Three more of my M.G.M.'s Mouse Musketeers: 19 21

Uggghhhh! J. Scott Campbell needs to take some anatomy lessons. Super heroines shouldn't look implanted.

To John Severin's great rendition of the character:

So it seems.

A few more of my Fox and the Crow comics with "Stanley and His Monster" having taken over the covers: Fortunately the "Fox and the Crow" continued to get more stories and pages inside than did "Stanley and His Monster". But with DC's twenty year comic publishing rights to the Columbia Screen Gem cartoon characters expiring in 1968, the Fox and the Crow title came to an end. Very sad.

We're all different people. I'm sort of a blend of you two. Not being an American, I don't fit into this current great divide of yours. (As a Libertarian, I don't fit anyway.) Like Rich I prefer funny animal comics to PCH but I also like GGA for obvious reasons. But I'm interested in neither Superman or Batman from the Golden Age. Among DC's, it's Green Lantern, Flash, Black Canary, Hawkman, Doctor Fate, Hourman, Starman and Kirby's Sandman and the Newsboy Legion I really like. I played all sports with my friends but being skinny and uncoordinated I was never any good and couldn't even make a school team. But now I have no joint pains or knee problems because I never participated in competitive sports. And after lifting some weights after university, I ended up looking like I must have been an athlete! (I'm still no good at anything though.) Meanwhile I was heavily into the Rolling Stones, Doors, Animals, Kinks, the Cream, the Who and rock music and hi-fi components in general. I grew my hair long to annoy my father, but with my red Dodge Charger I looked not so much like a hippie but like a greaseball hood which is the image I preferred to project. But I was actually a bookish scholarly academic at heart! And I still am. I don't even have a TV! So yeah, I'm a blend of you and Rich. But like I say, we're all individuals.

Which issue?

I much prefer his re-imagining to the original:

Mmmmmm! My kind of girl art too!

Five more of my House of Secrets comics:

I was wondering when a Jimmy Olsen would be posted!

There's conflicting data as to whether Neal Adams or Joe Orlando was the cover artist for this issue: So whose is it?

Five more:

Five more of my Batman comics:

Five more of my Tales of the Unexpected: Bethlehem copy

The Aquaman title was also full of out-of-character portrayals: Northland copy

Yeah, Lois has swollen calves. I mean what's with that?

Hey! I learned everything I needed to know about women as a kid from reading "Superman" family comics!

I much prefer the above cover to the X-Men cover.

Regardless of the skill of the artist, I hate that style of cover. No situational peril portrayed, just a bunch of heroes grimacing and trying to look tough.

Here's why they call it Action Comics!

Who is that? And is that John Byrne artwork?

Well there certainly is a noticeable correlation between Silver Age Superman and Batman fans/collectors and those who are opposed to anyone but DC publishing those characters.

I'm in full agreement with you when it comes to Beppo the Super-Monkey. But you're wrong, very wrong, regarding Comet the Super-Horse. Comet was born a handsome centaur named Biron who saved the goddess Circe from the evil machinations of the wizard Maldor. Circe rewarded him by granting his wish to become fully human. But Maldor switched potions turning Biron into a horse to whom Circe then gave super powers to compensate for the disaster. But Circe still eventually found a way to turn Biron fully human in which guise he romanced Supergirl. But being human caused some very serious problems so Circe turned him back into Comet the Super-Horse who would then dream of his romantic dalliances with Supergirl. But Comet would periodically revert to human form under the influence of a comet. So Supergirl had a boyfriend who was actually a horse. Yes, most women do like horses but Supergirl's stallion delivered more than the usual. That storyline was as daring as comics got back in the early 1960's.

Let's not forget Streaky:
