aardvark88 Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Go-go checks around 1966-68. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister_Comics Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 There was a little DC symbol character that was shown. I don't know if it had a name. You would see it in adds that showed upcoming comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonker Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Johnny DC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted March 27, 2003 Author Share Posted March 27, 2003 Johnny DC was an icon for DC but he never appeared on any covers(at least not that I know of) Go-Go checks were a sixties item too,but they were just temporary.. OK,you know where the current DC "bullet" resides now,right? On the upper left hand corner of most every DC comic that's published now.(This design has been used since the late '70's) In the '60's the DC symbol was way different and it said "Superman,National Comics" with "DC" right in the center. What was this particular symbol called? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister_Comics Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 DETECTIVE COMICS symbol? Because Detective Comics was DC's first comic??? I don't know, just guessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bronze Posted March 28, 2003 Author Share Posted March 28, 2003 Give you a hint mister_comics. Go to Mile High Comics website,look up Batman #200 and look in the left hand corner.What was *that* symbol called. Yes DC stands for "Detective Comics",but it wasn't what I was after....

PovertyRow Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 Does it Matter? Does anything really matter? I mean really really matter? Think of the fervent expressions and longings and musings of those now centuries past. Oh GAWD I'm depressed now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonker Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 The Superman-DC-National Comics emblem may have been called a "bull's eye" in a house ad once upon a time. Is that what you're after? Z. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted March 28, 2003 Author Share Posted March 28, 2003 at povertyrow! "Bullseye" zonker?That is a new one on me,never heard that one before. But yes,thats what I'm after. Another hint: It starts with an "S"(and it's isn't "Superman") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister_Comics Posted March 29, 2003 Share Posted March 29, 2003 How about the EDITORIAL ADISORY BOARD symbol? I looked through all my old Batman's and issue #85 is the first one to have this symbol inside the book and on the 22nd page it has this symbol shown along with the words EDITORIAL ADVISOR BOARD. Is that it? Or are you talking about the little symbol that looks like NORTH AMERICA below it??? It has the letters "id" in it. Do I get a NO-PRIZE? I already have one from Stan Lee. Will I ever get this answer right. Does anyone really know what time it is. Does anyone real care? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted April 2, 2003 Author Share Posted April 2, 2003 OK,it was known(perhaps unofficially?) as "the slug". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PovertyRow Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 OK,it was known(perhaps unofficially?) as "the slug". That's because it IS a slug. A "slug" is printing/advertising etc. slang for a logo. When i was in advertising (don't hate me) you'd hear things like "where do you want to put the slug?" etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninanina Posted April 2, 2003 Share Posted April 2, 2003 ..and that rhymes with bug. Bug, did you have anything to do with this? Bronze, are you absolutely sure it wasn't really called a slugaboo? Think hard, I think I may have something here. By the way: You know, you keep asking questions and then answering them. Why not ask something you don't know the answer to and give someone else a chance to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
