• Is That…

    …ew This is one colorist’s error from being Wonder Bukake. (Circa Brave and The Bold 63) (two today, since they’re so small)

  • HAH!

    Well no wonder Namor, The Hulk, and the Silver Surfer are always so mopey! Explains why Clea’s pissed all the time too. This image is from Defenders # 4. Should now be working.

  • I Quiver With Anticipation.

    I’m almost done with Iron Man volume 1. After that, I have a true gem to read. Bad science, goofy villains, cheesy romance. Yes, it’s practically the poster child for “What WERE They Thinking?” I speak, of course, of THE FLASH. Pure Silver Age Goodness. I debated reading the Adventure Era Legions I have, but…

  • Flowery Talk Can Backfire.

    “Of course there’s an “unpleasantness” in the dungeons you stupid goon! That’s the whole bloody point of them!” Good help is so hard to find these days, don’t you think? Although now I’m wondering about something… Isn’t it odd that a character named “The Executioner” locks his foes in a dungeon instead of, well, executing…

  • That’s Not Going In The Cannon.

    Fortunately, Scalphunter saved Batman before it could be inserted in his “batcave—. Jumping out of a tree and stabbing someone in the chest counts as saving them, right? Because that’s what it looks like Scalphunter is aiming to do up there. Still, it beats what those Confederate Reenactment dudes want to stick where, right?

  • Anyone Know “Finnish”?

    Okay, I’m sure that’s not what the language is called…. but can anyone translate this: http://www.kvaak.fi/keskustelu/index.php?topic=4318.msg70147 ? Thanks in advance!

  • Maybe This Is Too Soon…

    Yeah well, trust me lady: you’ve got a better chance with Tony. Just trust me. Tales of Suspense #39) Also, thanks Jim MacQuarrie for filling in for me while I was unavailable.

  • And You Thought YOUR Relationship was screwed up.

    World’s Finest #42 has forced me to view the Lois Lane/Superman dynamic in a whole new light. The premise is that a bunch of aliens are going to destroy the Earth if Superman doesn’t go and collect some samples of the local fauna for them. In other words, they’re willing to travel hundreds of light…

  • The Hulk vs A One Eyed Monster

    “Oh dear G-d,” shouts the soldier in the bottom left “They aren’t fighting!” Image from The Incredible Hulk #103 P.S.: Typo Lad is observing the Holy Days, so I (MacQuarrie) am handling the updates for him today and tomorrow. Sorry for the delay this morning; I’m west coast and he’s on the east.

  • Dial M for Mandarin!

    Okay, explain this to me, folks. The Mandarin is an “evil genius”. The Mandarin lives in the “remote vastness of Red (sic) China.” Yet, the Mandarin has the English letter “M” on his chest! What the heck? (Oh and Fu Manchu called: he wants his mustache back). Thank you Tales of Suspense # 50.

  • Even Gordon Thinks Superman is a Dick.

    I don’t know what’s funnier: Batman basically agreeing that Superman likes to play G-d. Or: Commissioner Gordon, of all people, criticizing someone for vigilantism. Hey Jim? That guy next to you in the funny mask? Your bestest buddy in the whole world? He’s a vigilante!

  • Super-Traitors!

    Wow. Superman and Batman are pro-abortion. And they’re branded as traitors for it, too! That, and believing in silly ideas like life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Those damn traitors. I bet they didn’t believe that there were WMDs in Iraq either! Source: World’s Finest #234.

  • Avengers Fund Raising.

    Sadly, Peitro’s idea of a bikini carwash failed to raise the needed funds. Note to Quicksilver: The Beast and Speedos are not a good combo. Seriously though, 2k a month to live in a Mansion? Sweet deal… even with inflation.

  • More Fun With The Wasp!

    Ripped from Tales of Suspense #59! My personal favorite line in there is Cap’s: “The trouble with girls is they all act like females!” Poor Cap. He’d much rather be “scaring the leopard” with Rick than waiting for a dumb ol’™ girl. [Posted with hblogger 2.0 http://www.normsoft.com/hblogger/]

  • Double Take.

    Double-Take. I seriously had to check the panel three times to make sure what I thought was going on was not, in fact, what was happening. This is from a World’s Finest from the 80’s, BTW.

  • Iceman Gets “The Talk”

    You know, as awkward as it was when I hard to learn about puberty, at least I didn’t have to hear it from a Norse taker of the dead. I love this bit: “Even I once had a mortal woman partake of my nature.” Okay, I read the entire run of The Defenders, so I…

  • The Flesh! The FLESH!

    Okay, whoever had the bright idea of shoving The Blob into a speedo needs a good smacking. Coupled with the no shoes look, you can’t help but think that he’s going into battle in his birthday suit. … Oh dear G-d, I just pictured “little Fred Dukes”. Maybe if I pour Drain-O in my ears..?

  • Okay, Read This One CAREFULLY.

    From Tales of Suspense #46: So Iron Man defeats the Crimson Dynamo by faking a tape of his boss ordering his death. Forgetting the rather interesting idea that ol’ Crimsy can’t tell his boss’s voice from Iron Man, let me share that real twist with you. Iron Man gets The Crimson Dynamo a job at…

  • Super Desecration!

    Every now and then, someone will start a discussion on CBR about what religion Superman is. I’m guessing not Christian. Why? World’s Finest 286, that’s why! He keeps his promise, too! He’s hurled it so fast it’s caught fire. So yeah, Superman: not a Christian.

  • Hawkeye’s Super Secret Origin.

    As many geeks know, Clint Barton started out as a bad guy. But do you know why this beloved carny went bad? Let’s peel back the curtain of time and look at Takes of Suspense # 57… This is why you should never be too critical of your partners, ladies and gents. Incidentally, this also…

  • Super Tease.

    All the way at the end of the run of World’s Finest, this was probably Superman’s 300th attempt on Batman’s life. At this point, I was kind of yelling “So do it already! You big tease!”

  • Let ’em Burn.

    Since the WTFness of today’s previous post has been disputed, I decided to give a second panel. Ladies and gentleman, the World’s Greatest Hero!

  • Gee, THIS is Fair.

    That’s right Batman, take the gun and shoot the invulnerable Kryptonian. That’ll be effective.

  • Whoopsy!

    Oooops. Really, with friends like Superman, who needs enemies?
