 This has to be the first time a hero caught his wife cheating in comics. From Sword of the Atom #1. |

I just thought of another one: Jonah Hex's birthday is 1st November (he's a Scorpio). Dunno why this stuck in my head when I read it in some comic or other, but it did. Maybe because it's All Hallows Day? Spoo-oo-oo-ky... |

Did you guys know that Superman's from a whole other planet? Also, Spider-Mans uncle was killed, Batmans parents were killed, and Wonder Woman's an Amazon. I know: I've just blown your minds.

Best Bob Rozakis 'Answer Man' exchange with a reader:
"Q: Did you know that Bruce Wayne is Batman?"
"A: Yeah, did you?"

Did you know that during WWII some publishers began to use just one staple for comics due to wartime rationing? Huh? Didja? Huh?

In the UK, paper rationing during the war result in D.C Thomson & Co, the publishers of Britain's then most popular weekly comics Beano and Dandy, cutting their frequency to fortnightly and publishing them on alternate weeks. |

Bob Haney edition:
Batman once sold his soul to Hitler by shaking his fist at the sky and shouting "Batman wants to live!" when trapped in a well. And yes, "Batman wants to live" were his exact words. Brave the Bold 108.
While still a Lieutenant, James Gordon shot a man he thought was pointing a weapon at him. As it turned out however, the man was an unarmed alien being. What did Gordon - thinking that he had just murdered an innocent person - do? He buried the body that evening and told no one what had happened until Batman confronted him about it decades later. Brave and the Bold 139.
Forced to decide between blowing his cover when disguised as a criminal and letting an innocent person be shot in the chest, Superman once chose the latter. But it's OK, because after dumping the body in a ditch, Superman returned to perform super speed surgery on the guy and bring him back from the brink of death. Brave and the Bold 150.
The Atom once enabled Batman to finish a case from beyond the grave by shrinking himself down and jumping around on different parts of the deceased crime fighter's brain. Brave and the Bold 115. |

This has to be the first time a hero caught his wife cheating in comics. From Sword of the Atom #1. Not only that, she was apparently cheating on him with Tony Stark. Typical of that sleaze not to tell her his real name. |

Typical of that sleaze not to tell her his real name. I guess that's why Ray Palmer in the television universe stole Tony's shtick and became an armored hero, revenge on Tny for stealing his wife! The Atom a la DC TV...  -M |

The Atom once enabled Batman to finish a case from beyond the grave by shrinking himself down and jumping around on different parts of the deceased crime fighter's brain. Brave and the Bold 115. # 150 is also the issue in which Superman, while still 'undercover', is apparently shown demonstrating a power he does not have: Intangibility, which allows him to walk through a solid brick wall, and rematerialize. When letter-writers called Haney on this-nobody said Aparo screwed up the art, it looked good, anyway-the explanation from Haney, handed down by editor Paul Levitz-was that Superman flew into the room so quickly, it 'looked like' he was a 'ghost' walking through walls. It was that 60s-style, 'No, we didn't goof, you just didn't realize that [name of character] was [doing something we pulled out of our editorial nether regions to justify another 'Haney Howler'] explanation. I think readers and/or DC editorial had had enough of this, since Haney was reassigned to Green Arrow's World's Finest feature not long after. |
