And the moral of this story is what, precisely?

[skjam]

And now, a story from Daredevil #105 (December 1953.) As you'll recall from a previous post, by this time Daredevil himself had long left the comic book, leaving it to his sidekicks, the Little Wise Guys. But the Guys, while not superheroes, weren't exactly "normal teenagers."

And the Archie comics had proved that "normal teenager" sold, so Daredevil had a second feature, "Dilly Duncan." And that's what we're going to see today. Howsomever, since this is a Lev Gleason publication, it's not all dates and gags for our wholesome lad....

Pre-Crisis Worlds' Finest

[aeka]

It's that time of year again folks. That time of year where yours truly is yet another year older but still perpetually young as always. Aside from the fact that I have the best birthday ever (off on Labour Day, got paid this past Friday, new Doctor Who this past Saturday, new Worlds' Finest later this week with BatCat goodness, what more could I ask for?), to celebrate I'll share with you one of my *very* favourite pre-Crisis stories featuring another fellow Virgo and one that's very dear to me of course.

I give you pre-Crisis Huntress and Power Girl in all their femslashy glory on their native world of Earth-2, kicking ass and taking names. ^_^

Sandor's Story

[cyberghostface]

This will probably appeal more to people who are familiar with the series A Song of Ice and Fire or the TV show Game of Thrones. Lots of exposition to deliver if you haven't, although the following pages mostly stand on their own.

Those who have read the books know that they cut out a major scene from the show; the one where Sandor Clegane tells Sansa Stark the story about his scars. It's to this day IMO one of the worst things they did. Fortunately, the comics saw fit to include it. This is from the ninth issue of the series.

Finally a trigger warning for a scene of child abuse.

Aunt May's OTP: Peter Parker and Mary Jane Watson

[kevinroc]

Back in the old days of Spidey comics, Aunt May was often portrayed as a doddering old codger who didn't realize that her nephew was Spider-Man. But she also wanted something else out of Peter. She wanted him to date Mary Jane Watson.
