If I (once again) ran the zoo – 52 DC titles I would totally buy
Some years ago (on the old blog!), I wrote a post about what I would do if I ran DC Comics. Now that they’re doing a “soft” reboot (none of that hard-core stuff around DC – they’re a family company!), I thought I would do what Bully and Bill Reed (among others, I’m sure) have [...]
Snark Blocker – The Greatest Cover That Never Was!
Back when I was doing the Top 75 Most Iconic DC Covers of All-Time, more than once I had someone suggest a certain Carmine Infantino and Murphy Anderson cover that is one of the most iconic Batman images of all-time. The thing is – it’s not a cover! It was a pin-up! The actual pin-up [...]

Snark Blocker – Herblock Takes on Every President Since Hoover!
Herb “Herblock” Block had just so many great comic strips I could not fit them all in, and one thing I ended up omitting was the fact that, due to his longevity, the man produced cartoons caricaturing every United States President since Herbert Hoover!! I figured, though, that that was far too cool NOT to [...]
