I am so happy to finally post this! I was partnered up with @nolanfa on the @womenincomicsminibang and she did such a beautiful illustration of a scene in my fic, go show her art some love!

Here is a link to the fic!

There's blood on her hands. There's blood on her hands and Pino is crying, and she should know what to do. She remembers the first aid lessons they taught in school, and she knows she should be putting pressure on Pino’s wounds, and there’s blood on her hands. 

////

Barbara has nightmares, she’s not ashamed to admit it. She has nightmares of the Joker, of Dick dying, of her dad dying, of Steph dying, of Tim dying, of Cass dying, of Helena dying, of Kara dying. The nightmares make her human, it means she hasn’t completely disconnected herself from the world, not like Bruce has.

Hot, wet and fun

I have a soft spot for comic book swimsuit specials

They exist for no reason other than to have an excuse to publish pinup images of characters in (often ridiculous) 'sexy' poses while wearing the smallest amont of clothing possible while not getting pulled off the shelves for indecency

Many of these specials pre-date the internet so fill a gap in the market that fandom probably now largely caters to instead

I love the lengths some of them go to to attempt to justify a scene within their established theme - if they bother to have one outside of 'swimwear, beach, and optional (sexy) weaponry'

The Homage Swimsuit Special from 1993 features 34 images of scantily clad women to 10 images of mostly shorts clad men, and the cover lets you know what to expect right from the start

The art varies from fairly standard comic book 'tits, ass and back strain in one easy shot' pics

to a literally white woman (not a vampire) sporting underboob, thigh dagger and an 80 foot wave of hair that Rapunzel would be jealous of (a classic 90's comic book art staple never restricted by gender) waving her crotch about mere inches from her work colleague's head

The chrome clad Void who doesn't wear clothes in the books she regularly appears in is here allowed to be tits out (no female presenting nipples presumably making this ok?) but not 'non existant as far as we're aware' pussy out so is wearing bikini bottoms which then implies that she's choosing to be naked in all of her other appearances?

Are the completely unnecessary bottoms supposed to make this more sexy or could they just not justify portraying her usual Barbie smooth physique in close up? I doubt we'll ever know

This group shot of ladies has it all - tits, ass, and improbably long legs! More superfluous swimwear on Void, women clinging limpet-like to rocks, a bow and arrow aimed at nothing for... reasons? and Voodoo on the far right with glowing pink boobs contrasting strongly with her darker toned skin despite zero sign of sunburn elsewhere.

And to close, I bring you a male character who isn't wearing loose baggy shorts (1 of 2 options in this entire book)

who we're told is wearing a thong, but the only person to know for sure is his teammate in the background planning to sneak up on his ass in a potentially very literal sense

These specials are so ridiculous, so ott, and so much fun

"Why are you Blue?" That TikTok sound immediately popped into my head while reading a 90's Superboy story and Blue Superman popped up. It was such a wild way to learn about the existence of that Superman storyline.

Werewolf by Night by Leonardo Manco

[raccoonramblings]

Some choice excerpts from the final four issues (#4-7) of Cathy Hill's Mad Raccoons. It was really difficult choosing which pages to use because there are A LOT of good ones as the series goes on. I have to admit, hitting the end of this series was bittersweet. I could go on forever about how much I love these comics and how much it sucks that it's been largely forgotten.

There's a few endorsement quotes on the back covers of the later issues and I don't think I can put it better than this one from issue #7: "You know how much I love it! just say anything you want and put my name on it."

That quote is from fucking Sergio Aragones. Don Thompson from the Comic Buyer's Guide compared the book to Walt Kelly (which is about as high praise as you can possibly give to a cartoonist) and contemporary John Ott said everyone should see Mad Raccoons. When I try to look up information about the book or about Cathy Hill, I come up with almost nothing. No Wikipedia page. A brief Lambiek entry. Two sentences on WikiFur.

Seven issues. That's all we get. I know it's selfish but... that's all I get. We never even get to know whether Cousin Lemur gets together with Racckety Ann.

I'm going to try to scan my copies properly when I can. This book needs to be preserved. It needs to be seen. People need to see Mad Raccoons.
