Batman and Sons: 70 and Counting

Celebrating Batman’s 70th anniversary.

You may not see their names, but it doesn't mean they are not there.

To all the writers, artists, inkers, letterers, colorists, editors and anyone who helped to bring this great character to life (Yes, even you, Grant Morrison), I thank you.

Batman's first appearance in Detective 27, May 1939, according this site [link] the comic book was released on April 18, 1939.

Super Holiday.

So what is 'Super Holiday'? Well... it's Chris Kent's Birthday!

There are no major holidays in the United States in the month of August and since I'm loosely following Batman: Long Halloween, a birthday celebration it is!

So where's the cake?

Labor Day

Halloween...

My tribute to Jeph Loeb & Tim Sale comes to an end.

Oooo... did this year go by fast or what?

Though we may have our opinions about the writers and artists who give life to our favorites characters, where some are considered god-like or good to evacuate one's stomach, their impact to the world of comics are and will be felt for years to come. I know for myself, when I pick up my pencil, I remember those who are my greatest influence and hope with my first stroke on the paper that I can be just as good as they are.

This is the end to my tribute to Mr. Loeb and Mr. Sale, but it’s only the beginning. There are many I hope one day to honor, so keep a lookout for them.
