Yes, I've posted this before, but not for a good many years, so I can live with that! :)

Stoker’s Dracula #1
Oct. 28th, 2020 08:30 pmcyberghostface
Roy Thomas and Dick Giordano’s adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula is one that spans thirty years. It started in 1974 and was serialized in Marvel’s black and white horror magazines. These magazines were eventually cancelled leaving the story unfinished. Decades later in 2004 Thomas and Giordano were approached by Marvel to complete their work.
( Scans under the cut... )
icon_ukI first posted this back in my fairly early days on the community, and it is re-posted largely to highlight the pretty Estrada and Giordano art, who draw a damned cute Robin, and a classic Batman and Superman... as well as a very, VERY camp villain, and some rather over-amorous dwarves... I mean, what IS he doing to Robin's leg there?
Quite a few images under the cut. It's a fifteen page story, so I've trimmed it down from it's original posting to what seems to be about five pages in total, but if it seems too large, I'll trim some images out.
( ...where Superman fights something from Tolkien, Batman finds himself in a Harryhausen flick and Robin is mugged by dwarves! This ones surely has something for everyone! )

icon_ukThis is essentially, the introduction of Jason Todd to the Batverse, showcasing his introduction to the world of Robin-ness, reveal how pre- Crisis Batman handled so many things differently from his Post-Crisis self, and also highlight the gorgeous, rich artwork of the late, great Don Newton (inked by Alfredo Alcala), one of the most under-appreciated Batman artists ever IMHO.

The Joker #1
Apr. 25th, 2019 08:11 pmcyberghostface
"[The Joker] was and is the great trickster figure in all of pop culture, maybe in all of storytelling. But in order for the Joker to work, in my opinion, he can't be a nice guy, he can't be amusing like a clown. There has to be real element of danger. He might turn on you in a second...
"If you adhere to the letter of the [Comics] Code, the bad guy has to be caught at the end of the story; there has to be a strong suggestion that justice will be serviced. We have a continuing character that, by his very nature, is a criminal. He's not the Joker if he's Simon Templar the Saint, or Boston Blackie, guys who are 'bad' but are actually Robin Hoods. He's the Joker—he's got to be a vicious, unpredictable criminal. Okay, now fit that into the Comics Code as it was back then. I don't think whoever made the decision to give him his own series realized that it was a huge problem." -- Denny O'Neil
