I have been a major fan of the original Donna Troy Wonder Girl characters throughout all of her evolutions and “career changes” up to Infinite Crisis era. Marv Wolfman and George Pérez’s New Teen Titans (Vol 1) and everything they did with her are essential to my personal comics lore. Pérez brought such amazing life…

Sasha Wood of Casually Comics!
I know I’ve mentioned her before, but I need to say it again, one of the truly great pleasures of my geek life is when Sasha from Casually Comics (@CasuallyComics) drops her new weekly video. There are a few others I watch in “ComicsTube”, but by far, the single most entertaining viewpoint for me is…
The Real Captain Marvel by Walt Simonson!
I think I saw this posted over on the Book of Face. I’m not sure what book it is from, as I do not believe I was ever aware of Walt Simonson doing ANYTHING with Captain Marvel in it! I would die to read a Simonson Marvel Family book! That would be epic! If you…
🔥 How The Justice Society Changed Comics Forever! 🔥
My favorite comics YouTuber Casually Comics has dropped a video on the first appearance of my all-time favorite super hero team the Justice Society of America. “How The Justice Society Changed Comics Forever!” dropped yesterday and as always, Sasha does an amazeballs job in doing a deep dive into All-Star Comics #3 from 1943 and…
The Golden Age Tarantula (Sorta-Kinda)
So back in the long long ago of DC Comics, referred to as The Golden Age, superhero costumes/uniforms were relatively simple, with colors and such determined by the simple newsprint printing technology of the time. Hence, why so many characters where in bright primary colors and/or colorful in general. There was a period where Wesley…
The New Teen Titans (1980–1996)
My friend D*** also turned me onto DC’s The New Teen Titans during it’s first year or so. I think I was 1at the time. This would also be the first time I was really aware of writer Marv Wolfman and artist George Pérez and Pérez would go onto become the GOAT of super hero…
Tellus – Bronze Age Legion of Super-Heroes (1985-1994)
My friend D*** turned me onto the Legion of Super-Heroes around 1981 or so. I became quite a fan in my teen years, especially as the mid-80s hit and then Post-Crisis with the eventual 5 Year Later Legion. I lost interest after the introductions of the clones Legionairres and the eventual Zero Hour full reboot….
The Golden Age Superman
The Golden Age Superman I was never a huge fan of Superman as a kid. That is until I discovered there was such a thing as the original Golden Age Superman still out there living on Earth-Two with his wife Lois. He eventually become the Editor-In-Chief of The Daily Star and one day, even his…
The Golden Age Catwoman
The original Who’s Who Entry for the Golden Age Selina Kyle appeared in Who’s Who: The Definitive Directory of the DC Universe #4 (1985). Selina doesn’t look a day over 30 for a woman who is 85 years old! (Well, from her first appearance in 1940!) I’ve always loved Selina. And I am still so…
The New Teen Titans #2 (Volume 2) – Pérez Art
I can still remember when both The New Teen Titans and Legion of Super-Heroes shifted to having both a newsstand book and then the main books being done in the then new Baxter paper format. Of course, while the improved paper and printing were a godsend in some instances, it definitely contributed to what eventually…
