From 1946’s CAPTAIN MARVEL ADVENTURES #48. Thanks, Andrew!
Shaq Wins! Hooray For Shaq!
Sometimes I do them just for me, but you too can experience the magic of LEGO Lasersharks.
This image and much more glorious senseless violence can be found in the recent Scud: The whole Shebang trade paperback.
…Didja miss me?
Golden Age Batman can be seen punching out dogs, criminals, sailors, giant stone Indians, and–of course–the evil Chinaman in DC’s Batman Chronicles v.4. It’s pretty much all he does.
And tomorrow, the ISB returns in full force with a spine-tingling Spooktoberfest Movie Review! Don’t miss it!
Tonight’s vision of barbaric awesomeness hails from “The Long Night of Fang and Talon” by–who else?–Roy Thomas, John Buscema, and Ernie Chan, and is slightly edited from the original version found in Dark Horse’s Chronicles of Conan v.12.
Thanks to the hours I’ve spent reading through Michael Fleisher’s exhaustively researched Batman Encyclopedia (the indispensable resource containing the information that, yes, Batman and Ben Franklin have met each other on more than one occasion), my interest in Batman’s Golden Age adventures has been rekindled lately.
Not that it was ever gone, what with the fact that it’s an era primarily characterized by Batman beating criminals with other criminals, but while flipping through an issue where a crackpot scientist uses a series of tubes to transport Batman and Robin into a book of fairy tales, I saw something that might be even better.
Ladies and gentlemen…
Oh Golden Age Batman! Is there anything you won’t fight?
