Mogo The Bat-Ape


In honor (?) of The Dark Knight and its record shattering ways, lets remember a time when Batman used to make our jaw drop in horror for entirely different reasons. Reasons like Mogo the Bat-Ape... wearing a mask... so people won't recognize him as Mogo. The only way this comic book cover could be more awesome is if Mogo was a Ninja Bat-Ape and the crooks on the roof were some sort of zombie robot pirates.

Gosh, I Hope They Work Things Out...


Back in the day, comics didn't need foil enhanced lenticular holograms or alternate covers painted by Alex Ross to sell more copies. Back in the day, it seems you just needed to give out a little sweet chin music to a missus who didn't know her place and thus be crowned "The Magazine With the Widest Range of Appeal!" I bet is has. Dames...

This is why my drug of choice is reading old true crime comics (and by reading I mean looking at pictures... there are too many words in those word balloons.) With old true crime comics, there's simply no limit to the magical worlds you can discover.

You'll Never Forget Your First Googam


You know, I sure won't forget MY first Googam. Sure, he basically ruined my living room, reaching in with his surprisingly foul smelling fingers, each one the size of chunky alligator. He reached in, smashing the window, pulled out our couch and swallowed it whole. You see, Goom (his dad) never really got Googam into good dental habits and he basically was all gums. He left after taking the couch, but he looked back first, with those little round eyes, so angry but yet, behind them, there was something more. Something, I will now admit, that thrilled me as never before.

Insurance basically covered the mess.
