DC Comics Announces Publication Date for "The Strange Case of Harleen and Harley and "Bad Dream: A Dreamer Story"
DC Comic's young adult original graphic novels The Strange Case of Harleen and Harley and Bad Dream: A Dreamer Story will publish in 2024.
The Strange Case of Harleen and Harley from author Melissa Marr, artist Jenn St-Onge, colorist Jeremy Lawson, and letterer Lucas Gattoni will go in sale on September 3, 2024.
Harleen and her girlfriend Pamelia sign up to participate in a clinical research trial. For Harleen it sounds like a good way to make some extra cash and maybe help control her anxiety. Instead, Harleen end s up with "increasingly larger gaps in her memory and stolen mementos from some guy named Jack. Soon Harleen discovers she’s sharing her life with Harley—a take-no-prisoners, who-cares-about-attendance, maybe-we-oughta-save-the-bunnies kind of girl. She is the opposite of Harleen in every way. And although she’s throwing Harleen’s life completely off track, maybe she ain’t so bad either…" (DC Comics)
Bad Dream: A Dreamer Story from author Nicole Maines, artist Rye Hickman, colorist Bex Glendining, and letterer Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, goes on sale on April 2, 2024.
"Nia’s spent her whole life taking a back seat to her older sister, Maeve, who was expected to inherit their mother’s Seer powers: the ability to see the future through dreams, passed down to one woman in each generation. But when Nia, a trans girl, starts having visions of the future, she must suppress her powers to protect her relationship with her sister.
Soon Nia’s dreams become impossible to ignore, and she has no choice but to distance herself as she navigates her new reality. Taking off for Metropolis, Nia is quickly swept up in the bustling city and, guided by her dreams, connects with a group of queer girls who feel more like sisters than her own. As Nia starts to discover her powers may be more than just a burden, she’s given a choice: accept her new responsibility as a Seer or give it all up for a chance at normalcy." (DC Comics)

From Cradle to Grave: James Dean and His Cursed Car
He made just three movies during his short life, but the actor James Dean is a legend. His untimely death in a car accident in 1955, at the age of twenty-four, would enshrine Dean as an American icon, but he has special meaning to Indiana, since he spent most of his life living in its small towns, including Fairmount. That's the location of several of his childhood homes, his high school and church, a shop where he bought his first motorcycle, and the funeral home that would eventually lay out his mortal remains. You can find maps of many of these places online, but along with Dean's grave in Park Cemetery there are a few other places nearby that let you know a legend lived (and was buried) among them.
One is Dean's first home, at Seven Gables apartment complex. It was located at the corner of McClure and Fourth streets in Marion but has long since been demolished to make way for a parking lot. Today, its location is noted by a small, carved rock, sitting the corner, and a bronze-colored star, bearing James Dean's name, embedded in the sidewalk.
Another is the James Dean Memorial Park, on Main Street in Fairmount. Dedicated in 1995, the park contains a pedestal monument on which sits a bust of Dean. It was sculpted by Kenneth Kendall, whom Dean had approached in early 1955 about doing a sculpture of him. Kendall put the idea on the back burner until he heard about Dean's death. He began the Dean sculpture that evening but didn't have it cast until 1984. Eleven years later it was included in the new park to commemorate the fortieth anniversary of Dean's death.
The Fairmount Historical Museum on East Washington Street also has many Dean artifacts, including his first motorcycle. It's open from March to November.
The Adventures of Jame Dean's Headstone
Visitors to Dean's grave at Park Cemetery leave behind mementos, including cigarettes (Winstons being a favorite). It's not uncommon to find his headstone covered with lipstick kisses left behind by his adoring fans. They aren't, however, kissing Dean's original headstone, which had a bad year in 1983: stolen in April, recovered that May, and then stolen again for good in August. The stone that sits there today is a replica of the original.
James Dean and the Curse of the Spyder
On September 21, 1955, Dean traded the car he owned then for a Porsche 550 Spyder, one of only ninety that were ever made. Dean, an avid race car driver, was planning racing that Spyder, so he hired legendary car customizer George Barris-who would later design the famous Batmobile for the 1960s TV show-to paint 130 on the Porsche. Barris also put the car's name on the back: Little Bastard.
Legend has it that several of Dean's close friends, including actor Alec "Obi-Wan Kenobi" Guinness, warned him about bad vibes from the car, including fears of Dean's being killed in it. But Dean was not superstitious and shrugged off the warnings.
On September 30, 1955, Dean was driving the Spyder across California to participate in an upcoming race. Riding shotgun was Dean's personal mechanic, Rolf Wuetherich. Following behind in a station wagon owned by Dean was Bill Hickman, Dean's friend and language coach, and photographer Stanford Roth. The station wagon was also pulling a trailer behind it. According to legend, Dean originally planned to keep the Spyder on the trailer, but later decided to drive it so he could get used to handling it. That decision would prove to be fatal.
Dean and his entourage were heading west on U.S. Highway 46 (later renamed California State Route 466) near Cholame, California, when twenty-three-year-old college student Donald Turnupseed, driving a 1950 Ford Tudor, attempted to make a left-hand turn in front of Dean's approaching car. Police later concluded that since the silver Spyder rode so close to the ground and the color of the car blended with the twilight sky, Turnupseed never even saw Dean's vehicle coming. The result was that the two cars crashed head-on into each other. Upon impact, Wuetherich was thrown from the Spyder, which probably saved his life. Dean was transported to Pasco Robles War Memorial Hospital, where he was officially pronounced dead at 5;59 p.m. Turnupseed was treated for facial cuts and bruises. He was not ticketed for the accident.
Almost immediately, rumors about Dean's car (and, in some instances, Dean himself) being cursed began to spread like wildfire. The following is a list of events that have been attributed to the curse of James Dean's car. Some events have been verified, while others are just weird (and vague) enough to keep your guessing as to whether they really took place. But all of them combine to create the twisted legend that is Jane Dean's Cursed car.
At the scene of the accident, a young man attempted to take the Spyder's steering wheel as a souvenir and ended up slicing his entire arm open in the process. While the crushed remains of the Spyder were waiting to be towed away, several ghoul-individuals attempted to rip off blood-soaked pieces of the car's upholstery. All were said to have been seriously injured in accidents shortly afterward.
Having taken a liking to Dean's car when he first saw it, George Barris believed the wreck could be salvaged for parts, so he plunked down $2,500 for the wreckage. As it was being delivered to Barris's garage, the car fell off the trailer and onto the mechanic's leg, breaking his leg instantly.
The first items Barris allegedly sold off from the wreckage were two tired, which were bought by a young man. According to legend, within days of being placed on the man's car, both tired blew out, at the exact same time, sending the car and its occupant crashing off the road into a ditch.
Things really started getting weird with the cursed car legend when Troy McHenry, a physician and avid race car driver, reportedly purchased the engine. The drivetrain from the Spyder was said to have been sold to William Eschird, another physician/amateur race car driver. The strange twists continued when both men added Dean's parts to their own cars and raced the cars together for the first time on October 2, 1956, at California's Pomona Fairgrounds. Although it is still debated whether or not McHenry did indeed have Dean's engine in his car, what is known is that, during the race, his car suddenly veered off the track and slammed headfirst into a tree. McHenry was killed on impact. As for Eschrid, he said to have barely escaped with his life when his car spun out of control and rolled over.
The last two accidents seemed a little too coincidental for Barris, who reportedly began to believe in the curse. As a result, he decided to stop selling parts and quietly put Dean's car into storage. But curses don't like to lie low for long. So when the California Highway Patrol persuaded Barris to lend them the remains of the Spyder to be featured in a traveling exhibit on highway safety, the curse saw an opportunity. It took a while for it to get back in the swing of things, though, and the first few appearances of the vehicle went off without a hitch. But then, according to legend, the curse came back with a vengeance.
First, the garage in Fresno, California, where the Littel Bastard was being stored, along with other classic cars, reportedly caught fire, destroying inside-except Dean's car, which escaped wiht only minor paint damage.
During an appearance at a Sacramento high school, the car fell off its raised pedestal, seriously injuring a student. And-wouldn't you know it-this mishap is said to have taken place on the anniversary of Dean's death.
Yet another fatal freak accident happened when the car was being hauled on a flatbed truck to an appearance in Salinas. Driver George Barhuis is said to have lost control of the flatbed and crashed, ejecting himself in the process. Somehow, the Spyder not only managed to fall off the flatbed, but also crashed on top Barhuis, killing him.
In 1958, the cursed car was being put on display throughout Oregon. While the car was sitting peacefully on the back of the truck parked on a hill, the truck's brakes suddenly gave away, sending it crashing into another vehicle.
So what became of Dean's cursed Spyder? Plain and simple, no one knows for sure. Sometime in 1960 the car had just finished being shown at an exhibit in Miami, Florida. It was crated up and placed on a train (although some reports say that the car was loaded onto a truck) headed for Los Angeles. But when the train arrived, the Spyder was no longer on board, with no sign as to what happed. It was as if, as the old-timers say, "that Little Bastard just up and vanished."
To this day, no one has ever come forward and admitted that they have the car's remains or even that they know what happened to it. Even the $1 million offer by the Volo Auto Museum in Illinois for the car's return-"No questions asked"-in 2005 went unanswered, leading many to believe it's been lost for good. But we're dealing with the legend of a Hollywood icon's cursed car here, so that's not good enough. Let's say that maybe, just maybe, Dean's Spyder is still out there, waiting patiently for some unsuspecting victim to come along and resurrect the curse once again.
