With Apologies to Blue Oyster Cult, Don’t Fear (The Creeper)

By frasersherman February 24, 2021 February 15, 2021 4

Steve Ditko’s Beware the Creeper was nowhere near as good a series as his Shade, the Changing Man, but it’s been far more successful. It only lasted six issues, but …

Lois Lane and the Circus of Crime: two short posts, combined

By frasersherman February 8, 2021 February 7, 2021 7

“Half a Superman” in Action #290 (writer unknown, art by Curt Swan) demonstrates that as much as the Silver Age liked to humiliate and mock Lois Lane, she was never “galactically …

So maybe they should have kept his secret origin secret? Comet the Super-Horse

By frasersherman February 1, 2021 January 29, 2021 5

Some origins are just so right, they’re classic. Superman, last survivor of a doomed planet, fighting to defend his adopted homeworld. Batman, avenging the murder of his parents by waging …

You’re a wonder, Wonder Family!

By frasersherman January 25, 2021 January 18, 2021 4

Looking back from 2021, the Wonder Family era of Wonder Woman is just an amusing bit of comics trivia, as minor as Marvel’s Golem or the Maniaks. In their day, …
