As promised, this is the second mega-posting to celebrate the end of "Dude(s) in Distress Week", dealing with published images... (This is sort of a "Greatest Hits", as much of it has been posted before)

The history of the "Dude in Distress" in graphical literature is a long and noble one... there are probably medieval woodcuts showing that sort of thing, but as that slightly predates most of the usual area of scans_daily, we'll skip to something vaguely more recent... well, relatively speaking.

LOTS of scans under the cut, but I've used smallish thumbnails so as not to kill your broadband completely! Just stun it slightly...

( Over a century of Dudes in Distress )

Definitely a contender for the loveliest art on a deathtrap (outside of my own commissions of course ;) )

( Please excuse the scan quality of a 26 year old comic )

Greetings, Ladies and Gentlemen! Chocochuy reporting for duty.

The Bat-Family has always been one messed up yet interesting heroic family on comic books. Just like Hirohiko Araki's Jojo no Kimiyo na Bouken, the Bat-Family has always offered us thousands of generational stories where justice is delivered on multiple levels as Batman and Robin change identities constantly. There's not a doubt that Batman and his family offer us an endless galaxy of stories, sometimes under comedy like the works of Black Cat and sometimes as drama. Well, today I conducted a brief exploration of art related to Batman on Pixiv and found me some neat pictures of the Bat-Family. I am honored at sharing them with you, comrades. Enjoy!

( Family and Friendship )

...is an unexpected one, but as it means more Batman and Sons for is, a decidedly pleasant one!

Over the next couple of days, I hope to post a couple of Christmas tales to entertain and amuse, going from both ends of the spectrum in terms of characters, but to start the season off right I am delighted to continue a scans_daily tradition in the form of a special Christmas card from one of our favourite artists....

( Revenge is a dish best served with tinsel! )

In my opinion? This issue was quite drastically better than the last one.

( Thank God. Three pages beneath the cut. )

And you know me, when I find cute I like to share it!

( First up, some Dustin Nguyen... )

A couple of desperately cute pics from DeviantArt-ist TwinEngima

( Batmen and Robins', but not the ones you think )

The burning question - Arkham City Nightwing - Fingerstripes or not?

( The answer is in )

And a couple more items from Al Bigley which I just got in... First an addition to my "Cypher and Warlock" collection.

"Right Warlock, I can see a mugging down the road, none of the other New Mutants are around, so I need you to make me look like a proper street fighting superhero, someone badass, someone who can hold their own in a fight... I need to be... a caped crusader!"

( Self is happy to comply for selfsoulfriendcypherdoug! )

Well, I don't know about you, but I feel better after that!

( Fanart contains S.O.S (Scenes of Shirtlessness.) )

Since its Fanart Thursday here's a collection of artwork from random searches on DeviantArt. Enjoy :)

Current Mood: happy

So, the first issue of Red Hood and The Outlaws was... surprising.

So much so that I'm not sure what I thought of it. At all. It was very much an introductory issue, and as such it focuses mainly on who the three main characters are, and how they relate to each other. What is clear is that Roy, Jason and Kory have all had extensive changes and/or additions made to their back stories. I've posted three pages that I think illustrate this below the cut.

( SPOILERS! Beneath the cut. (Serious, serious spoilers) )

I needed this after the week at work I've just had, let me tell you...

After a well deserved rest, The Black Cat is back in action, with the continuation of the story teased at a while back.. "Ace in the Hole"

( Can you guess which Batclan member we meet in this story, based on the title? )

Late addition: A selection of icons can be found here

And it IS Thursday....

( IMAGE HEAVY: Spectacularly large number of art from people I watch on dA. )

Otherwise my reputation would be in tatters!

From DC's solicitations for November!

( Robins, Robins, Everywhere! )

Since we never really got much post-Crisis Robin!Jason in the first place, and he's more often than not retroactively written as being more of a bad seed than he actually was (stealing the Robin costume in Nightwing Year One vs. being given the Robin costume in Batman 410).

Mike W. Barr wrote post-Crisis Jason as closer to his pre-Crisis incarnation, so I was also hoping to see more of an amalgamation of the two, or at the very least something a bit closer to post-Crisis Jason.

It was also nice to see a young Jason!Robin not being written as constantly angry, "thuggish", punk-like, etc. It seems like too often many fans, creators and editors forget that Jason as Robin was heroic and did heroic acts. Thankfully, Barr didn't forget.

( Jason was a Good Robin! )

( Couple of bits, some huge ones though )
