Re: Merry Christmas 2025

My son, Grayson … Okay, I HAVE to ask… I told myself that my first born son would be named, "Grayson". God bless my wife for going along with the choice. I actually wanted his middle name to be "Ward" but my loving wife drew the line at the first name. She wasn't too keen on &qu...

Re: The Latest Batman Item You've Acquired?

I must admit, I never liked Calnan's work but, let's face it, when you're used to Adams or Novick or Aparo (especially in the early to mid 70's), it's hard to see anyone else do the art chores. Andy, if you would have never told me that Colletta did the inking, I never would have guessed. And you're...

Re: Hang Five Tiki - Mai Tai - Zombie glasses

So is the design a water slide decal or is it screen printed or did you paint by hand? Nice job either way!

If I remember from my youth correctly, it floated, Andy, but listed to one side.

Re: The Dynamic Duo, FINALLY together again!

Flat out, incredible, Chuck!! Great skill in capturing Burt's likeness and thanks for not making him look like a doofus but like a determined hero. This makes your work a work of art. Octave Marbot couldn't have done any better.

Re: Happy Holidays!

Loved my Corgi Batmobile/Batboat combo, those cool blue Bat slippers, shaped like Robin's boots, the neat dart gun target board with the Joker's face on it that I got for gifts when the Bat-craze was in full swing during the show. May you all be surrounded by those you love during this Christmastide...

Re: Just came across this interesting interview with Frank Foster III about his father’s creation of Batman in 1932!

So, I guess the next question is... Andy (and any other artists on the board), does the drawing look like a 1930's artist would have drawn it that way (posing, facial features, clothing details, etc) at that time? What details do you see that would match any pulp artists' styles of that time and are...

Re: Just came across this interesting interview with Frank Foster III about his father’s creation of Batman in 1932!

Plus, it's almost too perfect that the alternate name just happens to be the name first used to give Superman a Kryptonian alternative to "Batman" when he and Jimmy Olsen were fighting crime in the bottled city of Kandor and is now used for Dick Grayson's heroics. I wonder if there's a way...
