Ever run into some very odd version of a well known comic character not looking anything like you think they should? Sometimes it can be disturbing, other times like a peek at some alternate dimension.

There have been some very bizarre looking Wolverine and Batman images, especially from the '90s.

This Batman below, which I think might be credited to Paul Pope, is pretty damaged in an underground S. Clay Wilson sense...

What in the...?

This one is pretty close to everything I dislike to see in erstwhile fellow countryman Wolverine, long nails, pointed tongue, oversized teeth, spastic hair, and those bone claws to top it all off...

Anyone know where that Batman is from or have any examples of strange versions to compare?

Explains how his costume in the comics went from yellow/blue to brown/tan though! I am the best at what I do, and what I do is age rapidly and become banana bread!

Gimme a home on the ol' prairie where I can sit in my rockin' chair reading my favorite old comic books of yesteryear!

Gotta love these cos-players... Wonder Woman goes shopping!

I had a dream early on to go on The Gong Show, the original '70s Chuck Barris version, and have an act so wonderfully horrible that Artie Johnson would set a show record for the quickest gong. It takes a lot of talent and real character to be notably bad at something.

Looks like somebody threw Mimi from the Drew Carey show and Peg Bundy from Married with Children into a blender

From Batman Year 100....a 4-issue mini-series from around 2006 or so.

"I still regard Jesus Christ today as the chief focus of my perspective on God but not to the exclusion of other religious perspectives. God's reality is not bound by one manifestation of the divine in Jesus but can be found wherever people are being empowered to fight for freedom. Life-giving power for the poor and the oppressed is the primary criterion that we must use to judge the adequacy of our theology, not abstract concepts."

― James H. Cone
