  • More Misogyny in the Mighty Marvel Manner!

    Even in the late 70’s and early 80’s, The Wasp could not catch a break “Sure, there could be people trapped in there, but I’ll be damned if I ruin my makeup!” “Gosharoonies, I know we just saved the world from a menace that was going to destroy it, but I can’t get over the…

  • Poppa Spank!

      That last panel is maybe the most disturbing thing I’ve seen since reading the page of “The Lonely Doll” where Mr. Bear is spanking her. … What? It’s a classic of children’s lit! Anyhow… part of me wanted to cut off that last panel and leave it by it’s lonesome, but frankly, it’s even…

  • Superman Hates Liberty!

    It’s true! I have evidence! First, he destroys a symbol of hope and freedom:   Then, just for kicks, he stays to resist arrest! Edit: Broken link for the second pic. Will fix some day. No Red Kryptonite involved, he really did it.

  • Chips Off The Old Blocks!

    This may be the Ultimate “What Were They Thinking” Super Son Moment. It’s just that messed up.   Not only have the Super-Sons locked their dads in what appears to be a concentration camp, but they’ve “dumped” them for other men. Superman Junior and Green Arrow appear to be rubbing it in rather… forcefully. Although…

  • Wow. I Thought MY Dad Was Strict.

      Miss one curfew and get locked in a room by your dad, using the one substance that can kill you. Seems a bit harsh, don’t you think? Almost all of the Super-Sons stories have great “What Were They THINKING” moments.

  • Feminists are Stupid and EVIL! Part 38.

    In this issue of World’s Finest, the Super Son’s encounter a town with no men. They have some… odd values. Let this be a lesson to anyone who would do “man’s work’! The man’s work in question? Using a ladder.  

  • A Travesty of Justice!

    So what, exactly, is a “travesty”? Is stuffing the jury box a “travesty”? No, it seems that it’s okay. After all, Batman and Superman would never do anything wrong, right? Right. So what’s a travesty? When you lose, despite stacking the deck in your favor. It’s funny, but I have another term for that situation.…

  • That’s an Odd Spot to Target!

      Is there a reason that they’re all aiming for Hellcat’s… area? Draws the eye nicely, it does!

  • “Bad Monkey! No Means NO!”

    Although he arrived too late to stop Monsiuer Mallah from taking Wonder Woman’s virginity, Batman used bat-hypnosis to make the evil ape forget his dire deed. Wonder Woman, unable to achieve closure, slit her wrists the next issue.

  • Black Canary is a Dick.

    Check this cover out: Okay, so Batman can’t see the guy aiming at him – but not only can Canary see him, she’s smiling. I think she’s getting revenge for Bruce kissing her mom that one time.

  • He Undressed Me With His Eyes!

    Wait, so Superman just goes around casually X-raying royalty? Male royalty? And people think Batman is a bit gay?

  • World’s Mightiest Homophobes!

    “… So help me, Beast, I’m going to beat you so badly Fred Phelbs will think I’m too violent!” Geeze Pym… they’re just flowers. It’s not like he mounted you.

  • Bat Santa

    I was going to save this for the Holiday Season, but it’s too good to pass up The moral of the story? Never, ever give a Dark Detective a lump of coal. Ever.

  • Zatanna: Size Queen

    And today, a rare follow up to not one, but two scans. Remember when Zatanna and Supergirl were fighting over the same guy? Well, it looks like Kara got tall, hairy, and smelly. Fortunately, Zatanna met someone else a few years later. Remember the fellow from yesterday’s post? They hooked up:   Yes, that is…

  • The JLA vs… Oh Dear G-d

      It’s the JLA vs a very well-endowed demon. This one can’t be blamed on the innocence of early comics, gang. It’s from right before the Detroit era, early 80’s. I have no idea how this got past editorial. Edit: From JLA # 225.

  • What Yellow Fear Monster?

    Forget Parallax, here’s the real reason Hal destroyed Coast City:   Mind wipes – you just can’t trust them. Besides, isn’t wiping your own mind like performing brain surgery on yourself? (Also, because I am a Very Bad Person, I always hum “Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of my Hair” when I think of…

  • Bat Idiocy.

    This one just bugs me. 1) Why is Batman Scuba Diving in a cape? Why not just put on chains? Fabric gets HEAVY when it’s wet. Plus, there’s the issue of aquadynamics. 2) Killer whales don’t eat humans. Period. Sorry, no funny today. Just stupid.

  • You Wanted Action Bats?

    Okay, we’ll give you action. So, is anyone surprised that Bruce likes it rough? Didn’t think so.

  • “No Action At All”.

    Poor Bruce. With his young, male sidekick out of town, he’s not getting any action. My heart bleeds!

  • I’m Batam!

    “Oh, it’s just a routine rub-out” – yes, that’s right Bruce, and Thomas and Martha Wayne were just victims of a routine mugging. You dick. I bet Whitey Marsh Junior is going to grow up to avenge his father… Unless, you know, it’s the Holidays. PS: Who the heck is “Batam”? Gordon’s been hitting the…

  • Batman? More Like Captain Apathy!

    “Gosharoonie Comish, I’d love to fulfill the vow I made on my parent’s grave, but Macy’s is having a sale!”

  • SFX 101

    Ever wonder what smacking an Avenger on the boobs would sound like? “boont” It’s official, boobs go “boont”.

  • Life and Death, You Say?

    Well then, by all means, come back tomorrow! Jarvis does a good job of keeping out the riff-raff, don’t you think?

  • Before The Final Thrust!

    Prince Namor’s kinda frisky, ain’t he? Who says men aren’t into foreplay?
