10:55 pm [icon_uk] [Link]	An SD1.0 repost and a genuine "Grail Piece" acqusition!! :) Chances are that if you owned ANY DC licensed merchandise in the late 70's or early 80's it either featured art by, or based on, work done by Jose-Luis Garcia-Lopez and Dick Giordano, two stalwarts of the organisation, who produced acres of top notch, lovely licensing art. The art would be used from notepads to action figures, from t-shirts to underoos, and so had to be both simple and stylish, easily reproduced and instantly recognisable. They could hardly have asked for better! The attached pics are scanned as best I can, and hopefully might bring a little happiness to your desktop should you wish to tweak them that way.

02:08 pm [fleeting_feet] [Link]	When a party isn't a party..... I had a hard time trying decide what I wanted to share. After looking at my growing collection of fun, I decided that I wanted to post some things from Harley Quinn's "Preludes and Knock-Knock Jokes" (190 pages of glossy goofy awesome). Not only is some of the stuff in there fun, but it covers the Bruce Wayne House Party/Demolition.

07:54 am [kamino_neko] [Link]	One more page from Gotham City Sirens My reasons for posting this page are twofold....firstly, to illustrate a point I made in the last Gotham City Sirens post about the way the artist draws faces - specifically, the blandness of the female faces, and relative cartooniness of the male faces. Secondly...I'm a Riddler fan, who's been rather....distressed by his recent jobbing. For everyone. Former victims, supposed friends...it's one thing to have the Bat get one over on him, but Eddie's played the chump for everyone pretty constantly for a couple years, and this...bugs me. Eddie finally manages to get some back in GCS. Sort of.

04:57 pm [suzene] [Link]	Batman Confidential #28 - SPOILERS Damn, this was a fun arc! Sorry if some of this looks choppy, but it's broken up to 1) stay within the posting limits and 2) preserve some of the mystery, as well as the cool reveal in the last couple of pages of the book. ( Two intact pages and two pages of snipped panels of beneath the cut ) BTW, those last couple of pages that I'm not showing? They make me really, REALLY want to see this team do more with this Tut guy. I've really enjoyed the fun story and fantastic art in this arc. This one's worth your money, folks.

11:12 pm [icon_uk] [Link]	Another golden oldie... some Andy Price Batverse sketch cards! Andy Price is an artist whose style I've loved since I first saw this image; ( NSFW (but not PURE porn) ) Andy has a genuine, if delightfully irreverent, love of the DC characters, in all their assorted styles and era's and can seemingly reproduce all of them. Luckily he does a lot of work with sketchcards, for the DC Legacy series, and the new Batman Archives set from Rittenhouse and so there have been many nice examples of his work to be had, e-bay being a big help there! So just bear in mind as you go through these, ALL of them are by the same artist.... ( Bat-centric fun below ) There are a LOT of images under here. Even if most of them are relatively small, dial up be warned. As they have been released by DC for sale, I think it satisfies the need for a published piece of art, but I'll add one in if any mod thinks it's required.

06:34 am [ebailey140] [Link]	Gotham City Sirens, Who They Are and How They Came To Be, Part 1: Poison Ivy With the upcoming series starring Gotham's three most prominant bad girls, I figured I'd spotlight each of them in current DCU continuity, their origins, motivations, what they have in common and what sets them apart. We'll start with everyone's favorite psychotic eco-terrorist, Dr. Pamela Isley, aka Poison Ivy. Poison Ivy was introduced during the Silver Age, and was typical of the gimmick villains of the time. Her original origin was she was a botanist who assisted Marc LeGrande in stealing ancient Egyptian poisonous herbs. He attempted to kill her with them, but she survived and discovered she was immune to all poisons and diseases. She was a femme fatale with a plant theme. After Crisis of Infinite Earths, many characters and series had their continuity rebooted or revamped. In Ivy's case, the revamping for the new era was done by a then up and coming writer named Neil Gaiman. Needless to say, the result was a more complex, not to mention much darker, Poison Ivy.

04:07 pm [nevermore999] [Link]	Super Steph Series pt 6-The Mini Canary! Now to do an overview of Stephanie's time with the BoP ( I was going to couple it with Cass, but decided to post that seperately...it got too long.) Steph as a member of the BoP was rife with potential ( and bluefall has an awesome fic centering around the ideal in progress). But it was sadly cut short as soon as Dixon left the book. Gail sort of used Charlie as a Steph substitute (heck, she went out of the way to have Babs compare Charlie to Steph) so we see a little of how nifty it could have been. I mean, Steph and Dinah share a similar attitude, they're both postive, snarky independent women to think on their feet. And they are both made of awesome, of course. Meanwhile, Babs sees a lot of her younger Steph (self starter, doesn't care what Batman thinks, ridiculously determined, insinuating herself into what's mainly a "boys club", fun loving, has the hots for a Robin) and it clearly makes her VERY uncomfortable, which is most effectively demonstrated in Joker's Last Laugh when Babs basically flips out at Steph and is like "You take things more seriously, or you will die". (Babs is psychic) And if Steph had more interaction with Huntress- well, two black sheep with criminal families and disdain towards the "no kill" rule- the paralells are gold, and that Cataclysm thing only brushed the surface of that potential.

05:01 pm [nevermore999] [Link]	Super Steph Series pt 5- Do you know my boyfriend's real name? Robin #80, #84, #87, #92, #93, #94, #98 and #99! With 2 never before seen scans! The era of Stephness we enter now is post No Man's land Robin. The situation is thus- Steph's mom found her Spoiler costume and forbade her from vigilante activities. Steph, naturally didn't listen. Tim has been moved to a private boarding school called Brentwood by his father thanks to his constant disappearing acts, making it harder to do the Robin thing and spend time with Steph. It's also growing harder for him to keep his identity from her. We also have Pete Woods on art, and he is awesome. He draws my favorite Tim and Steph. I love especially how he gives Steph a believable body type for an athletic teen girl- fit and pretty, but no huge knockers or sexay!ness or any of that. And his Tim is so adorable and fun.

06:42 pm [suzene] [Link]	Batman Confidential #27 - Spoilers Title: Batman Confidential #27 (monthly) Length: 23 pages Posted 'Cuz: Too Awesome To Not Pimp* A couple of days back, mysteryfan linked to DC's five-page preview of Batman Confidential here. Go on, check it out if you haven't already. No hurry. So I picked up my copy of the book this afternoon and settled down, skimming the first five pages because, you know, I'd read them already. ( Let me say, page six justifies the book's cover price. Spoiler beneath. ) Please give DC your $2.99. I want this creative team to be brought back to make more awesome. I'm not sure if this is in violation of the "four pages, max" rule for recent comics, since the above is an off-site link to an official preview, not an actual post to the comm. I'll take this down if so.

04:46 pm [glaurung_quena] [Link]	Batman Family "Dollar comic" back covers IJ account created, check. Joined S_D 2.0, check. ~~Userpic, can't find the damn thing, heck with it I'll get one later~~. Here we go... The relentless stagflation of the 70's was not kind to comics. 50 cents for a 100 page super-spectacular became 60 cents, then became 60 cents for a 64 page giant, and finally 60 cents for a 48 page "giant." (back then, comic companies were actually reluctant to raise cover prices, you see). Then came the "Dollar Comic," at 80 pages for a dollar, with all-new content. But 80 pages was just too much paper to be affordable, so after only a few months of 80 page dollar comics, the page count was cut back to 64 pages. But again, this was an era when comic publishers felt a responsibility to deliver value for your dollar, so DC eliminated all advertising from the 64 page dollar comics. 64 pages with no ads was nearly the same number of story pages as 80 pages with ads, so they could tell readers that nothing had changed except a lower printing bill for DC. And it gave the artists the opportunity to create pinups for the back cover.( Read more... ) Dial-uppers may want to visit my flikr stream instead of clicking that link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/glaurung_quena/3317657829/ Tags: char: alfred pennyworth, char: bat-mite, char: batgirl/oracle/barbara gordon, char: batman/bruce wayne, char: catwoman/selina kyle, char: etrigan/jason blood, char: jim gordon, char: joker, char: man-bat/kirk langstrom, char: penguin/oswald cobblepot, char: ra's al ghul, char: riddler/edward nigma, char: robin/nightwing/dick grayson, char: scarecrow/jonathan crane, char: two-face/harvey dent, publisher: dc comics, title: batman family (22 comments \| Leave a comment)
