(MWGsRules #6/2013). Guy Gardner was a superhero barkeeper, and was shown to knock back more than his share of beers now and...

CaptCleghorn for me.

The Sting
(MWGsRules #5 2013)

Cedic for the Emily lookalike Silence of the Lambs cover.

The brilliant thing about the Hulk (at least in the mid-60's through the 70's) was the different take on the traditional super-hero's weakness: what if you could transform yourself into a...

War Games (obviously!)
(MWGsRules #4 2013)

I liked Night Force a whole lot, but I remember a lot of sloppiness in the scripting. For example, in one of the stories, an early caption mentions that the lead character dropped out of school,...

This is part of Man-Thing's appeal for me. I get a huge kick out of seeing a writer tell a compelling story without access to the standard tools we as readers expect to be provided. So I dig...

thehod. I loved Freedom Force.

In May 1973, I bought these off the stands:
100-Page Super Spectacular DC-19 : I didn't usually buy the Tarzan comics, but I think the Russ Manning reprints in this one appealed to me, as did the...

Pól Rua gets my nod for that touching kangaroo-saving cover.

Paradox posted my favorite this week.

1. Chuck Berry: Aren't they all pretty much the same song? Roll Over, Beethoven, I guess.
2. Elvis Presley: For a Memphian, I've never much liked Elvis. In fact, the world-famous Alex Chilton once...

A very unexpected adaptation of William Henry Hudson's 1904 novel "Green Mansions". I don't remember DC acknowledging this in...

DC actually prepared the first issue of a Gorilla Grodd comic book in the mid-70's, but the series was shelved before it ever got published. Several pages were printed in "Back Issue" no. 15. I...

The first ones to come to my mind are The Eye ( a giant, flaming disembodied floating eyeball) and Doctor Hormone, who fought crime by injecting villains with hormone-filled hypodermics.

A few of them are cheats: Man-Bat is just a Man-Bat story that didn't jibe with the main continuity when it was published, so they slapped an "Elseworlds" logo on there. Kamandi at Earth's End was...

Shawn Hopkins!

But from DC's point of view, Kanigher must have seemed like the smartest bet. He had written Wonder Woman for something like 20 years, keeping her book alive and thriving through years when almost...

I started buying WW off the stands with issue 200, and I loved the Diana Prince incarnation. I can vouch for at least one 12-year-old thinking these issues were dynamite, and especially digging the...

I'm not a Dazzler aficionado, but the woman with the dark skin and long dark hair sounds like Dazzler supporting character Vanessa Tooks, who appeared in issues 17, 19, 20, and 21 of Dazzler. I found...

That's gotta be "Power Pachyderms", right?
