Scans of Batwoman She made her 1st Appearance in Detective Comics #233  Later Version of the Costume in that time frame and I feel that they took a step down from the original!
Although I prefer Batman's outfit to Batwoman's you make a very strong argument on her behalf - especially with regards to how black is incorporated into her outfit as an ever present shadow.
Looking at the two pictures above I see your point about the latter being a "step down". Interestingly, it reminded me of something I used to wonder about Batman's costume. Why did a guy who was already dressed as a bat with the ears and cape/wings need a bat emblem on his chest? It just seemed redundant. Of course, it looks better that way, but it was an issue nicely sidestepped by Batwoman whose outfit looked complete without a bat logo anywhere.
Still, Batman at Number 11 and Batwoman at Number 5? I see what you mean when you say your Number One pick will surprise everybody. Looking forward to it!

I didn't know that Giganta used to be a relatively human-scale giantess rather than the 100-foot tall kind I thought I remembered seeing from later comics. I like the older version better, they should go back to that.

Thank you, Mecha and commenters, for a most enjoyable and illuminating thread. Regarding a couple of Mecha's Black Canary scans in his 9/15 post: That shot of Larry Lance's craggy profile from Brave and the Bold #61 reminded me of Carter Hall from Hawkman #9 (a panel I remembered from its inclusion in Craig Shutt's Baby Boomer Comics)--take a look:   The B&B and Hawkman artist is the masterful Murphy Anderson (as if that's not obvious  ) and what's more, these two comics were both cover-dated Aug/Sept 1965, on sale at the same time. Plus, I now know why Dick Dillin's Dinah in Justice League of America #73 (l.) always seemed so familiar to me:   |

Number Three  This is the (Official) 1st Picture of Superman in the offices of National Comics that was painted by H.J. Wray back in 1940 with Metropolis in the background. My all-time favorite picture of Superman! His long-time and enduring romance with Lois Lane ...  Legendary, Majestic, Over Powering, One of the most iconic character of all-time - Faster than a Speeding Bullet, More Powerful than a Locomotive, able to reach tall buildings in a single bound - During this time period he was a Superhero that everyone talks about and was on the lips on every American because he was a Man with a conscience, has strong morals, and most of all wanted to help everyone that he could. You just can't go wrong with his costume. His costume is virtually recognizable and that logo with the big Red S and the glorious set-up of Blue Suit, Red Trunks and Cape, and most importantly with the right touch of yellow to make his costume stand out in the crowd. You just can't go wrong with it! For my Scans - I'm focusing on my attention to Kirk Alyn - One of my sentimental favorites and an actor in the 40's.

Scans of Superman
Part 2 of 3  Kirk Alyn made two complete movie serials Superman (1948)Superman (1948) is a 15-part black-and-white Columbia film serial based on the comic book character Superman starring an uncredited Kirk Alyn (billed only by his character name, Superman; but credited on the promotional posters) and Noel Neill as Lois Lane. Like Batman, it is notable as the first live-action appearance of Superman on film and for the longevity of its distribution. The serial was directed by Thomas Carr, who later directed many early episodes of the Adventures of Superman television show, and Spencer Gordon Bennet, produced by Sam Katzman and shot in and around Los Angeles, California. It was originally screened at movie matinées and after the first three scene-setting chapters, every episode ends in a cliffhanger. The Superman-in-flight scenes are animations, in part due to the small production budget. Atom Man verses Superman (1950)Atom Man vs. Superman (1950), Columbia's 43rd serial and the second live-action Superman screen appearance, both featuring Kirk Alyn as Superman, finds Lex Luthor (Lyle Talbot), secretly the Atom Man, blackmailing the city of Metropolis by threatening to destroy the entire community. Perry White (Pierre Watkin), editor of the Daily Planet, assigns Lois Lane (Noel Neill), Jimmy Olsen (Tommy Bond) and Clark Kent (Kirk Alyn) to cover the story. Kirk Alyn in Color

I'm saving that for my Silver Age Countdown!!! Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman debuted in 1977. Bronze Age rather than Silver Age. BUT her adventures were set in the Golden Age/WWII. That'w why WW's comics shifted to Earth-Two for a while in the 70s. If using scans from different ages, why not use one of Carter? |
