By 1981, George Pérez was coming into his own. His pefected self-inked style was still in development, and within just a few years he would have master of his craft. By the late 80s and up until he his horribly unfortunate passing in 2022, he was the unparalleled super hero illustrator in my book. DC……

Atum-Ra – Marvel’s Moon Knight series (2018)
I believe this page/panel is from Volume 8 #200 of Marvel’s Moon Knight series from 2018. Artists for the issue are listed as Paul Davidson, Jacen Burrows, Jeff Lemire, and Bill Sienkiewicz and all I know for certain is that does not look like Sienkiewicz. While most comics-based use of ancient religious deities take massive…
The Big All-American Comic Book #1 (1944)
Wow indeed kid! DCUniverseinfinite isn’t all that infinite when it comes to The Golden Age. The really need to get everything scanned in and make it available. It is so important that this old stuff never gets lost. I really hope that they has every issue of their Golden Age catalog, as well as those…
Camelot 3000 (1982)
I have been very shocked that DC Studios (and prior entities) have not attempted to produce a live adaption of Mike Barr and Brian Bolland‘s phenomenal Camelot 3000 series from the early 1980s. It is one of those self-contained story that would have been excellent source material to go up against Game of Thrones and…
Aqualad (Garth) | Teen Titans Year One (Feb 6, 2008)
I must admit I like the minor redesign of the Silver Age Aqualad for the 2008 Teen Titans Year One story. Garth never really had much presence anywhere, no matter what story he appeared in from the 1960 to the 2000s. DC tried to give him magic powers and such but he’s just not one…
The Legion of Super-Heroes: The Great Darkness Saga (1982)
1982 was an amazeballs years for movies. (Don’t believe me, just go look up the films that were released that year. We haven’t had another year of films like that since!) And it was also a great year for comics. The Legion of Super-Heroes #290-#294 had writer Paul Levitz, illustrator Keith Giffen, and inker Larry…
🎧 XTC – “That’s Really Super, Supergirl” 🎧
Ok. Now I know he’s only producing Supergirl, but James Gunn does (sometimes unfortunately) love his needle drops to songs in films. All I keep thinking is that there’s a solid chance that XTC’s 1986 That’s Really Super, Supergirl may be a needle drop in the forthcoming film? I did not predict Teddybears Punkrocker in…
I think it is a great reimaging of a character.
I wasn’t a huge fan of the last Black Panther film. I mean, it was fine and all, but they should have just recast the lead. Treating actor Chadwick Boseman like he was some sacred actor who couldn’t be replaced and all just was… odd. This is show business. Not show friends. Anyway… the one…
Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton (2025 series)
I haven’t started them yet, but these covers by Jae Lee and June Chung are so beautiful. I’ve loved Jae Lee’s talents for 25 years or so now. Just amazing work. The internal art by Mike Norton appears to be far more mundane and simple though. No idea what the story is about, but I…
I am so very happy I’m out!
I’ve been out of comics since just after DC’s “Final Crisis” series. The cost of physical copies by 2009 had become so beyond their value proposition, that it was just not worth it anymore. Many of the comics we’d read in about 5 minutes and then be like “Oh. That was a waste for that.”…
