Sometimes, I think about the huge number of DC properties that will never see media adaptations beyond the Easter eggy variety (like the DC SHOWCASE animated shorts or guest appearances on something like BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD) due to corporate dysfunction — not the big-name superhero stuff, but things like:

KAMANDI, which could make a magnificent animated series.

ATOMIC KNIGHTS, which is less stupid than FALLOUT and has giant mutant Dalmatians the characters ride as steeds.

SILVERBLADE, a charming mid-80s "Maxi-Series" by Cary Bates and Gene Colan about a retired movie star who gains the supernatural power to transform himself into any character he's ever played.

STANLEY AND HIS MONSTER, a delightful kids' comic about a boy who adopts a huge red shaggy monster that his parents (who never actually see the monster) patiently assume is his imaginary friend.

CAMELOT 3000, a sci-fi spin on the Knights of the Round Table with King Arthur reincarnated in a high-tech 31st century world and transgender Sir Tristan.

Then I remind myself that at best, they'd just be reduced to the same hackish nerd show pablum as the various Arrowverse shows (probably by the same hacks), and that, as with STAR WARS and STAR TREK, an abundance of crap can very easily make something too infuriating to even bother hate-watching. So, maybe it's for the best.

Happy birthday to letterer and artist John Costanza!

Now for the second comic in this book: Camelot 3000!

They look so cute together! I sure hope nothing tragic happens to them!

HIS FEET! HE HAS SEPARATED TOE TIGHTS! IS THAT LEGAL?!? LANCELOT WHY?! I KNOW YOU'RE FRENCH, BUT DO YOU HAVE TO DO THIS?!?!?

Sjskkdjsjksk Merlin is hilarious and I love him.

Arthur has swag.

I smell beef. Also, Merlin's outfit is hilarious.

Arthur's watching like he knows what's about to go down. I'm so sorry dude. (Although I can't say for certain which Arthurian plotlines actually end up being used in this comic. I mean- maybe it's fine. Maybe everyone is chill. Right? Right??!)

Hi there... Morgan. You're looking... good. Full page too. Not even Arthur got that. We know who the money-maker here is.

This felt like a trailer for the comic, honestly, and it did make me interested. If I see a Camelot 3000 comic, I'll definitely pick it up to see what happens. This isn't because every character looks gorgeous. That's just a helpful perk.

camelot 3000 sucks so much there has been some form of gender-affirming surgery possible since the 1920s and you’re telling me in the year 3000 the only possible way for tristan to get the body he wants is magic. and then they make him “accept being a woman” anyways? kill yourself

These were all bought yesterday.

I met up with a friend of mine and we went for a long walk and caught up while we did some shopping.

So yeah, I'd definitely count this as my Birthday Swag Post 1.
