Dr. Fate
So, weird useless fact about me: I own almost every issue of a published (solo) comic (reprint or otherwise) of Swamp Thing, Dr. Fate, and The Spectre. I am however missing Golden Age appearances of Fate & Spectre, which have been reprinted as DC Archive Editions. Which are also out of print and hard to …
22. Green Lantern
So, to counter yesterday’s piece, here’s Alan Scott, the Golden Age Green Lantern. He’s a character I have a deep fondness for who has been presented as hetero for nearly 70-80 years.

Red Bee vs. Two-Face
In 2016, most likely during an episode of The View Masters, I mentioned to Joe Grunenwald that I could draw Two-Face and any golden age superheroes all day and be content. Within days, I had a script. Within days of that, I had made some changes and drawn the 1st page! Then, nothing. I sat …

1182. Black Panther
Hey did you know there was a Golden Age character called Black Panther? You do now.
1181. War Eagle
Absolutely the most ridiculous Golden Age superhero I’ve ever seen or heard of. Look him up, it’s a doozy.
725. Stardust, The Super Wizard
My local comic shop has a giant hardcover collection of Fletcher Hanks’ works that I keep eyeing. It’s incredibly tempting to buy & read and delve into not only the “making shit up as we go”-ness of his stories, but sheer and utter insanity – like, possibly legitimate, medical insanity.
591. The Flash
Golden Age, Jay Garrick flavored. Flash Week zooms ahead.
