Atomic wastes turn Maxwell Jenkins into the Parasite on MY BIRTHDAY! I'm so proud... Also, I know this sort of thing was pretty common back then - we've come so far and all that - but 'John Stewart (Black Green Lantern)'? That's... a tad tacky, yes? I mean, it's TRUE, but you don't see Hal Jordan listed as 'White Green Lantern'. Also also - is it just me, or does 'Lola Barnett, WGBS Gossip Reporter' (Oct. 26) look like she was originally holding a cigarette in one hand, and it got cropped out when transferred to the calendar? The way the hand is poised looks very much like she's supposed to have a cig between her fingers. It's not like that's uncommon these days, of course (damn censorship), but this was '76 - and I notice that there are several other characters who are depicted as smoking. I mean, maybe I'm completely wrong - I don't even know if the character was a smoker - but does it look that way to anyone else?
Flipping through that, I was disappointed to discover I share a birthday with the Creeper, and then felt better when I saw Roy Raymond: TV Detective on there. I thought "Man, Roy Raymond: TV freakin' detective. It'd suck to have THAT be how the DC Universe remembers your birthday, right? I mean, what a crappy thing to associate with... say, what is that date? The 11th of... September.
