	comic books of the 1960's / 1960s comic books
		A study of some of the best Marvel comic books of the sixties is coming, but someone else will have to do that, because I preferred the simple and less serious approach to storytelling that DC took to the angst ridden Marvel heroes of the time.
		Kurt Shaffenberger was one of the slickest artist in DC's stable, and the 'Lois Lane' comics of the sixties were a lot of fun to read mostly because of his unique renderings of the DC stable of characters.
		These comic books are ice cream for the brain, and much of the reason they are so much fun has to do with Shaffenberger's pristine style and the light-hearted, nonsensical stories.

	Showcase (comics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This is generally cited as the beginning of the Silver Age of Comic Books, as it was followed by the successful updating of several other Golden Age superheroes, and an upswing in the popularity of comics (superheroes especially).
		In 2005, DC began publishing thick, fl-and-white reprints of older material under the umbrella title Showcase presents.
		However, DC decided to capitalize on Kirby's recent move from Marvel and launch the books as full series instead of using Showcase as the standard tryout.

	DC Comics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		DC Comics should not be confused with British comic publisher D.C. Thomson.
		DC's extended storylines in which Superman was killed and Batman was crippled, resulted in dramatically increased sales, but the increases were as temporary as the substitutes, and sales dropped off as industry sales went into a major slump.
		DC entered into a publishing agreement with Milestone Media that gave DC a line of comics featuring a culturally and racially diverse range of superhero characters; although the Milestone line ceased publication after a few short years, it yielded the popular animated series Static Shock.

		Their adventures followed the flow of other DC comics starting with "Strange Adventures", veering toward superheroics (during the Bat Craze), to occult menaces, through Bermuda Triangle weirdness, and finally to cancellation (1979).
		DC pushed "adventure" titles such as The Shadow and Tarzan (and paid to license both).
		In Amalgam Comics, the Challs were amalgamated with their super-powered counterparts, the Fantastic Four, to form the Challengers of the Fantastic.

	Showcase Presents Superman - PopMatters Comic Book Review
		DC is no slouch, of course, but has been slightly more conservative.
		DC's answer to the Marvel's Essential series finally offers readers the chance to explore the storied, strange and sometimes plain corny history of their favorite heroes.
		To enjoy these stories, one has to distance oneself from today's continuity driven comics environment and think like a child of the Silver Age, when attaching the word "atomic" was all a writer had to do to fire a reader's imagination.

	Sword & Sorcery - Your resource for fiction, interviews, articles, information & more
		The cover of DC Comics’ Showcase #82, from May 1969 actually bills that issue's Nightmaster story as “Beginning A Great New Sword & Sorcery Saga.” Nightmaster was a sword-wielding hero who wore superhero-ish blue tights and adventured in an alternate dimension.
		Crom, Nightmaster, and Clawfang are probably the earliest examples of comic book characters specifically geared toward the concept of sword-and-sorcery as a genre, but there were several characters in the history of comics who would fit the genre requirements.
		DC was trying out quite a few new titles and several of them were S&S. These included Claw the Unconquered, Kong the Untamed, and Stalker the adjective-less.

		Because of his connection science fiction (and the fact that many sci-fi authors who were friends of Schwartz were working at DC), when DC began Strange Adventures and Mystery in Space he was the natural candidate for editor.
		Showcase #5 had the stories that were presumably really scheduled for issue four, issue six however, was the introduction of another super type hero with the "Challengers of the Unknown".
		Showcase would continue to introduce new heroes from Adam Strange to Space Ranger and eventually Green Lantern, another "revived" hero from DC's past in issue 22.

	COMICON.com: Manga--NOT Comics Salvation
		Redefining comics or demonstrating an ignorance of the breadth of what the term refers to is a distraction that does not service your point.
		I would say that the main difference between manga and WEA comics would have nothing to do with what the the content of the work is, BUT moreso the market economics of the underlying industries.
		While there may not be a "vast women's culture involvement" in the making of commercial US comics, from my vantage point a large percentage of the active -amatuer- comics creators (whether they're striving to be pros or not) appear to be female.

	Elfquest and DC Comics
		DC's initial plans for Elfquest in manga form are to reissue the entire story of the Wolfriders in chronological order, beginning with the time of Bearclaw.
		Sometimes entire pages were able to be reduced in size to fit the manga format, sometimes Wendy would take a panel or two from one page of a story, add some new art, and fit the resulting action into the appropriate place in a different, but related, story.
		Manga comics, because of the small page size (usually something around 5 by 7 inches, compared to 7 by 10 inches for American comics) employ a different artistic vocabulary.

	Movie Poop Shoot - COMICS 101
		Although the series was by definition a little formulaic, with the team unfailingly meeting up at the beginning of each issue, meeting up with adversity in individual chapters, then reuniting to achieve victory in the final chapter, the stories had a surprising degree of social consciousness, championing such issues as democracy, charity, tolerance and brotherhood.
		DC Comics (formerly National) editor Julius Schwartz decided to give superheroes another shot in 1956, with the revival of the Flash in the pages of SHOWCASE #4.
		By the early 1980s, what was once a single DC Universe had now become the DC Multiverse, with at least 7 known parallel Earths, and presumably countless more waiting to be discovered.

		I’ve been recently reading the DcComic’s Presents showcase books, and having just picked up the House of Mystery edition of the series i thought id just do a quick overview of the whole thing.
		There’s not a whole lot i want to say about the books beyond the fact that they’re a great buy - though anyone whos read the Marvel comics Essential series is already familiar with the format il explain it for those of you who havent encounterd it before.
		The idea of the books is simple - classic comics from the 60’s and 70’s reprinted in bulk for cheap.

		Maybe DC knew what they were doing when they stalled as long as they did before reintroducing the Disembodied Detective.
		After years of being a pampered comics consumer, it was a rude awakening to go from the kindly assistance of Henry and Helen Heisenbuttel to be thrown into an uncaring consumer environment where it's every man for himself and good luck grabbing that last copy of this month's FANTASTIC FOUR!?!
		SHOWCASE#60 may not've been exactly the LAST comic I purchased at my local venue, but due to the prominent advertising campaign associated with it, it sticks out in my mind as one of the final purchases I made in blissful ignorance.

	Re: DC Showcase Presents Checklist
		I went to DC Comics' own website shortly after leading the last message in this thread and couldn't even find a mention there of the 2nd Teen Titans so I'm thinking it has been delayed until the fall.
		Asked my comic person and he said he remembered ordering it, but that DC may have just pulled it off the schedule for whatever reason.
		Read a mention of a possible Showcase volume that is rumored to be in the planning stages, which is to be about After the Disaster, and would include the Atomic Knights stories, the Hercules Unbound series (Wally Wood on some and Walt Simonson on the last couple) and other material that isn't even mentioned.

	Compare Prices and Read Reviews on John Broome - Showcase Presents Green Lantern 1 at Epinions.com
		By 1961, we see that Hal Jordan is only one of hundreds of Green Lanterns--a sort of space police force that each has their own part of the galaxy to watch over.
		The Green Lantern stories were some of the first in comic books to make use of arcs instead of being standalone stories, and events in one story will have an impact further down the road.
		The alien creatures and planetscapes Kane draws are beautiful (and would be more so in color), and it's telling that his design for the Green Lantern uniform is still the one being used by DC Comics today.
