Ok, what's the lowdown on DC?

[Scrooge]

Was DC the most prolific Golden Age publisher?

indubitably

 

That's a big word for a Florida grad

 

I believe you're right. The only potential challenger as usual would be Dell but they didn't have as many series as DC I believe but were putting out long-running series: Famous Funnies, Popular, Tip Top, Crackajack, ... but after a serious accounting, I can still see DC ahead.

Atlas far outpaced them during the time they published but I don't think it was enough for them to catch up to DC.

 

Correct, but he stated Golden Age and the ramp up by Atlas happened post-GA so Timely over the period in consideration is clearly being as you understate.

The only reason people collect GA DC is because Spidey wasnt created yet.

I tried to collect Spidey, but Peter Parker was such a girly-man cry baby, I had to switch to some real heroes.

Its amazing that Bats and Spidey have similar origins, yet are so different. Spidey has given us 50 years of whiny cry-baby nonsense, Bats 70 years of healthy azz whoopings. Yet people still collect that whiny emo cry baby book.

 

God I love DC.

I always thought that Batman was one-step away from psychotic. He was totally obsessed with revenge after his parents death. Peter Parker became a hero by accident. He didn't want to be one and he was a little self-absorbed as teens tend to be. I like em both. Grew up with Spidey but always admired Batman.

Parker = relatable

Wayne = psycho (or relatable if you are psycho)

Men showing their emotional side - still unfashionable apart from in Comics General.

Batman = someone who suffers tragedy in childhood and rather than wallowing in self-pity uses that motivation to develop his talents to be able to do what he can to prevent something similar happening to others.

 

Spidey = someone who gains great power by accident, avoids responsibility resulting in tragedy and then continues to wallow in self-pity while taking some actions to help others.

Batman - dresses up in tights and hangs around after dark with very young children.

 

Spider-Man - dresses up and gets plenty of hot women.
