Sometimes I find it necessary to take a moment and remind myself why I love comics…

§ June 23rd, 2011 § Filed under adam west § 9 Comments

…particularly when current events and personalities, both in the comics industry and in online fandom, get me fed up with everything and it’s all I can do to not change the focus of my blog to cooking tips.

So pardon me for a moment while I take a deep breath, center myself, and exhale slowly, while contemplating a recently acquired item of pure beauty:

God bless you, Adam West, Burt Ward, and known associates.

If you came to the site today expecting my reaction to this week’s Search for Swamp Thing #1 – I’ll get to it tomorrow, probably. Short version: Inept, but liked it despite itself.

I miss The Boy Wonder, Robin Zowie. Star of the Flying Zowies. What a guy.

Are you supposed to hold the book on an angle while reading the villains’ scenes?

I completely agree–the Swamp Thing comic IS inept. Ugh.

Joe Williams – YES. And you must also shout “MEANWHILE” in a booming voice every time the location changes.

I fondly remember the BATMAN VS. 3 VILLAINS OF DOOM novel. It came out around the time of the BATMAN movie but other than the characters had nothing in common with it. It was a fun read for 10-12 year old boys.
