Dudes in Distress Week - Oh come on, you MUST have known I'd be doing something like this (Pt1)
Feb. 5th, 2012 12:45 pm![[personal profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
icon_ukAs the sun sets (or rises depending on time difference) on scans_daily's "Dude in Distress Week" (and thank you to the mods for it and to everyone who contributed such great issues), I thought I'd make a couple of posts featuring my favourites... First post will be some commissions, the second post will be some classic moments from the past, and the third will be my nomination for perfect "Dude in Distress" issue. And yes, I should probably apologise in advance for the sheer Robin-centricity of them, but frankly you should know me better by now! :D If cute guys in pixie boots aren't you're thing, please feel free to skip them all.

The Return of Firestorm!
Feb. 4th, 2012 10:47 pmskjamFirestorm's first comic book series kind of turned into a limited series when one of the periodic industry downturns hit DC and they had to axe a bunch of titles. But the concept and design of the character were pretty cool, so it was decided to give the character another shot.
To start "pushing" the character, the folks at DC decided to have him guest star with Superman in "DC Comics Presents", the "Superman teams up with people" book.
Five and two-thirds pages from DC Comics Presents #17 "The Ice Slaves of Killer Frost!"
( I need fire, to melt the frozen heart within me )
Your thoughts and comments?
SKJAM!

Probably my last Christmas posting... and it's Robins all the way... pretty much
Dec. 25th, 2011 08:59 amicon_ukBefore I head off to enjoy Christmas with my family, I thought I'd share some new images with my s_d family... and it being Christmas, it's Robin time! (As I've mentioned before, the European robin is a bird aassociated with winter and Christmas, not spring.

pyrotwilightWell with my previous post (with Lionheart and the JLI) the portion known as the Outbreak has ended we now begin the Earthplague portion of Bloodlines.
Admittedly this story seems a bit dated given the technology focus of the story but it's still one of my favorites. Now watch in awe (or is it despair) as Robin meets the Psyba-Rats.
18 pages from a 56 page story.
( Time for the Psyba-Rats to cut in! )

Nov. 15th, 2009 11:22 pmicon_ukSo what better way to launch our new location than some more images from the 1980's DC Style Guide by Garcia-Lopez and Dick Giordano?
Some plain, good old-fashioned loveliness.... Following on from the Wonder Woman one here, and the Batclan one here, here are a few more DC icons in classic form.
( From the days when excellent anatomy was a GIVEN.... )

icon_uk.insanejournal.comChances are that if you owned ANY DC licensed merchandise in the late 70's or early 80's it either featured art by, or based on, work done by Jose-Luis Garcia-Lopez and Dick Giordano, two stalwarts of the organisation, who produced acres of top notch, lovely licensing art.
The art would be used from notepads to action figures, from t-shirts to underoos, and so had to be both simple and stylish, easily reproduced and instantly recognisable. They could hardly have asked for better!
The attached pics are scanned as best I can, and hopefully might bring a little happiness to your desktop should you wish to tweak them that way.

Oct. 6th, 2009 08:27 pmscottyquick.insanejournal.comA really sweet little story by George Perez and Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez that I read the other day and thought y'all might like.
Collected, along with many other cool stories, in the pretty Wonder Woman: Destiny Calling.

Not Going Silently in the Night
Sep. 20th, 2009 04:09 pmtrelas.insanejournal.comAbout a week ago I did a post about, where I expressed some opinions about the general evolution of fight scenes in comic books and the difficulties in having two established characters face off in a fight. I also posted some scenes which I intended to exemplify different ways to fail in writing a good fight scene, but I promised to later do a post in which I would focus on fights where a character is essentially squashed by a superior opponent and still managing to come off relatively strong. I doubt that it will come to a huge surprise to anyone that the character squashed in these scenes will be Batman, but I'm certain you all also understand that we all have our dangerous obsessions, which limit our ability to enjoy normal. Anyway, to the scans themselves.

icon_uk.insanejournal.comSomeone who has just done me a brilliant sketchcard (which you'll see soon enough, believe me it's a thing of utter beauty) mentioned he'd like to see a sample of the "Robin goes back to the circus" stories that we've posted here and on S_D 1.0, so this repost from there is for Sonny, a thoroughly nice guy who I hope will see fit to join us here if he's interested.
I know that when he was in the Titans Dick got used to be carried through the air by Starfire, but honestly....
It's a purely fun blast from the past from DC Comics Presents #31, written by Gerry Conway and drawn by Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez with inks from Dick Giordano (Always a killer combination for classic DC characters) - Where Superman hoists an elephant, Robin battles a half-and-half hermaphrodite and Jimmy and Lois show why Clark really IS the brains of the Daily Planet's star trio.
A few of the scans aren't the greatest quality because it's an old, old comic now!
Not so much "Not Dial-up friendly" but "Actively dial-up hostile".

Atari Force (Two) - One Perfect Moment
Jun. 11th, 2009 03:32 pmkabukiokami.insanejournal.comMy very first post. I thought it would be appropriate to contribute to the community what I consider to be the perfect moment of the first comic that caught and held my interest, DC's Atari Force (Two)

One Perfect Moment: JLA
Jun. 10th, 2009 04:47 pmfaile_neume.insanejournal.com
Despite the fact that these scans are hilarious, I also think they really represent what a good Justice League is all about. I'll go into detail after the pictures. This is from JLA: The Hypothetical Woman, written by Gail Simone (which would explain why it is so awesome) with art by Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez.

Master Post: Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez
Apr. 9th, 2009 11:24 amzegas.insanejournal.comEver since the recent demise of scans_daily I had been wondering if there was any to save all of the old mega posts that I did at s_d covering a number of artists and stories that I loved. I started another LJ profile, "master_post", for the sole purpose of archiving all those old posts as well as continuing with tons more, starting with Garcia-Lopez (I've cross posted at non-scans just in case)! Please feel free to friend "master_post" and I hope you guys don't mind if I post the rare update once in a while here. In any case, I hope you like the Garcia-Lopez material!
