Why is he looking anyway? The nurse already took an x-ray and that should be enough. He's just showing off. And I bet he looked at the nurses knickers as well on the way out. 

Ok, so she's a Doctor, not a nurse. He's checking out her knickers either way. Superman? Snooperman more like.

So we're under the working assumption that that IS Superman?  Did you print it out and connect the dots just to make sure?

Since it's an obsolete method of comics creation, whenever I see a good deal on hand-painted color guides I feel morally obligated to give them a good home! I recently scored THE ENTIRE BOOK'S WORTH of guides for Betty And Me #184 with colors done by longtime Archie and Marvel colorist Barry Goldman. Nice little piece of history to preserve and enjoy.

Matt Nelson answers basic grading questions from Storage Wars.

Of interest is the reason why CGC will put one incomplete book in a blue label and another in a green label. I don't agree, but at least they have a methodology for it.

DC Cancels Shazam!: The Monster Society of Evil Reprint Over Content Concerns

Quote

DC Comics has canceled the scheduled hardcover collection Shazam!: The Monster Society of Evil Deluxe Edition over content concerns. The news was first revealed today via retailer Ryan Higgins’ Twitter account.

The hardcover would have collected the entire 24-chapter 1940’s Golden Age serial introducing Mr. Mind, a genius two-inch worm who joins with the Monster Society of Evil to destroy Captain Marvel. The collection was slated to include essays by Fawcett Comics expert P.C. Hamerlinck and comics historian Michael Uslan.

While the arc is considered a touchstone in comic book history, both from a writing and artistic perspective, it is also a product of its time and, as such, comes with some cultural baggage. The content DC is most likely concerned about involves racist caricatures and dialogue.

The comics cast a group of Asian characters — replete with slanted eyes and thick-rimmed glasses — as members of the Monster Society of Evil and adherents of the “Tokyo Torture Temple.” Another panel shows a Black person depicted in a racist fashion, speaking in intensely problematic vernacular.

While the historically-minded will no doubt be disappointed in DC’s decision to can the collection, it’s reasonable to argue that such arcs containing controversial material have no business being lavishly reproduced today. The cancellation also comes just as Warner Bros. is ramping up marketing for its upcoming film Shazam!
