There's a really quick joke in BTAS that genuinely got me. It's in the episode "Eternal Youth", where Alfred and his girlfriend(?) Maggie Page go to a health spa being run by a mysterious woman named Demeter. Of course, this turns out to be Poison Ivy.

And when Batman has to go to this spa to save Alfred and Maggie, and he's confronted by Poison Ivy as she reveals herself, he says (I'm paraphrasing because I can't remember exactly) something like, "Only you, Poison Ivy, would name yourself after the Greek goddess of plants."

Poison Ivy has two henchwomen in this episode (who unfortunately never show up again) calling themselves Lily and Violet, also present. And either Lily or Violet responds, with something like, "Ooh, someone graduated high school literature."

And then the confrontation continues, but that joke fucking got me, because that IS a common level of mystery-crafting in comics and also this show specifically. Superheroes apparently have to know their Greek and Roman mythology (not just because of Wonder Woman's rogues) because there's a high chance a villain is going to pretentiously name some project by looking up mythology in an encyclopedia.

It also makes me think that it must be REAL easy for the Gotham rogues to frame each other for anything, which is sure to cause grudges and fights between them if it gets found out. Everyone has conveniently themed themselves! Maybe it fools Batman sometimes and maybe it doesn't!

"Aha, a green envelope with a purple question mark! It must be the Riddler again," says Robin. "When did he get out?"

But Batman just inspects the card and says, "Wrong type of paper. Wrong shade of green. Nygma is picky about the quality of his printing. Someone picked this card up from the greeting card section of the local pharmacy."

"Oh, huh, you're right," Robin replies. "Holy marketing mistake, Batman, why do they even sell these?"

"I wish they wouldn't."

well, you made a fighting roster for one of your favorite things, bugs, so why not do your second favorite? HALLOWEEN.....but you don't have to if you want.

I actually did that of my own accord with concept sketches once but it was two years ago so a lot of people haven't seen it.

It started when I made up a Darkstalkers fan character; a "scream queen" (type of horror movie actress in the 50's) and Bug Eyed Monster duo, with some more move ideas:

But then I decided to just make a dozen monster fighter characters of my own like it was its own distinct game and not Darkstalkers:

Mermaid who was partially eaten by people who thought it would make them immortal, instead it killed them because she was poisonous but she doesn't know that so her ghost is stuck on a revenge killing spree that can never be satisfied

Cartoon werewolf in a zoot suit and punk rock vampire with boombox coffin, I didn't come up with storyline for them, I just needed a werewolf and a vampire

Frankenstein's daughter who put her brain into her own monster in order to defend humanity against her dad's creations and other supernatural threats, I decided on this partly because I'm not really into superheroes but they're one of the top most common Halloween costumes so I tried to make a Halloweeny one that I'd like

Nurse who accidentally transfused herself with cursed mummy blood. I made this one because there's a picture I drew when I was real little of a bleeding mummy with the words "MUMMY BLOOD" on it that child-me thought was the scariest picture ever, and also because I love the (mostly Japanese) trope of medical themed mummies. Also based on the fact that "sexy nurses" are a top selling Halloween costume and then that easily ties into a Silent Hill reference. This all felt creepypasta-like so she's also like a slendersman

Old fashioned Halloween mascot pumpkin man with a vegetable ghost gang, actually the ultimate villain of the setting and a monster that eats children

"Bogeyman" fighter inspired by edgy 90's comic books, a ragdoll scarecrow grim reaper clown. She's a manifestation of the fears of children, but in the sense that she exists to destroy whatever threatens them so her main goal is to kill all other monsters and especially the pumpkin guy

Entire zombie outbreak as one fighter, represented by a cute little fungus mascot, but every fighting move is performed by zombies coming and going from the ground

shapeshifting space alien disguised as a generic housewife, the human disguise would animate like a doll being played with by invisible hands

Ideas for extra-weird, secret unlockable fighters:

Photorealistic giant insect

Vincent Price parody and all his moves are obvious special effects performed by a film crew in the background the whole time

Mysterious entity in a "morph suit" because that's become such a staple of Halloween costumes. Changes into all manner of colors and printed textures for different moves or is the token "mimic" character.

Completely normal middle aged office worker who was on his way to work when he was accidentally caught in the monster brawl, battles on the power of pure blind panic. The tournament put his name down as "I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE"

Au where they have the miraculous, but after LB and Chats debut, Alya makes an update discord server as well as the Blog. Adrien doesn't go to their school, his father using the amok to stop him, but he joins the server. What's the harm in getting updates quicker than the ladyblog anyways?

Marinette joins for the same reason, as well as supporting her friend.

Alya eventually opens up a general section so people can talk, and share experiences. To bring the server together (she also finds volunteer therapist's with experience who help Akuma victims through the server cause Alyas like that). Adrien is the biggest Ladybug fan, his username is probably something like LBLove123 and Marinette is Chat's. She literally pays nitro so she can make her server name and entire server profile Chat Noir themed. They get into light hearted joke arguments about who the better Hero is, eventually Marinette wins and Adrien has to change his profile picture to some mug of Chat as a losing thingy.

All while this is happening, Lb and Chat are hiding the fact they're on the server from one another.

After like, half a year Adrien dm's marinette like "hey, so you like. Really like Chat Noir, huh?" And she goes "no. He's actually the worst and I hate him" adrien, the autistic little dumbass he is takes it as the truth and responds with "oh :(" So marinette apologises a ton and starts using tone tags. They add eachother as friends and even start playing online UMC on VC together.

Adrien really wants to meet marinette, but she responds with "how about this, when Ladybug and Chat Noir get together." And it's like a reverse crush au, so Adrien is infatuated with this girl he's never met and Marinette falls for Chat. So now, chat is trying to convince Lb to fake date him, and she (as much as she wants to say yes) says no. Because well. It's dangerous! Stuff could happen and it might not end well! Plus, it would mean LbLove123 (who only kept his name to match Marinette's) won the bet she set up in her head

Basically reverse crush online friend adrienette au while they're actually just eachothers dumbass superhero partner.

Plagg would egg him on, Tikki would warn her the risks of people online.

Also Adrien's pronouns in his pronouns slot are "🎀🐾🐞He/She/They🐞🐾🎀"

The bow is for this mysterious Chat noir lover who he knows loves pink, bows, fashion and threatens to beat him up with her shoe on the regular. The paw print is for Chat Noir, and the ladybug is for Lb!! Also he's gender fluid in this au ✨✨

Comic Ages: Quick Breakdowns for the Golden, Silver, and Bronze Ages

If you're new to comic fandom, or even if you're not, you may hear people talk about specific "Ages" of comic books. If you don't know what that means, or what people mean when they talk about a Golden Age, this is a quick writeup meant to help you out!

This focuses on the Golden Age, the Silver Age, and the Bronze Age of comics. This is a DC focused writeup, though it's loosely applicable to Marvel comics too.

The Golden Age (1938-1950s)

DC Comics as we know it started taking form in 1937 with the debut of the Detective Comics title. Published by Detective Comics Inc. in partnership with National Allied Publications, the title was an anthology of various detective and mystery stories featuring characters such as Slam Bradley. Have you ever read the first dozen or so ‘Tec stories? Because I haven’t. I care much more about what came next. In 1938, All-American Publications began publishing Action Comics, debuting a character called Superman. Maybe you’ve heard of him. Soon after, in 1939, Detective Comics #27debuted the Batman. Arguably with Action Comics #1, though definitely by 1940, the Golden Age of comics had begun.

The original iterations of the Flash and Green Lantern—Jay Garrick and Alan Scott, respectively—were created in 1940. The savvy reader among you might recognize these two as belonging to the Justice Society of America, which had arrived on the scene by 1941. The JSA would be rounded out with Hawkman, Doctor Fate, the Spectre, Sandman, the Atom, and Hourman. Other characters created around this time include Green Arrow (1940), Wonder Woman, (1941), and Aquaman (1941).

You may notice that the Golden Age overlaps with World War II, and it definitely affected DC’s publication. The newly created figure of the superhero became a more starkly patriotic figure, often spangled in red, white and blue. Plots began to incorporate nationalistic themes, and heroes often fought spies, foreign agents, and saboteurs. Arguably, though, scholars argue that the war era was most important for how superheroes began to move out of a purely print medium to radio and film. (For additional reading on DC Comics and WWII, see the Freeman and Hutchens citations below)

As the 40s went on, however, interest in superheroes began to wane, and DC (though technically they weren’t yet a consolidated DC Comics) began to pivot to other themes, such as Western stories or science fiction. The end of the Golden Age, however, can arguably be traced to 1954 with Frederic Wertham publishing Seduction of the Innocent. Wertham’s book that claimed that comics were an active harm to children due to their depictions of violence and supposed (homo)sexual themes. Seduction of the Innocent led to Wertham testifying before a U.S. Senate Subcommittee, which in turn ended up leading to comics publishers adopting the Comics Code Authority, a sort of self-imposed regulatory authority.

I would personally characterize the Golden Age as having a sort of earnestness to it. Characters are being invented left and right, but the writers haven’t yet had enough time with them to shape them into the figures we now know them to be. In hindsight, a lot of these early stories seem... silly… Superman eating a pocket-knife in Superman #8 comes to mind. But even within the same issue as the goofy knife-eating, you see Superman working against foreign agents representing the real-world anxieties of the time.

The Silver Age (1958-1970)

After the establishment of the Comics Code Authority, the content of comics had to change. At the same time, DC Comics (though they still weren’t technically doing official business under that name) had a stable of characters begging for reinvention. In 1956, Barry Allen debuted as the new Flash in Showcase #4, and the Silver Age was off. Science fiction themes seemed to be all the rage for the Silver Age: Hal Jordan, the new Green Lantern, got his ring from a dying alien. Ray Palmer, the new Atom, was described as a genius inventor who created his size changing powers. Hawkman was brought back, no longer as the reincarnating pharaoh Khufu, but as a police officer from the planet Thanagar. The Martian Manhunter was more thoroughly fleshed out and elevated from a detective to superhero. As individual heroes were getting re-tooled, the concept of the Justice Society was updated in 1960 to become the Justice League of America, which debuted in The Brave and the Bold #28.

After establishing refreshed versions of some of their older heroes, DC decided that they wanted to begin to reincorporate some of their older characters into their modern publication. This effort began in 1961 with the spectacular “Flash of Two Worlds” in Flash #123, which featured Barry Allen, the Flash, teaming up with Jay Garrick, the Flash of the Golden Age. This issue established that the Golden Age characters all still existed, but on a parallel Earth that vibrated at a different frequency than the Earth of DC’s main heroes, which was designated Earth One. By using their powers, characters like the Flash were able to vibrate at the other Earth’s speed, crossing over. This concept would soon be expanded upon, leading to frequent crossovers between Earth One and Earth Two characters and teams.

Having two separate Earths, each with their own history, allowed DC to have multiple variations of the same characters, offering greater storytelling breadth. The Bruce Wayne of Earth Two, for example, had retired as Batman to become Gotham Police Commissioner, passing on the torch to his daughter Helena Wayne, the Huntress. Huntress would cross over to meet the Bruce Wayne of Earth One, the younger, childless Batman. DC would develop other Earths, such as Earth Three, with villainous versions of Earth’s heroes, of Earth Prime, with a single Superboy as Earth’s only superhero.

The Silver Age, as a whole, can be looked at as campier than other eras of comics thanks in no small part due to the regulations imposed by the Comics Code Authority. Stories tended towards science fiction and the fantastic, and creators were very interested in making pre-established concepts new again. Comics continued to expand through new mediums, often keeping with the tone of the time: the Adam West Batman TV show, for example, ran 1966-1968 and is a great example of Silver Age camp. While the Silver Age has an event that can be pointed to as a relatively agreeable indication of the era’s beginning, its end is slightly less clear.

The Bronze Age (1970-1986)

The Bronze Age of Comics came about during the 1970s, but it’s not easy to discern exactly when or with what event. Comic readers had been indicating a desire for darker or more mature stories. (In some ways, this desire can be considered as a reaction to the trend of the Silver Age as a whole. For further reading, I suggest The Caped Crusade: Batman and the Rise of Nerd Culture by Glen Weldon, which dives into how Batman media specifically follows a tone-pendulum.)

Some point to the death of Gwen Stacy over in The Amazing Spider-Man as the event that heralded in the Bronze Age, others point to Jack Kirby leaving Marvel to join DC and begin the Fourth World. The Bronze Age was emboldened by the revision and weakening of the Comics Code in 1971, after Stan Lee published a comic about drug use without the Authority’s stamp of approval. The comic was a success, leading the code to reevaluate or be left behind.

In the realm of DC, Green Arrow’s joining the Green Lantern title in 1970 in what would then be Green Lantern/Green Arrow #76 is generally considered a Bronze Age hallmark. The series focused on contemporary social ills, with its arguably most famous story tackling drug addiction in America. 1971’s Green Lantern/Green Arrow #78, “Snowbirds Don’t Fly,” depicted the teen hero Roy Harper's addiction to heroin and the other heroes’ reaction and response. In the Batman comics, Dennis O’Neil and Neal Adams began a long campaign to bring Batman back to a more gothic, brooding figure with appropriately dark villains. O’Neil and Adams’ 1971 Batman #232 debuted Ra’s and Talia al Ghul, while 1973’s Batman #251 would see “The Joker’s Five Way Revenge” take the Joker from his Silver Age clownish portrayal to a more menacing, murderous villain.

As DC Comics approached 50 years of publication in 1985, they began to recognize that five decades had left them with quite a mess of continuity. There were the Golden Age heroes on Earth Two, the Silver Age heroes that had become the Bronze Age heroes on Earth One, and a plethora of alternate Earths and company acquisitions to make it muddier. To mark the anniversary and clean house at the same time, DC embarked upon the Crisis on Infinite Earths.

Crisis on Infinite Earths, often referred to just as “Crisis” was a year-long maxi series running from 1985-1986. The plot involved the destruction of the DC multiverse, and resulted in the establishment of a New Earth with a new continuity. Nearly everything that came before was taken off the metaphorical table, and writers got to choose which pre-Crisis elements to re-canonize and which elements to create fresh.

Never touch a wounded animal.

My commentary on this piece under the cut.

I've been planning out my own urban fantasy superhero kinda graphic novel since this previous Valentine's Day. Perhaps my biggest problem is that I can't really draw cartoon apes, like humans. We have no fur to smooth out nuances of the face, and our little noses, unlike muzzles, have some complex and subtle features that we are hard-wired to seek out.

Regarding this I only know what I learned in college about drawing from live models. It's going to take me a lot of practice to slowly whittle down a style I can draw repeatedly, while not being so simplistic as to distract from the mature tone and adult themes and events of the story.

But! It looks like this attempt at the heretofore unfamiliar black-and-white screentone style of coloring (used since it is simpler to color and cheaper to print) here has been a success, so at least that practice has paid off already. It was also practice at nailing down the line quality I wanted to use, and that's also successful.

But anyway yeah, this is Phantom because I loved A Glitch in Time. It seemed appropriate also considering that my novel may have some unavoidable cursory similarities just due to my own taste.

I took liberties with the design, obviously, because my comic characters are very bearded so I wanted to practice that. And I know that every style will have some people who think it's ugly. I even had a friend who thought Steven Universe was ugly lol.... But I totally understand if you think this is ugly as sin. I couldn't avoid some Elder Scrolls influence in the style. It's etched into my soul I can't help it

Goddamn how long has it been since I made Danny Phantom fan art and why

The Revenge of Team Tighties

After the unforgettable game where Team Tighties found themselves in a shredded mess of tighty-whities, the group agreed to a hilarious, albeit slightly humiliating, bet. The losing team had to don something even more ridiculous for the next match. Unfortunately for them, Team Tighties lost again. And so, with laughter and groans, Team Tighties became Team Thong for the upcoming game.

The sun was just as relentless on the day of the next match, but the mood was light as both teams gathered on the court. There were nervous chuckles and sideways glances from Team Thong as they stripped down to their, now very revealing, game attire.

Team Thong consisted of:

Ryan, still the de facto leader, sported a black leather thong that hugged his waist tightly and barely covered anything else. His toned body made the sight both comical and surprisingly fitting, though he was clearly uncomfortable, tugging at the waistband every few minutes.

Mark, the muscle-bound gym enthusiast, opted for a bright red thong. It was small, really small, barely containing his muscular behind. The thong seemed to vanish between his well-defined glutes, and every move he made flexed and emphasized his physique in ways that had the rest of the team trying hard not to laugh.

Jake, the strategist, went with a neon green thong that was as eye-catching as it was tiny. It didn’t leave much to the imagination, and his somewhat lanky frame only made the thong seem even more out of place. He had a nervous grin on his face, clearly regretting the bet but too proud to back out.

Brad, the jokester, of course, had to go with something outrageous. He was wearing a leopard-print thong. It was a riot, and Brad played it up, strutting around the court like a runway model, much to the amusement of everyone watching.

Steve, ever the planner, went for a classic white thong. It was simple, but on his slightly stocky frame, it highlighted every curve and crease, making him blush every time someone looked his way. He kept trying to adjust it, but the more he adjusted, the worse it seemed to fit.

Frank, the quiet, intense player, wore a dark blue thong. It was surprisingly tasteful, as far as thongs go, but his larger, muscular build made it look almost comically small. He moved with his usual determination, though the thong definitely added a new and awkward dynamic to his movements.

On the other side of the net, Boxer Brigade was ready to go, still in their boxers, but with a whole new set of funny designs:

Greg had switched to boxers covered in tiny rubber duckies. The bright yellow ducks seemed to float across the blue fabric, and every time he jumped, they appeared to quack in unison.

Tony was wearing boxers with a superhero theme again, but this time it was a mix of comic book sound effects—“BAM!” “POW!” “ZAP!”—scattered all over. The colors were loud, and they matched his energetic personality perfectly.

Mitch had on a pair of boxers that looked like they were made from an old pair of jeans, complete with fake pockets and a printed-on belt. They were a perfect fit for his wild and unpredictable style.

Dave, the quiet one, had chosen boxers with a nighttime sky theme—dark blue with little stars and moons. They were calm and peaceful, a stark contrast to the chaos that usually surrounded him.

Sam was sporting boxers covered in cartoon tacos, with little faces and sombreros. It was unclear if he loved tacos or just wanted to mess with everyone’s focus, but either way, it was a hit.

Oliver had boxers with little palm trees and coconuts, giving off a beach vibe. Given his tall, lanky frame, the tropical theme looked almost comical as he towered over the net, his boxers swaying like a lazy day at the beach.

The game was about to begin when Jake, still blushing in his neon green thong, pulled out a volleyball from his bag. It was the same one Tony had used in the previous game, the one with the mystical markings. But Jake, always one for strategy, thought it might bring them some luck—or at the very least, even the playing field.

“Why not give it another go?” Jake suggested with a mischievous grin, tossing the ball to Greg, who caught it without hesitation.

As the game commenced, the cursed volleyball once again began to work its strange magic, but this time, it wasn’t Team Thong that felt the effects. Instead, something peculiar started happening on the other side of the net.

It began innocently enough. Mitch, after a particularly good spike, gave Tony a playful pat on the back, and then, without really thinking, a pat on the rear. Tony laughed it off and returned the favor, a little harder and with a wink.

Greg, noticing the camaraderie, joined in, giving Oliver a friendly smack on the behind after he made a great save. Oliver, a bit surprised, chuckled and did the same to Sam, who laughed and returned the gesture. Before long, the Boxer Brigade was filled with a series of light-hearted pats and smacks, all of which seemed perfectly normal—until they weren’t.

The pats became more frequent and more lingering. A hand would rest a little too long, a touch would be a little too tender, and the playful atmosphere began to shift into something else entirely. The Boxers Brigade members found themselves exchanging knowing looks, and the air around them thickened with an unexpected tension.

Mitch, catching a spike from Ryan, landed with a graceful step, only to find Greg standing close, much closer than usual. They locked eyes, and Greg reached out, brushing his hand across Mitch’s arm in a way that felt…different. Mitch didn’t pull away. Instead, he smiled, a warm, inviting smile that said more than words could.

On the next play, Tony dove for the ball and ended up tumbling into Oliver, who caught him mid-fall. Their bodies pressed together, and instead of pulling apart, they stayed there, looking at each other with a newfound intensity. Tony, always the bold one, leaned in and planted a soft kiss on Oliver’s cheek, which quickly turned into something more.

The other members of Boxer Brigade were experiencing similar feelings. Sam and Dave, usually the quietest, found themselves standing side by side, their hands brushing together as they waited for the serve. When Sam looked over at Dave, there was a softness in his eyes that hadn’t been there before. They leaned in closer, until they were sharing a kiss, right there on the court.

The spectators, as well as Team Thong, watched in disbelief as the playful gestures turned into full-blown displays of affection. The game was all but forgotten as Boxer Brigade members embraced, kissed, and caressed each other in a way that went beyond mere friendship. The cursed volleyball had done its work well, weaving a spell that had transformed competitive energy into romantic passion.

Jake, realizing what was happening, looked down at the volleyball in his hands. The markings were glowing faintly, just like before. “Uh…guys?” he called out, but his voice was drowned out by the sounds of laughter, kisses, and murmured sweet nothings.

Finally, after what felt like an eternity of awkwardness and suppressed giggles from Team Thong, Tony, still wrapped in Oliver’s arms, noticed Jake’s horrified expression and the glowing volleyball. With a sudden jolt of realization, he broke away from Oliver, shaking his head as if to clear it.

“Jake!” Tony shouted, pointing at the volleyball. “That thing’s cursed!”

The spell was broken. Boxer Brigade members blinked, looking around at each other as if waking from a dream. They quickly disentangled themselves, their faces turning a deep shade of red as they realized what had happened.

“Uh…yeah,” Greg said, scratching his head awkwardly. “So…that happened.”

The laughter that followed was uproarious, filled with a mixture of relief and embarrassment. The Boxers Brigade quickly returned to their side of the net, their previous playful rivalry restored, though the memory of their unexpected affection lingered in the air.

“Well,” Ryan said, grinning as he looked down at his leather thong, “at least we’re not the only ones who got caught in something weird today.”

The game ended with more laughter than actual points, and by the time the sun began to set, both teams were too exhausted from their laughter and antics to care about the score.

As they packed up, Greg turned to Jake, eyeing the volleyball warily. “Next time, no cursed volleyballs, okay?”

Jake nodded, chucking the ball into a nearby trash can. “Agreed. I think we’ve all had enough of strange magic for one lifetime.”

And so, as the sun dipped below the horizon, the two teams walked off the court together, united not just by their ridiculous outfits, but by the bizarre experiences they’d shared. The story of Team Thong and Boxer Brigade would become a legend among their friends, a tale of curses, thongs, and unexpected kisses that they’d laugh about for years to come.

"It's disturbing that the first thing we think of when we think "comic book movies" is the power fantasies that have monopolized that medium, and the power fantasies that are quickly monopolizing another medium.

And they did it by using the same pattern as comercially sucessful in print as it was in film.

The medium of comics is filled with so many artists and so much talent that we need to talk about it beyond the Republican and Democratic parties of comics.

And do not come at me with "voting third Party". Jeff Bezos is not the solution... the solution is working horizontally: reaching out rather than "looking up in the sky". Finding new characters. Creating new characters. Supporting those characters once they are created! Now I'm not saying 'don't make more superhero stories', superhero stories have a lot of meat in them, have a lot of great themes that can be explored, but don't defend the integrity of a genre.

"Genre" in French actually is the same as "Gender", and "genre" like "gender" is a social construct. It is something with arbitrary features that we have decided are essential to them.

Genres are meant to be played with: they are fluid, they are constantly changing, they are always transitional from one form to another, and we should embrace that fluidity!"

WELCOME TO THE FOURTH ANNUAL COMIX OF THE YEAR EXTRAVAGANZA!

I've grown very fond of this little tradition we've started here, and it's nice to get a chance to showcase all the books I've read and loved and could shout about from the rooftops. This year I've read 140 completed series out of a total of 474 over all completed series (as always, that's not counting single issues or current ongoings!) and I've come to expand my physical collection to 735 issues -- that's more than any previous year!

It's been a really great year, from getting to see my first article published in print and getting to write a couple dream articles for a magazine that's meant the world to me to getting to visit Graceland & Memphis with some of my best friends in the universe and then getting another two weeks with my beloved best buddy @slaapkat right here in London! I also feel like I've gotten more into the local comics scene and grown more confident as the true real fanboy I am.

The JSA's renaissance also remains a miracle to me and the definitie highlight of these past two years. Without further ado, here's this year's favourites:

Justice Society of America (2022) #8 In a November 2022 interview, Geoff Johns said: "to me, he's the most iconic character in the Justice Society of America. […] To me, Alan Scott is the main character." Right then and there, I knew we were in good hands. I have loved this series from day one and I still love it like nothing else in the world but this particular story might be the best single issue I've read this year -- it feels like coming home, it feels like the first time we've seen the real Alan Scott in so long. There's something very special about the few occasions team books have allowed a spotlight to shine on Alan alone, more so when he's found himself the heart of the story. This issue with its gorgeous art and picture-perfect characterisation feels like just the thing I've spent so long searching for.

Slam-Bang Comics (1940) It's hard to explain how the funniest comic you've ever read is a wildly obscure Fawcett publication that lasted six issues in 1940, but that's precisely what the Diamond Jack stories in Slam-Bang Comics are to me. Diamond Jack is early absurdist comedy, Diamond Jack is a case study in what made the Golden Age sincerely and genuinely the medium's best era -- its endless room for innovation, the lawless approach of creators building a new art form from the ground up. On the first page of his first appearance, we learn Diamond Jack was given a miraculous gem by an "old magician": this is all we ever learn of our hero. In the third panel of that same page, he dares a pair of robbers to shoot him. It only gets better from there.

Enigma (1993) An eight-issue miniseries about an ordinary guy whose favorite 1970s obscure comic book character seemingly comes to life with all that implies and in the process of investigating this bizarre series of events with the help of the original series' writer, he also comes to terms with his sexuality as a gay man. It's the single most compelling, complex, meaningful book I've ever read. It's also the very first explicitly gay mainstream comic, and it might as well be the only one for its radical no holds barred approach to sexuality (on-screen gay sex included, a complete rarity in this era of sanitized intimacy).

A Contract with God (1978) Widely acknowledged as the world's first graphic novel, Will Eisner's classic anthology certainly lives up to the immensity of its legacy. As the man himself writes in the introduction to the 2000 edition, "I realize I was really only working around one core concept – that the medium was an art form in itself. Unique, with a structure and gestalt all its own, this medium could deal with meaningful themes. Certainly there was more for the cartoonist working in this technique to deal with than superheroes who were preventing the destruction of Earth by supervillains." Four stand-alone tales make up the book, all following Jewish characters living in the same New York tenement in the 1930s, all based on Eisner's childhood recollections and impressions. I remember crying, really crying, at that first story and then laughing uproariously at the next and so on. There's really no way to express just how special this book is without reading it for yourself.

Seven Miles a Second (1996) Published posthumously, Seven Miles a Second is David Wojnarowicz's autobiographical graphic novel detailing the last years of his life before his AIDS-related death. It's urgent, angry, hard-hitting, bleak, and a sincere mandatory read for any gay person interested in our history. It made me sob like few things have. In the here and now, it's surreal to think that DC Comics had published this in the mid-1990s under its Vertigo imprint -- it's often surreal to me that we used to have genuinely daring gay comics published by one of the 'big two', and we've been left with less than a shadow of comic books' former self. Still, the few we have are some of the most significant to have ever graced the medium.

Catwoman: Selina's Big Score (2002) This is a funny one. I'm not a library-goer but while wasting time at the library down the street early this year, I ran into this big collection of all of Darwyn Cooke's Batman stories -- they're great, they're always great because Darwyn himself was a giant of the industry, but Selina's Big Score was one I hadn't read before and it's ended up being something of a life-changing chance encounter for yours truly. Something about this little book utterly changed the way I look at Selina Kyle as a character. I'm a big crime fiction buff, there's no denying that, but it's the subtext that makes the book; the exploration of the cold, hard, mean way Selina navigates the limitations imposed by her gender and social class. It's something else, it's really something else.

Parker (2009) And speaking of cold, hard, mean things. Darwyn Cooke's Parker is something of a package deal with the above, Selina's man friday in Big Score is named Stark and undoubtedly based on Richard Stark's Parker. That's how I got here, but I certainly never left. Months and months later, Parker's still on my mind as one of the most compelling characters I've ever encountered and one of the most beautiful, right-up-my-alley series in existence. Darwyn's four graphic novel adaptations are masterpieces in their own right and I cannot recommend them enough to anyone who's willing to listen but I'm also forever grateful that they've introduced me to my ongoing obsession with Stark's actual novels -- one of the few pieces of fiction I've been genuinely blown away by in recent times. "Rough, macho stuff but tight and exciting, too" is what a blurb on the back of one of the books says and I couldn't agree more, and I can't say I've ever found anything else so uniquely suited to all my interests.

Stargirl: The Lost Children (2022) I'm not the biggest fan of sidekicks or original characters, or children. Yet, somehow, this series won me over in a heartbeat. Geoff Johns has a truly uncanny ability to make a new character feel like they've been here for decades; in this particular case, the so-called Lost Children mix so well with actual Golden Age characters that their introduction betrays nothing except a genuine passion for and knowledge of 1940s comics. Geoff's work has been some of the best of the modern era for a long while now but this one's really a beautiful and beautifully self-contained little story hitting some great emotional beats.

I Die at Midnight (2000) On New Year's Eve 1999, a man decides to kill himself by swallowing too many pills after a bad breakup. Immediately afterwards, his ex decides she wants to reconcile and he's sent into a mad-dash attempt to save himself without her finding out about his impending death. Misunderstandings, frustrations, lies and hare-brained schemes ensue. It might not sound like the makings of a comedy but I Die at Midnight ranks up there with the funniest books I've ever read, I've spent this last year making my way through all of Kyle Baker's DC work and it's certainly tough to choose a favourite but there's simply no other book that captures his delightfully offbeat humour quite like this one.

Silverblade (1987) One thing's clear: 1987 was a magical year for DC Comics. I don't think there's a single year in the industry's entire history that's produced more hits or better books. Silverblade's a special one though, it's the Sunset Boulevard of comics. If there's anything I love half as much as crime fiction, it's anything dealing with Old Hollywood, throw in a heavy dose of gaycoding and it's the book for me. I read this one very early in the year but it left a lasting impression and I've definitely come to consider it something of an all-time favorite.
