original hook-up, he asked me if I'd like him to do a cover for me.
I thought about it for a long time, roughly 3 seconds and said yes! I picked one of my favorite covers from the Golden Age of comics: All Star 19 from way back in 1943. Alex did more than justice to the original by Joe Gallagher and it adorns my office to the envy of all who see it.
Hope you like it as much as I do and thanks again, Alex!


(p.s.--although Alex gifted me with a copy of this, it is still his work so don't use it without his permission.)
