Detective Comics #224 October 1955 Cover art: Win Mortimer and Dick Sprang The Batman Machine Script: Bill Finger Pencils: Dick Sprang Inks: Charles Paris Batman unmasked! If only the cover and the splash page hadn't already given away the fact that there is a Batman robot in the story, so it's not...

It pays to keep an eye on Ollie's if you have one nearby. Found movie deco G1 Preceptor for $10 today. I always love a bargain G1 reissue.

Finishing up Batman #94: The New Batman Script: Edmond Hamilton? Pencils: Sheldon Moldoff Inks: Stan Kaye The only other time I can remember Alfred wearing the Batman costume was in Batman #22, April-May 1944 in "The Duped Domestics!", and I think he did it to try and impress his would-be ...

For me it's been Batman and Superman via the DC omnibuses. Superman isn't as popular as he used to be, but the character was a sales juggernaut in the 50s and 60s, and of course Batman has spent a long time now as DC's most popular character. Hard to believe he was almost cancelled due to low sales...

The Flash #219 December 1972-January 1973 The Fate of an Archer! Script - Denny O'Neil Art - Neal Adams Two months have passed. The final chapter of the story opens with Black Canary in a phone booth when a car hits it, throwing her clear and badly injuring her. Fortunately for her she was on the p...

Just finished the original 66 issue run of Silver Age X-Men. It really ends like they know the series is over. It's strange to be reading these from the future already knowing the juggernaut this franchise becomes. I enjoy reading the early issues of some of these characters, knowing how popular th...

The Flash #218 October-November 1972 Green Arrow is Dead! Script - Denny O'Neil Pencils - Neal Adams Inks - Dick Giordano As the bomb goes off, Hal gets a shield up just in time to protect himself and the teenagers from being killed. He stuffs them in trash cans to keep them "on ice" and ...

Just an observation on movie-deco Kickback and Optimus Prime: sometimes the cartoon-inspired paint schemes are really flat and hide molded details rather than enhancing them. What works on a 2D animation model doesn't really translate well to a 3D figure. I like the novelty of having a brand new Kic...

Green Lantern moved into the Flash as backup stories with the cancellation of his own series, and would stay there for four years, I think. The Flash #217 August-September 1972 The Killing of an Archer! Script - Denny O'Neil Pencils - Neal Adams Inks - Dick Giordano "Noble" is not a word I...

Green Lantern/Green Arrow #88 February-March 1972 An almost all-reprint issue, includes Summons from Space, The Menace of the Marching Toys (unprinted Alan Scott story intended for GA Green Lantern #39) and The Origin of Green Lantern's Oath! The omnibus does not reprint this issue, so on to issue ...
