Something DC has way more of than Marvel is back-up features in anthology books. It makes it incredibly hard to make reading lists, when characters like The Atom or Metamorpho or Elongated Man or Supergirl only show up sporadically in books like Adventure Comics, or World's Finest Comics, or Action Comics or Detective Comics or DC Comics Special or whatever the hell they're starring in! I'm figuring out ways to do it, but trust me: it's tedious and incredibly annoying work.

VOTE BLUE!

EDIT: This post is gaining traction, so I think it's important to show you this:

ELON IS INTERFERING WITH THE ELECTION. PLEASE CHECK YOUR VOTER'S REGISTRATION IN PERSON AND TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THIS.

EDIT 2:

IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE.

Please go check your voter's registration and tell everyone you know to do the same! I've heard some states are purging voter's regitration, so please go check!

Happy Birthday, Ralph Dibny!

Back during the first few pages of Identity Crisis, the Elongated Man is doing a steakout with Firehawk. Ralph was treated as kind of a clown but he was originally a take on Dashiell Hammet's The Thin Man, with his wife Sue playing Nora to his Nick. He was called "the Ductile Detective" and was often considered (when anyone remembered) to be as good if not better a sleuth than the Dark Knight.

One of his quirks was wiggling his nose when he "smelled a mystery." Firehawk says something like, "Green Arrow says you fake that." Ralph looks her dead in the eye and, after a beat, replies, "Green Arrow wears that hat to cover up where he's balding."

So, even his fellow JLA-ers have his number, there.

I was watching Batman brave and the bold, knights of tomorrow. They made Green Arrow balding! I can't get over it!

I don't remember many future iterations of Oliver where they did this to him

I love how Diana and Hal's goofy saying are related to their superhuman identities. Ollie's just being a goofball Action Comics 480

An early George Perez depiction of almost all the members of the satellite-era Justice League of America.

Not sure of when in the 1970s this was drawn, but it was probably before Zatanna and Firestorm joined the team.

I'm no art scholar, but I know a few things about comics. MAD Magazine Maestro Don Martin taught us that illustrated sound effects matter. A gut-punch produces an exhalation – like, OOF or UGH – not an exclamation – "EEYAH!"

A punch to the gut is a THUD or THUMP. Ralph Dibney, The Elongated Man, has just used his face to 'punch' a villain's yarbles. "GLONNGG" they ring, like clappers in a bell.
