For those of you wondering what choice Captain Comet made... Strange Adventures 34  Strange Adventures 67  Strange Adventures 83  Here are some ads from DC from December 1953. What's up with Joker's face?  from June 1966. This reads like a jive talk Ulysses.

FredMSloniker posted:Wow. That's... that's kind of depressing. Being all grim and broody is one thing, but a fart joke? Are they mocking him? Are they even real, or is he having guilt-related hallucinations? I took it as a rather poor attempt to cheer him up with some humor, from the context. It didn't work, and was probably in bad taste, but that's family.

The only way it could be worse is if the letters were scribbled on there in poor handwriting. Oh, and in terms of helping with the source, unfortunately all I know is that it is one of the two times (yes, two times) that Jimmy Olsen swapped minds with a gorilla. A quick search tells me it should be Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen #24 CzarChasm fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Mar 9, 2013 |

Kind of jerk for Perry to decide that Jimmy should be called "Bonzo" just because he happens to be a gorilla.

muscles like this? posted:Kind of jerk for Perry to decide that Jimmy should be called "Bonzo" just because he happens to be a gorilla. That's great, but I think my favorite detail is that Jimmy bothered to track down a Big N' Tall version of his trademark green suit. edit: I lied. The best part is the exclamation marks on the sign.

Jimmy's being quite brave and progressive. Instead of being all "oh no I'm a monster, a monster! Don't look at meeee!" and hiding away somewhere, he's out there living his life loud and proud. "Yeah, I'm a gorilla. So what? I'm gonna keep on doing what I do. You deal with it."

Olsen's just jaded at the weird poo poo he transforms at this point. Grant Morrison had a pretty great analysis of the stuff he transformed on his comics.  Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen 53.

Man, when did Cain become such a laid-back dude? I haven't read too much of I,Vampire since his first appearance, when he was mainly all "GRAR I WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD"

Darth Nat posted:Man, when did Cain become such a laid-back dude? I haven't read too much of I,Vampire since his first appearance, when he was mainly all "GRAR I WILL TAKE OVER THE WORLD" To stop him from well, taking over the world like you said, Constantine and the Justice League Dark siphon most of his energy and send it into Andrew Bennett. Bennett spends a while as vampire king/Jesus until he decides to just straight up cure vampirism by sucking it all up into himself... which makes him just as much of a threat as Cain was (if not more so). Then Cain hangs with the good guys for a while while they plot, but then he takes off to go do... this. tl;dr: He lost most of his power and so had to become much more chill.

Jim Shooter likes to tell people that a kid with the last name of Marko used to torture STan Lee when he was a kid and that he allegedly had the Norman Osborn/Sandman hair as well and that's why it worked it's way into comics. It's 100% BS but it's still a fun story and Shooter gets really animated telling it.

It is perhaps telling that in his very first appearance, Sandman broke into Peter Parker's high school and tried to threaten the headmaster into writing him a diploma.
