This is Pretty Awesome...

I've owned this original art for about 3 years now, originally from the 1982 DC style guide, and used all over the place, including posters/signs/action figure images, etc. Cool enough, right?



But I only JUST found out it was, at least in part, used in making commemorative coins back in 1987.



YEAH!

Spider-wha?

Eventually it had to happen. Take the emo of Spider-Man and the emo of musical theatre and you have this.



If there's something lacking in Spider-Man, CLEARLY it's dramatic monologues that went UNSUNG.

Maybe with great power comes great choreography?
And how does one "turn off the dark?"

To quote a wiser man than me, "It's schwarbage."

(It's stuff like this that makes me think of Joe Quesada as the Mr. Pinciotti of comics.)

Comic book character spotting! Ra's al Ghul

PROOF!

I inadvertently found indisputable proof that Batman exists - in the form of this statue of Ra’s Al Ghul in Tribeca.



The statue has been erroneously engraved as being a figure from Uruguayan history who supposedly died over 150 years ago. But technically Ra's could've been a figure in Uruguay's history. See, Ra’s has never let a little thing like mortality get in his way.

This is Ra's al Ghul. The Demon's Head.




And he's REAL.



And if Ra’s al Ghul is real, and I am both living and not enslaved, then I have to believe Batman is real. Because no other force on Earth could keep us safe from a man who's lived for centuries and wakes up every day continuing to choose this crazy of a hair/facial hair combo.

Please note this closeup of my amazed face.

If A is to B as C is to D...

... then in some alternate universe, Alan Moore is cramming his beard into a dress.

Apparently my life is a lot like a Scifi version of Clue.

For those who think I haven't given enough...

... I give you this.


Porco Rosso? No.


Porco Griffin.


The Disney-sponsored film about Peter Griffin's great-great grandfather Marco "Porco" Griffin, a WWII flying ace who was transformed into a pigman. True story.
