Yeah, that Batman Confidential art is not very good at all.
Every Day Is Like Wednesday —
... linked to a post by a "bluefall" on Scans-Daily about the issue, where you can see a few more pages of the book. It doesn't look like it gets much better--they even seem to have turned old Blackhawk villain Killer Shark from a goofy villain who dresses in a shark motif into yet another generic shark-man monster character, probably necissating DCU law enforcement to round him up along with King Shark and The Shark to do a line-up whenever someone files a report about a shark-man attack. ...
Why Do We Care: Do We Never Learn?
ink destroyed my brush —
I'm reminded of the old Oingo Boingo song while I read through this series of messages on Live Journal and found myself thinking, again, about the level of emotional investment that we get in what are, lets say it out loud, CORPORATE PROPERTIES. ...

waffyjon.blogspot.com 4/16/2009 — And with this installment, we should wrap up Blackhawk! As you can see, by issue 210, the standard Blackhawk uniforms were long gone! Issue 220 Issue 230 - the most infamous Blackhawk issue of all! Issue 240 - small wonder the series got cancelled not too long after this, eh? ...
Catman--Batman's Swipe of Blackhawk?
sacomics.blogspot.com 7/7/2009 — This one requires a bit of explanation.

The Brave and the Bold. How many people remember the days of Bob Haney and Jim Aparo on the original Brave and the Bold title? One of the great things about that book was the one shot stories. Every issue told a complete story in one issue. Aparo's artwork was excellent. Haney did a good job ...

Blackhawk Serial Trailer
booksteveslibrary.blogspot.com 9/16/2009 — BLACKHAWK premiered from Quality Comics in 1941 and the strip floundered on for some years after World War II, eventually shifting to DC in the late fifties. Why they would choose to make this serial (starring Kirk "SUPERMAN" Alyn) as late as 1952 is a mystery. Interesting to note the ...

waffyjon.blogspot.com 4/14/2009 — And how, the DC years! As you can see by issue 110's cover, when DC took over the title, it pretty much went wacky right away, with transformations worthy of Jimmy Olsen and more! Here's issue 120's cover... makes me suspect DC had no idea what they were going to do with the title after ...
