Personally, I don't mind it. I mean, I prefer the grey body suit, but the red doesn't look awful either. |

Maybe it's just an ongoing series featuring the Rainbow Batman...  or this cover was the only color guide they had for the art  -M |

It might not strike terror in the hearts of criminals but it certainly would in the fashion police.

Remarkably poor taste in (presumably) a "joke" in this splash from an otherwise well-regarded issue of Brave & Bold:  |

Grey Morrow , co creator of the Man Thing, was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in the late 90's. He ended up dying from a self inflicted gunshot wound in 2001. He was in pretty bad shape, physically and financially, towards the end. I recall reading that he had created these pieces of favorite comic characters, from various sources, full color, for himself and was forced to sell them on eBay, to help pay bills. Really broke my heart reading that stuff, after his death, as I loved his artwork from the earliest point I encountered it. Similarly, when I heard of William Messner-Loebs first bout of financial troubles I couldn't believe that he wasn't getting work in the comic book field. That right there told me the wrong people were running comics, if the stories themselves hadn't already convinced me. Read something a while back of further trouble, and that he had been working, part time, for Panera. Something not right in this world. |

Joe Shuster was homeless and legally blind sleeping on benches in Florida years ago. A cop roused him and he said I'm Joe Shuster the creator of Superman. He drew a sketch for the cop. Pretty sure this was back in the 70's before Neal Adams had championed for him and Jerry Siegel before the Superman films came out.

I was going over some old Gerry Anderson fan magazines recently and thought this bit might be of interest and worth sharing...
Milton Finesilver, who worked at the publisher of TV Century 21, Lady Penelope and Solo comics in England, starting in early 1967...
" ...one of my jobs at that time was to check the post and open any that wasn't addressed to someone specific. One of the letters I opened was from a chap named Marv Wolfman, now an American comics writer, in those days a comics fan. Amongst other things he wanted were samples of Frank Bellamy's artwork and one of the things he was suggesting we ought to adapt was Star Trek. At that time I hadn't heard of Star Trek. So we passed on the letter to Frank Bellamy, Frank Langford, etc.. Years later Frank Langford - who drew Lady Penelope - his artwork turns up in American comic books because of Marv Wolfman, who became sort of an agent for some of our people."
Century 21 magazine No.3, Winter 1990 (David Nightingale publisher)
