Coming Monday to Hero Histories...

Riddle Me This, Caped Crusader Aficionados...

...how many of the legendary 1960s TV series' episodes were based on actual comic book stories?
The answer is...more than you think!

There's even a book reprinting a number of those graphic tales...but not all of them!

But, did you know a 1960s TV series tie-in novel with an original story (not a novelization of series episodes or the feature film) also adapted several comic stories into its' narrative?

We re-presented (starting HERE) this never-reprinted, original 1966 novel by "Winston Lyon" (actually noted Golden Age/Silver Age comics writer William Woolfolk) which combined elements of both the comic book and TV series versions of the Caped Crusader!

What we didn't realize at the time, was how much of the comic book version was actually taken directly from the comics!

Three different comics stories, each one featuring a different villain/villainess, were utilized to present multi-chapter crimes to baffle the Dynamic Duo!
We're presenting these tales in the order the foul fiends perpetuate their perfidy in the novel, along with links to the actual chapters for each one...

Friday Fascist Fun UNQUOTABLE TRUMP "Subjective Comics"

From Now Until Election Day, We'll Be Presenting Examples of How Creatives See Don da Con...

"I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?" now-convicted felon Don da Con remarked at a January 2016 campaign stop at Dordt College in Sioux Center, Iowa.

"It's, like, incredible."

"Frightening" is more like it!

Based on the cover for DC's Detectyive Comics #69 (1942) by Jerry Robinson!

DETECTIVE COMICS' "Skeleton Cases" Gets Pulp-Style Artist!

It's always a pleasure when someone you know makes a career breakthrough.
I'm pleased to say that noted artist Francesco Francavilla (whose Green Hornet and Zorro work I'm constantly plugging) is bringing his pulp/noir-stylings to DC Comics' flagship title...Detective Comics!
He'll be handling the new backup feature "Skeleton Cases", featuring Commissioner Gordon.
Personally, I think it's just a matter of time before they give him the lead strip as well!
