Since we apparently have a theme going...

Garth Ennis' "Hitman" featured many memorable side characters. One of particular note was Bueno Excellente, "an obese, sweaty, and bald Latino in an overcoat who 'defeats evil with the power of perversion.' Generally, the only thing he says will be "Bueno", often preceded by a creepy chuckle."

I really like the classic enemies of the Teen Titans; besides trying to finish our heroes off, Deathstroke, Brother Blood, Trigon etc. have something else in common: good use of grammar.
In New Teen Titans #24 (1982) we meet Lord Damyn, who not only has his own grammar rules, but also a very special humour and sense of beauty.

I looked through the tags, and I noticed (at least) three different variants of the "Horror week" tag, either classifying it as "theme", an "event" or a "series". Which one is the proper one?

The Van Lente controversy has brought us an influx of new members and anons. Which is great, but we've also had another round of tag trolling. For the time being, tags are maintainer-only.

What does this mean?

Only [insanejournal.com profile] skalja, [insanejournal.com profile] angelophile, [insanejournal.com profile] sandoz_iscariot and myself have the ability to add, delete or edit tags, for new and existing entries.

We ask that members add a list of tags to the body of their posts, so that the mod team can C&P them into the tag field.

Anything that the team misses during the down time, will be caught up via backtagging by mods, wranglers, and other members.

We will keep you posted.

Here's a few samples from the first issue of YAK YAK in 1961, from Dell (there would be a second issue in 1962, not a sign of fevered public demand for this material). Weird comic. No ads, and some of the art was in regular four color but most was an odd experiment. The figures were left white, while the rest of the panels were light blue or pink or green. No borders on the panels and the dialogue was in rectangular balloons. It might not have been very good but it was distinctive. This was a style we later saw split-off Gold Key use on DR SOLAR.

Whether he was doing humor or horror, adventure or Westerns, Davis was always unique and enjoyable. Too bad the writing on this was so weak.

I wish Stan would write for the regular comics. This is better than anything the "Webheads" have put out.

OH GOD WHY

You know, I basically live on the internet. There isn't a whole lot of stuff in modern media that can squick me these days. And then I read FREDDY VS. JASON VS. ASH: NIGHTMARE WARRIORS #3.

And there was squick. )

The guy shown here is not supposed to be representative of scans daily posters as a whole who I know to contain a number of real actual women and also furries.

Oh, and for legality:

Another pivotal scene from this manga take on Frankenstein - his first meeting with the monster since its creation in part one. Then we hear straight from the monster's mouth, how he didn't really become a monster until years after Frankenstein left.

I realise this is a lot of scans, but it's a long work so it's not even close to a rule breach, I don't think.

Spoiler alert if you've been following along the story at its natural pace.
