At some point in the last few months, I noticed everything happened in 1974. Well, okay so maybe not everything, and certainly not everything good. In the headlines that year, Richard Nixon resigned in disgrace to avoid impeachment in the…
I don’t know what’s worse, failing to update this site with no posts for months at a time, or ending that drought with an act of shameless self-promotion. But hey, we can’t really judge until I’ve done both, right? So…
It’s likely the first images I ever saw of Batman were created by Carmine Infantino. Sometimes I try to remember my first exposure to the character and I’ve just about decided it wasn’t through the comics, the TV show or…
