World’s Finest #71, DC Comics, (July/August, 1954) World’s Finest #71 was printed at both an historic low point for superhero comics and a major turning point for the American comic publishing industry. Though crime and horror comics ruled the day, behind the scenes Dr. Wertham and the US...

Last week, a rumor made the rounds about a possible Spider-Man/Batman crossover. This rumor turned out to be false but it got me thinking, what crossovers would I like to see? If I could match up characters and licences from other companies and put together mini-series, what would I put...

Detective Comics #395, DC Comics, January 1970 I meant to post this book right after Undervalued Spotlight #98. The two books go hand in hand as far as I’m concerned since both represent major steps in the development of superhero comics. Alas, Halloween came along as did my 100th Spotlight...

I had a whole column planned out and then this got pointed out to me and I had to change gears. Mark Hamill’s Joker is no more. Or at least that’s what he says via twitter this morning. It isn’t entirely unexpected. Mark did say last year that Arkham City would be his last...
