I'll GIVE you a Crowning Moment of Awesome!


Whilst winding down Tiny Titans, Art Baltazar was hard at work (with writers like Sarah Hines Stephens and John Sazaklis) on a whole line of kids books all based on the Adventures of the Super-Pets... and not just the ones we're familiar with!

Now these aren't technically comics, but they are derived from the Tiny Titans style, and are heavily illustrated books, so I'm begging a little leeway here, trust me, you won't regret it.





I found a couple of these books on import in a comic store and had to share a couple of scans, because these are FUN!

These scans are from one called "Night of the Scaredy Crows" in which Ace the Bat Hound has to deal with a Scarecrow scheme, and this time, Dr Crane has a sidekick of his own... Croward, the Scare-Crow... who even has his own entry in the Bat Computer.



I'll leave the story to you to find out about (Amazon has plenty of the titles) but I did want to share the last page of the story as Ace celebrates Halloween with all his friends....



Not just Batman and Robin (It's supposed to be Tim I think, at least he's the Robin who has shown up in other stories, usually with his pet Robin-Robin) and Bruce and Dick (Proving yet again that that outfit looks a LOT better in blue) but also Batgirl, Batwoman and Batwing! :) (Along with Bat-Mite, Robin-Robin, Ace, Bat-Cow (Pre Morrisonisation) and I have no idea what Nightwing's chimp is called, but I WANT TO KNOW!!!)

And it that STILL isn't enough awesome for you, feast your eyes on this little spread....



Whether it's Giganta with her pet giraffe, the penguin Green Lantner, Gleek, the Mad Catter (and I think that's a Floronic Man style pet... thing next to him) or even the creepy (and I DO mean creepy) Legion of Undead Pets that accompany Solomon Grundy in another story (Think Pet Semetary... seriously, these are zombie animals) where he fights Swamp Thing and his own swamp critter pets, the amount of insane creativityy that's gone into this is SHOULD be lauded! :)

See how many animals can match to their heroes or villains. Points will be given for creative naming, though be aware that more than you might think are actually from old series (Like the Flash-Turtle is actually the Terrific Whatzit )

since that is Nightwing, shouldn't the Robin be Jason? (his costume makes me think that is Jason...)

(It's supposed to be Tim I think, at least he's the Robin who has shown up in other stories, usually with his pet Robin-Robin

oh... hmm i thought Dick had a pet Robin-Robin

Heh.. I think my favorite bit from the big spread is a scratched-up looking Bizarro-Krypto giving Ruffles a dirty look...

I am officially nominating Detective Chimp as Ralph's...well, not so much pet as furry housemate.

Because he's a chimp AND a detective! That's like Batman and Plastic Man rolled into one. And one time, I disguised myself as a vase for THREE DAYS.

I can completely recommend these books - when the first ones were out some time ago, and they were what really got my son Spawn of Airdrie finally reading. Didn't realize the latest four were out!

Nightwing's pet looks more like a squirrel monkey than a chimpanzee to me.
