Are you ready for some retro-futurism? In 1965, DC came up with a completely pointless but totally awesome story about Superman's descendant (also Superman) kicking it in 2965, where everything is exactly the same, but in the future. Clark Kent is Klar Ken T547, Perry White is a robot called PW-9588, and they all work for the Daily Interplanetary News...

I recently posted a gallery of the most expensive comics in the world, and it turns out some guy in Dallas has been sitting on a bunch of them, including Marvel Comics #1 and Batman #1. What makes him particularly lucky, though, is that unlike most kids who just threw their comics around in the pre-collectors era, Ralph Chicorel "loved the artwork so much that I took real good care of them...

Long before Jesse Reklaw was turning people's dreams into comic strips in Slowwave, Captain America creators Jack Kirby and Joe Simon were actually BUYING PEOPLE'S DREAMS and turning them into comic books for 'The Strange World of Your Dreams...

I know that not everybody is into the 'X-Men' cartoon from the 90s, and I can understand why -- there's a lot of cheesy dialogue, chopping plotting and blah blah blah. I don't care. The 'X-Men' cartoon was what got me into comics, period. I was 11 years old, and every single Saturday I had a whole ritual that involved eating chocolate chips and watching 'X-Men' and screaming bloody murder at anyon

-Superman, Batman, and Spider-Man team get saved from an evil magician by a guru in this amazing vintage Indian comic of slightly broken English and snakes getting shot into people's mouths.
