  1. During WWII and the Korean War, certain factions of the opposing sides used dinosaurs in battle as a secret weapon. (As a side benefit, the dinosaurs could thus be kept quite well-fed without too much trouble). DC commemorated these epic battles in one of the DC War titles, Star Spangled War Stories. But they did so in a small-ish run within just this one title so as to still keep the secret relatively hush-hush. So, what yer sayin' is ya really don't know... Dinosaurs were "in" for a couple of years at National's war book department back in the early 60s. Makes a change from Weisinger's super-gorillas and army of Bizarros. Not that you'd've seen many of those in the Big 5 titles... Like the Gorilla Witch? It's the best of both worlds! Only at DC in the 60s.
  2. DC can sometimes get carried away, it has to be said.

  4. Definitely. Looks in very decent shape.
  5. Indeed - very pukka English accent. Jeez - must be why it's so bad. You didn't like the series?
  6. Not sure these series are on Netflix, but seek them out - The Fall (featuring Gillian Anderson playing an English police detective in Belfast on the trail of a serial killer - best Brit series of the year, imo), Peaky Blinders (Brit attempt to do Boardwalk Empire - not as good, but definitely worth a look - stars Cillian Murphy, set in 1920s Birmingham, subtitles required!), Happy Valley (great series, also about a woman police officer, on the trail of a gang of kidnappers) Broadchurch, and The Shadow Line (another terrific series about corruption and conspiracy in the police) and Line Of Duty. These are the best series I can remember from Britland over the last several years, nearly all from the BBC.
