It's Not About The Answers: Behind The Mask Of Vic Sage, pt 9
O'Neil: Vic the Seeker (pt 5)
I've worn myself out doing little dances over the announcement for Question #37, so I figured I'd celebrate another way, especially since it's been a month and a half since my last post in this series.
We're going through Question v1 #'s 13 & 14 today, a two-parter that runs Vic's endurance, conviction, martial training and detective skills through the gauntlet as he takes on a elite special forces unit gone rogue. I was originally going to put #15 in this post as well, but after re-reading it I'm still not quite sure of my take on it, and it's subject matter is heavy enough that it should be analyzed on its own.

It's Not About The Answers: Behind The Mask Of Vic Sage, pt 8 A Martial Arts Week special!
O'Neil: Vic the Seeker (pt 4) The Great Fables Crossover! (sorry Vertigo fans, not that one)
In 1988, Denny O'Neil set off to tell a great martial arts epic, and close the book on the O-Sensei, the old master introduced in Kung-Fu Fighter, responsible for teaching Richard Dragon, Bronze Tiger and Lady Shiva. While I prolly should've held this one off until after I'd posted the arc from Question v1 16-18, where Vic and Ollie first met, well, who's fault was it starting Martial Arts Week now? But though this crossover takes place in titles starring Batman, Green Arrow and The Question,

It's Not About The Answers: Behind The Mask Of Vic Sage, pt 7
O'Neil: Vic the Seeker (pt 3) Tot's Reckoning
There comes a time in every title's life where the supporting characters must take center-stage and play the largest role in a story-arc's major plot while the star runs around around looking silly and ineffectual.

O'Neil: Vic the Seeker (pt 2)
After the first arc, O'Neil's series tended toward Vic confronting a Curiousity of the Month, set against the backdrop of a Hub City trying desperately (and mostly failing) to put itself back together.

It's Not About The Answers: Behind The Mask Of Vic Sage, pt 5 O'Neil: Vic the Seeker (pt 1) featuring the Post-Crisis debuts of Tot, Lady Shiva and Richard Dragon!
When last we left our hero, he was brought up on charges by the Cool Quota Cops. In the two months between his appearance in Blue Beetle and the debut of his very first self-titled series, he was found by a jury of his super-cool peers guilty of hubris in the first-degree. The sentence, carried out February 1987 by Dennis O'Neil and Denys Cowan...

Snowbirds Don't Fly: Green Lantern/Green Arrow #85 and #86 Woo! First post to the new community. I did come here to post some scans of Golden Age Black Canary, but I saw uadlika asked for some scans from Snow Birds Don't Fly, so of course I had to.
( Seven Scans from Green Lantern Green Arrow #85 )
Dinah doesn't actually appear until the next issue. The issue is 25 pages long, so I'm hoping 8 pages of it is OK; I didn't want to leave any of this out:
( 8 pages of GL/GA #86 )
I'll be back later in the week with some scans of Dinah's mother, who is just as awesome and has just as bad taste in men.

Request: Batman, Child Whisperer pt. 1 of 2 Runespoor7 requested any examples of interaction between Batman and children. I have two examples, this one from a 1980 World's Finest story, and in the next post a more recent interaction circa 2004. Here we have 4 pages and 2 panels of a 17-page story (my calculator says 1/3 of 17 pages is 5.666666etc. pages), "The Power of the Pi-Meson Man!"
