The Crevice, by William John Burns and Isabel Ostrander, Illustrated by Will Grefe. 1915

Isabel Ostrander (1883 - 1824) was an early 20th century mystery writer who at the time was well known enough that Agatha Christie parodied her in one of her Tommy and Tuppence stories.

William John Burns was the first director of the organization that would become the FBI.

As I continue through my post-crisis read through, post OYL, Detective Comics really is the superior Batman comic. I’m really enjoying Dini’s focus on one-shot stories. They’re fun and a refreshing change of pace from the multi-issue story arcs that the other comics have. It gives him a chance to shine a spotlight on a lot of different characters. I’m also really enjoying the new Ventriloquist—she’s fun. Even the guest slot for Tec 829-830 was only a 2 issue story and it was a fun Batman and Robin team up.

On the other hand, Batman has Grant Morrison who is uh, certainly writing a comic. (Morrison, I’m not going to read your prose joker issue of Batman. Seriously.) It kind of reminds me of Tom King’s Batman in a way. They both have this level of over-the-topness to their Batman which doesn’t really work for me. I can tell that they both have a take on Bruce, though it is one I don’t always agree with.

(And also like… Batman #666 man… You know, I think it’s interesting to see how many bits of Damian in that issue get picked up going forward. That’s the Batman costume that gets used for future Batman Damian. Alfred the cat is there! When it comes to the actual story of that issue though… It’s very much a Morrison story. We name drop Dick as one of Bruce’s sons but not Tim (though the fact that Damian’s the one doing the name dropping might have something to do with that.) We’ve got Barbara Gordon as police commission which is not really all that. (Also, yet another aside, but I can tell I’ve been reading modern comics, but I was like ‘at least she’s in a wheelchair!’ while reading it.) Oh, and Damian’s bald. Interesting creative choices all around.)

Anyway, the other story in Batman that I’ve read was from Ostrander which I did have hopes for but sadly it did not do it for me :/

Coming up: Grant Morrison gets three whole issues with J H Williams III illustrations when Dini only got one. THREE. (I shall be salty about minor things as is my right.)

Suicide Squad (1987) #4 Readthrough

Well, after last issue’s cosmic flavored story with The New Gods, this single issue is more of classic frame-up story against a racist-Green Arrow expy.

          The issue starts with William Hell fighting crime in Central City (which because of Crisis is left without a hero) with arrows. But we quickly see the flaws in his methods, when he only captures the people of color and lets white criminals get away as long as they join his White Pride hate group. (Yup, this is a politically charged issue that is still relevant today.) We also get Hell in his secret identity as a businessman (William James Heller) who supports racist organizations.

          Waller finds out this information from one of the support staff (Black Orchid). So, she decides it is up to Suicide Squad (with guest member Chronos) to stop this man and his movement before it escalates to a race war.

          And then we get to the action of the issue which is of heist-like. The hints of Squad’s plans are already there from the 1st section of the book. We then get Captain Boomerang and Bronze Tiger committing a crime to gather the attention of William Hell. Hell is tricked into letting Boomerang join his organization.

          The action heats up when a fake William Hell (Deadshot) interprets a meeting that Hell’s civilian identity is holding. Deadshot gives a speech about how it isn’t race that separates people and how it will take the lower class to combine together to fight the upper class.

          The actual William Hell (a rich racist) can’t stand this speech and comes out and challenges Deadshot as a fake. And the way the Tells decide to tell which one was is the real is through the classic William Tell scenario. That’s right, they are going to shoot an arrow through an apple on Captain Boomerang’s head.

          Deadshot, of course, manages to shoot an arrow through the apple. However, when Hell shoots it goes over his head. Deadshot takes the momentum from this action and exposes William Hell as William James Heller. And to make things worse for Heller, a member of his hate group shoots Deadshot.

          And now for the reveal: the person who shot Deadshot was Rick Flag. The reason why Hell’s arrow missed was that they used Chronos’s device to stop time and Bronze Tiger deflected the arrow away from the apple. The team celebrates that Heller’s identity is burned as the media thinks Hell was actually Deadshot. And while they can’t arrest Heller, the man lost his influence in the media.

          This is another issue proving that Ostrander is one of the smartest writers in the business. He’s very careful with the danger that Heller can do with racist attitude. And he kinda of sees that racism won’t change but it requires community action.

And we finally get an issue focusing on Deadshot and he comes off as the coolest man in the world. The one issue one might have been how they try to tie-in Heller’s past with Deadshot’s backstory. It fine but a bit unnecessary to the story

But it isn’t just Ostrander who is making the story work. McDowell, Bob Lewis, and Carl Gafford do some amazing artwork in this issue. There is some A+ work in the way they play with the lines with William Heller.

In any case, the most important people in post-Crisis in terms of Barbara’s commentary on the Joker are the following:

John Ostrander & Kim Yale (Oracle Year One)

Chuck Dixon (Birds of Prey #8)

Dan Curtis Johnson & J. H. Williams III (Touched, JLL Secret Files and Origins)

Scott Beatty & Chuck Dixon (Joker: Last Laugh generally)

Tony Bedard (Birds of Prey #119-124 Platinum Flats)

William Ostrander as ‘Buddy’ in Christine (1983)

Felkner-Anderson House

9716 Fontanelle Rd.

Ostrander, OH 43061

Listed on the N.R.H.P., the Felkner-Anderson House, located at 9716 Fontanelle Rd. northwest of Ostrander, Ohio, in Scioto Township, Delaware County, is called an “I House,” and while Delaware County has many of them, there is reputedly only one located in Scioto Township. The house at 9716 Fontanelle Road dates from 1858, and was built by William Hall Felkner, replacing a log home dating from twenty years earlier built by his father Jacob. The Felkners were early settlers in western Delaware County, coming from Tennessee. The phrase “I House” is not an official term, but it is a widely accepted way to describe houses from the early to mid 19th century across the Midwest and South that follow a particular pattern.

I House construction is symmetrical with a central front door and often, as with the Felkner-Anderson House, featuring two rooms over two rooms and with a central staircase. A southern historian named them “I Houses” because of the multitude built in the states of Iowa, Illinois, and Indiana. Ohio, of course, had its share as well. The 1860 census of Scioto Township lists farmer William Felkner as living at the property, which was worth $3200, with his second wife and three children — two boys and a daughter, Jane, who went by “Jennie.”

Jane Felkner married Isaac Anderson, and the Andersons lived in the house after William Felkner’s death in 1903. In recent years it has been used as a cafe and antique store. The house has a three bay facade, six over six windows, two story brick interior end chimneys, and a carved staircase. The Felkner-Anderson House was placed with the National Register of Historic Places on February 11, 1988.
