Dudes in Distress Week - Oh come on, you MUST have known I'd be doing something like this (Pt2)
Feb. 5th, 2012 04:10 pm![[personal profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
icon_ukAs 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...

ebailey140As we've seen with the debates with this post...
http://scans-daily.dreamwidth.org/29727
...there's a bit of controversy regarding the direction of the Bat books. Some object to Bruce not being a loner. What's with these groups and others wearing the Bat symbol? What's with people looking to Batman as an inspiration when he's just supposed to scare the crap out of everybody, good and evil aike? Bruce publicly funding superheroes? What's with that candle swearing ceremony thing?
They all date back decades, in some cases almost as long as Batman has existed.
A look back...

icon_ukA repost from two S_D incarnations ago.... Discussion of the no-kill rule here reminded me of this in Robin 140 by Bill Willingham and Scott McDaniel
We start with a cover which just screams "WRONG!" on every level to me. Robin with a rifle, surrounded by hand grenades and hand guns just seems deeply disturbing...
( The JLA as weenies, military philosophy and topless Robin kicking butt! )

kingrockwellWelcome to day 3 of ![[community profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
scans_daily's 30 Days of Winter celebration! Today's topic is Retcons. Retcons can be funny things, usually intended to fix some kind of problem, sometimes perceived and sometimes legitimate, often they create new ones themselves and a quagmire in continuity results! But every now and then a retcon comes along where the benefits so outweigh the consequences as to be irresistible, and today is for those times.
( Like this one, an s_d favorite! )
So tell me, what's your favorite retcon?
And stay tuned tomorrow, when the topic will be Manga!

Tim's first trip to Hong Kong - pt. 1
Nov. 6th, 2010 05:39 pmwhitesycamoreSince Tim will be travelling to Hong Kong again in the next issue of Red Robin, I thought it might be nice to post an old story that also took place there. This is from one of Tim's early Robin miniseries, before the title became an ongoing. Although the story ends with Tim preventing an outbreak of bubonic plague in Hong Kong, the first issue is set in France.

It's the Great Eggplant, Stephanie Brown!
Oct. 18th, 2010 03:03 amebailey140A little Halloween fanart. Plus, for those questioning why Batman would train people to help with his mission (the Batman Inc. concept), an explanation from Bruce, himself, from close to a decade ago.

Bat-Villains: Vanity
Sep. 19th, 2010 05:28 pmstarwolf_oakleyOne thing about a lot of Bat-villains is how vain they are. That even goes for scaly-skinned characters like Killer Croc.
Some context after the cut, which makes this even funnier.

Therapy time for the Joker!
May. 11th, 2010 07:09 pmcateyMistah J talks about Robin's strange longevity. Seven pages from Robin #85, followed by 4 pages of issue 100 in which Tim talks about the bat-budget. And as a bonus, 2 covers of "Lil'Bruce Wayne, the happiest kid on earth". I... kid you not.
