I Knew it Was Too Good To Be True.

As I get set to close the book on Alan Scott, I thought “Hey, what do you know – a Golden Age DC run with no spanking!”

Me and my big mind…

The smile on Alan Scott’s face is creeping me out.

    Alan looks like he’s rather enjoying watching Doiby get spanked.

    Is that a male or female tree??? It kinda looks like Stump, one of the alien tree people from TMNT Adventures.

    Cool! Now this is what I call imagination and originality! A power ring and walking trees!! No, wait a minute… Didn’t JRR Tolkien think something of the sort a bit earlier? -Sigh-

    If it’s a female tree, that means GL has finally found the Entwives! Go tell Treebeard!!

    Alan´s cape: magnetism or martian power?

    By the way, Alan´s fashion sense is terrible: black mask, red shirt, green pants, grey (?) cape and Jack Kirby boots. Looks like he grabbed the first thing he saw and his closet and called it uniform.

    Well, he may have THOUGHT of it, but he didn’t PUBLISH it until 1954. If you’re looking for a precedent for walking trees, though, check “The Wizard of Oz”. Or “Macbeth”. 🙂

    I rather like the expressions here. Doiby just looks utterly confused by the situation (and who can blame him?), and Alan looks like he’s having a gas. Note that the latter isn’t doing anything to help the former, either.

    I stand corrected… Wow! I clumsily Didn’t bother to see this cover was made almost a decade earlier until I read your post! Thanks.

    You think that’s bad? It looks like someone’s inflated his left arm or something. Talk about martian anatomy

    How convienent that Alan’s ring does not work against woody…I mean wood!

    So poor Doiby is in big trouble and quite helpless!

    I’m even more creeped out by being reminded ot the Redneck Trees from Something Positive.

    “I rather like the expressions here. Doiby just looks utterly confused by the situation (and who can blame him?), and Alan looks like he’s having a gas.”

    While the tree looks…. Creepy? Angrily happy? Happily spiteful? Mental?

    “It looks like someone’s inflated his left arm or something. Talk about martian anatomy…”

    I think it’s just his shoulder, swollen to the size of his backside. Very odd.

    On a side note, though bananas are technically a herb and don’t grow on ‘trees’, their plants are known as ‘walking trees’ because they move around a bit. Which is nice.

    *sings* Casper, the friendly ghost,
    burning trees on the Moon,
    when Doiby tries to help him,
    he gets a burning moon (or boom, whatewer rhimes best).

    Ten cents to peep a woody spank, it’s almost given !

    On next issue for 20 cents : Zatana takes off her tights and starts pole-dancing !

    It ain’t no fun being ass raped by a tree.

    Heh, if it’s a Redneck Tree, Doiby’s lucky all he’s getting is a spanking. Then again, maybe that’s just foreplay…
