Comments on this: none yet. Add your own.  There's a long standing tradition of Batman being translated into other languages. Part of that tradition is doing so without, shall we say, prior approval of Time-Warner-DC, as we've discussed before. Ethan Persoff has posted a great find: a bootleg Vietnamese Batman comic. If you look at the cover there, it's obvious that's taken from a pic of Adam West as Batman. And some of the interior art seems to have been traced from classic Batman stories. I love how there's a couple of cases where Batman is looking right of panel and it's the same drawing...and then when he's looking left of panel, they've just reversed the same pose. Sort of like what a lot of artists do today to save time and effort, huh? For pages and pages and pages. Categorized as: Comics

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own.  At the recent New York Comic Con, DC Comics had a promotional poster for the women of DC Universe called "The Real Power of the DC Universe". Drawn by artist Adam Hughes, this is done in a similar style to group fashion shots you would see in Vanity Fair or Harper's Bazaar. The roster from left to right (click the pic for the full version): Catwoman, Oracle, Zatanna, Black Canary, Power Girl, Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Batwoman, Vixen, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn. Of course, there have been some complaints. For instance, there are no female Legionaries, no Big Barda, and no Lois Lane. The biggest complaint, though, has been 'Where are the boys of the DCU'? Fair's fair, I think plenty of comics fans would like to see some super beefcake. Categorized as: Comics

Comments on this: none yet. Add your own.  For those of you at New York Comic-Con who enjoy a bit of alcohol, here's a brief addendum to our previous list of comic-inspired drinks that Doc and I conspired on. If you try these, let us know how it goes. The Spider Jerusalem. The highest proof liquor in the liquor cabinet, plus a handful of random pills from the medicine cabinet. The Filthy Assistant. The beer you chase the Spider with. The Quitely. The drink you're allergic to and it makes your face swell up. The Hitch. The drink that takes forever to show up. In all fairness, when it finally does arrive, it tastes great. The Liefeld. A drink so strong it makes you feel like you don't have feet anymore. The Alan Moore. Absinthe and whiskey. Served with a large snake. With a button of peyote in the bottom. Of the snake. Categorized as: Comics

Comments on this: just one. Add your own.  Comics Reporter apparently invited folks to "Name Five Characters From Comics That Should Have a Mixed Drink Named After Them; Provide A Recipe For One Of The Drinks." Prof. Gallaher's list was here and he asked what his readers' would be. I came up with ten. Recipes for every one. Because I couldn't stop myself. I don't drink anymore. But I probably would have had every one of these during my college years. Ah, good times. The Midnighter. Coffee, three espressos, kahlua. Serve moderately warm. Categorized as: Comics
