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 )

As 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.

( Like comics... but not! )

I know I maybe late for the week, but my scanner is not working and Dad broke the computer that works the other scanner, and that this guy's distress is about one or two pages long, BUT, considering his situation, it more than worth it. Here is something from Golden Age Batman!

( A REAL reason why not to start a life of crime... )

Sadly, not every example of a dude in distress is a great one... and even the Dynamic Duo have their... less memorable experiences.

( And this was from an anniversary issue too )

From Batman 43, where Batman faces the Penguin...

If a song is to be written about this issue of Batman, I would call it 'Batman's Going Slightly Mad.'

So here's the big Bat Family crossover of the year, and it's being orchestrated by Scott Snyder, so it's bound to be awesome judging from his previous and current output. :)

Before 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.

( The shoes are fine, honest, everyone wears them )

( And the great thing is, they come in a variety of sizes. )

( Awww yeah, Nightwing! )

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! )

icon_uk

...I feel I can post some Christmas-y images over the next few days (including continuing a tradition on scans_daily thanks to the generosity of a favourite artist of the community, who those of you who have been here for a few years will probably be able to guess)

So to start with a little announcement by way of Dustin Nguyen

You tell em' Tiny Tim!

And for legality

( Robin puts those accusations of being a fairy to rest... )

Tis that time of year peeps. You know the one I mean. It's a time for friends and family, lots of food and gift giving, all that fun holiday stuff.

But how did the Bat and the Cat celebrate their Christmas in the Golden Age of comics? Well, long before they were married and living under the same roof with a very young daughter, they spent it doing the one thing they do best! Playing Cat and Mouse...or in this case...Bat and Cat!

As the comics world mourns the passing of a legend, let's look back at Batman #1, and the debut of the character Mr Jerry Robinson will forever be connected with. A character with one of the most eponymous calling cards of all time.

( Smile damn you smile! )

In Batman 28 Alfred has an interesting encounter...

( A Goil did this to me.... )
