Also...since there's not a thread in the funnybook section for random thoughts...or I don't remember one. In his first appearance Plastic Man takes on his gang of robbers. In his second appearance he takes an opium ring. In his third he saves us from the scourge of...Pinball! One of these things is not like the other... And ya'll don't take Fredric Wertham seriously. Smh I take Wertham's danger to the American way of life very seriously. Guy was a menace. And a threat.

I read and reread "Seduction of the Innocent" when I was a kid and found it, to my shock and delight, in my little old hometown library. Unlike Playboy, whihc everyone read for the articles, I read SOTI for the pictures.

Don't forget the time he became a crazy reefer addict!

Years ago Denis Kitchen said he was going to reprint it. Unfortunately, it never happened.

I'd read Seduction of the Innocent given the chance I could find an affordable copy. But curiosity isn't justification for the average $50 I see them selling for. Morals have always fascinated me whether I agree with them or not.

I just can't imagine Dracula taking a shower.
He must smell terrible.

I just can't imagine Dracula taking a shower. He must smell terrible. Well, according to Bram Stoker, being caught in flowing water destroys vampires so Drac has no doubt learned to "live" with the stink. Cei-U! I summon the terminal case of b.o.!

Dracula must smell like musty old bat farts.

Totally random question - Is there a place where I could buy a copy of Superman's trunks ?

For the second time in three years I fried my computer with water. This time my wife placed a small plant in an open jar containing water on the table And I brushed up against it. The water went through the back and onto the board. It immediately turned off and hasn't started since. I refuse to pay 800 bucks to fix it so I'm relegated to using my iPad. The part that makes me angry is that all my comic data was on it without back ups.

Dante never mentioned it, but there must be a special circle of Hell for the people who talk $#@ about competitive martial artists on Youtube.
Anyone who makes it to a world championship held on the othe side of the planet is worthy of respect, even if they get beaten by someone even better.
