Waiting in the car for my youngest to get out of therapy and rereading All-Star Superman for a local “books with pals” event. I am struck by just how much Gunn really did use this as a template in ways I wasn’t thinking about when I first heard that.

And She-Hulk would support nsfw on BlueSky too. 💫

Ah, 1939. Gotta love it. This was the Dr. Death story, which my pal @brendantobin.bsky.social brilliantly parodied a few years back.

#Batmanday is a great day to learn about Batman's formative creators beyond Bill Finger and Bob Kane. Jerry Robinson, Sheldon Moldoff, and, obviously, Gardner Fox all deserve shoutouts. Fox gave Batman his utility belt and batarang in the Golden Age, and then co-created the Silver Age Batgirl! Etc!

BARBARA GORDON This is the 1967 first appearance of Batgirl, Barbara Gordon and first Silver Age appearance of Killer Moth 🦇 Babs is my favorite DC Comics character. Not Batgirl, not Oracle, it’s Barbara Gordon. 💥 Barbara Gordon YouTube Short will be out tonight! 💫

Writer Gardner Fox. In addition to creating the Justice Society of America, the Justice League of America, and numerous other DC comics characters, he also created Batman’s utitlity belt & batarang, and cocreated the Barbara Gordon version of Batgirl. #BatmanDay

Artist Sheldon Moldoff, one of Bob Kane's main ghost artists, he also cocreated Poison Ivy, Mr. Zero (later renamed Mr. Freeze), Bat-Mite, the original Bat-Girl & Batwoman, Ace the Bathound, and more. #BatmanDay

Gardner Fox 🤝 Lovecraft allusions

77 years ago - Gardner Fox was bang on.

Remembering Comics Legend and personal inspiration of mine JOE KUBERT on his birthday. Celebrating the Maestro by working on some comics pages today. 🥂

I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone mention Agent Carter yet...

Another week, another Comics Collective call for emails! Our email is open for your "Justice League: The Silver Age Volume One" questions! Ask us about the DC Silver age at [email protected]

#NCBD Quick Pick: The complete Moon Girl series originally out of @eccomics.bsky.social sees a fancy reprint collection at shops today! Created by the legendary comics writer Gardner Fox, who co created such characters as the JSA, JLA, The Flash and so many more!!

The Comic Reader #13, Nov 8, 1962 published by Jerry Bails Busy month for comics news: "Stan Lee is introducing a new character in TALES OF SUSPENSE -- Iron Man!" "Also on sale Dec. 10th -- an entire mag devoted to THE AMAZING SPIDERMAN!" Also: "A new war mag in the making -- SERGEANT FURY..."

Have YOU clicked on The Comics Courier Issue 3 campaign's Notify Me on Launch button yet? www.kickstarter.com/projects/tif...

Dang, this Hawkman cover to Brave and the Bold #44 by Joe Kubert looks even better in stark black-and-white.

From Last years Zero Hour 30th anniversary special! Enjoy

Campus was closed this morning due to unrelated police activity, so I got to enjoy some lunch time reading before heading into work. The format of The Comics Courier is such a great choice. I hope we see many more issues. 😍

I’m relieved to hear she will be retuning. Hopefully, she will get a chance to shine. 🤞🤞🤞

The funniest episode of First Wave, by far, was because of Graham Greene. Knowing our hero, Cade Foster, breaks into something in almost every episode, I about died during this whole scene. Greene's facial expressions and line delivery were perfection. 😂

😂👏

Today is the birthday of my favorite comic book writer, the very gifted Otto Binder (Aug. 26, 1911-Oct. 13, 1974). Cocreator of Mary Marvel, Supergirl, the Mighty Sampson, Kid Eternity, Krypto, Brainiac, the Legion of Superheroes, Black Adam, Lucy Lane, Tawky Tawny, & many more.

It'll never be not funny how DC Comics' history of universes starts with Earth-Two instead of Earth-One, because Gardner Fox just couldn't help himself.

Man, I think we ALL remember the day the harlots ran wild in Canal Town. (was just researching this book and found out it's YET ANOTHER one actually written by Gardner Fox.

my statement on Ai from the mini-comic I'm making as syllabus for a new class I'm teaching this fall. It's simple, but I pretty much said all I have to say on it - it robs you of decisions and struggle - and the joy of being surprised. It robs you of learning...

Gygax credited one of Gardner Fox's short stories (later republished as a Conan story) as having the description he lifted and used in original D&D. (Fox is also credited for creating Golden Age comic heroes Hawkman, Sandman, Jay Garrick, and Batman's utility belt.)

CAN WE GET SOMEONE TO REWRITE/REMAKE THE FIRST ARC OF JOHNS JUSTICE LEAGUE, BUT AS A GARDNER FOX COMIC TO GO ALONG WITH THIS! I'D PAY FOR THAT

On this day in 1964, Zatanna made her debut in Hawkman #4 by Gardner Fox and Murphy Anderson!

Post a non religious picture you think of as holy

Commission by me from 2021 featuring the Justice Society of America. Enjoy!

My contacts at U of Oregon have asked to circulate this to-do list + this list of contacts to call and write to speak against the proposed evisceration of several programs (and termination of affiliated tenure-track, tenured, and career faculty). For context: newsletter.uauoregon.org/after-accept...

Thank you so much!! 😊 I'm glad you agree about the scrapbook. I had so much to say about it that I wrote a blog post on the subject too! comicfanjennifer.wordpress.com/2018/06/08/g...

"The next character in this era is Super-Chief, who debuted in All-Star Western #117 by Gardner Fox and Carmine Infantino. Super-Chief's classic incarnation was a 15th-century Native American who gained superhuman powers after exposure to a meteorite." www.cbr.com/james-gunn-s...

A quick Jay Garrick sketch at @terrificon.bsky.social last weekend. Every time I draw Jay, I seem to channel @johnwesleyshipp.bsky.social because he was so good on the CW Flash show!

I love the varying art styles! I’m excited for this! 😆🤞

Truly the end of an era…

Tim Truman on how he developed Hawkworld, from an interview by Gary Groth in The Comics Journal #144:

SUPERMAN This is the 1961 first Silver Age appearance of Hawkman and Hawkgirl 💥 Hawkman has been around a very long time, appearing in the 1940 Flash Comics # 1. Shiera Sanders appears also but becomes Hawkgirl in the 1941 All-Star Comics # 5. Last of Us, Isabela Merced plays Hawkgirl in Superman! 💫

Realized the below image cropped off Ben's face so I had to look up the sequence on Marvel Unlimited because his frightened expression is just so priceless.
