Modesty Blaise: "The Bluebeard Affair," featuring a Dude in Distress

[stolisomancer]

Following the sudden death of Jim Holdaway in 1970, Erich Romero took over the art job on the "Modesty Blaise" strip for much of the rest of its run. In 1972's "The Bluebeard Affair," Romero had not yet evolved into the pin-up artist he was in the later strips, and while he never misses a chance to draw a good-looking woman, he comes off here more like he's trying to mimic Holdaway's style. It's interesting to see his early work, since this is, after all, the "Axa" guy.

This arc is collected in the Titan Books volume The Gallows Bird, along with "The Iron God" and "The Hanging Judge."

Detective Comics #815 - Some Great Alfred Moments

[zapbiffpow]

First shot at a post, sorry if there's any problem!

We've seen it from Dick Grayson in Batman and Robin's first run: if these pages from Detective Comics #815 are any indication, stepping into the boots of Batman entails losing a certain skill. Can you guess what it is?
