Sorry Shag, the one I should have been shilling for Vol.III was Who's the Black Pirate? Got my wires crossed this morning.

Oh and something I don’t think you mentioned, but Black Canary II is one of those costumes whose first appearance was IN Who’s Who, premiering before it did in the post-Crisis universe. There are others, collect them all!

Black Manta: Most definitely swimming, or rather, floating. It works with the surprint where his feet are likewise pointed. I find it strange that it’s SHAG defending the pose!

You mention Monsieur Mallah and made me smile that you pronounce it Monsignor Mallah as if he were a member of the clergy. French tip: It’s more like Mess-yer. Oh, De got ahead of me (not surprising given I’m more than a month late listening). A related question: Why does Madame Rouge (“Mrs. Red”) only dress in blue?

Another great one, Episode 4 awaits!!

I missed two whole podcasts?! Gotta get back in the groove! Be back with comments later… like in the next couple weeks I guess. (Why do I have to WORK?!)

Conversation continued after I left, but I’m laying links, and stumbled upon it again. When I call Black Lightning an “Oreo,” it’s not because of specific elements so much as a gut reaction to a perceived lack of verisimilitude. White guys created Black Lightning, Jason Rusch, Black Goliath, Luke Cage, the Black Panther and the Falcon. Jason being a science geek doesn’t make him less black, but I suspect having CrissCross design him and Jamal Igle draw him makes him feel more black, not to mention his being written in a more sophisticated manner than ’70s liberal tropes. The white Tony Isabella’s “ownership” of Black Lightning always left a bad taste in my mouth, as it led to Black Vulcan and the marginalization of Trevor Von Eeden and Eddy Newell. Most of my experience with Jefferson Pierce coming from Mike Barr and Jim Aparo didn’t help. Growing up with black kids reading their Black Panther and Power Man comics written by Owsley/ Priest or Marcus McLauren or Dwayne McDuffie and drawn by Billy Graham or Denys Cowan or Mark Bright established their legitimacy to me.

Basically, Jefferson Pierce was a college educated guy whose idea of helping the ghetto was talking “street,” wearing an ugly costume with a plunging neckline and an afro wig stapled to a domino mask. Luke Cage might have been almost as silly, but he wasn’t shooting for an intentional parody of his own people like Black Lightning and his belt-powered taser.

I hate Rob and Shag. There i said it. Why? Because they make me want to go out and spend money thats why. Not only did i go out and re-buy the Who’s Who’s set to act as a companion piece to the podcast, now they’ve made me go track down the 1968 2 issue series for Brother Power The Geek! Thats right, I did it. Found them on ebay and I bought em. Maybe I’m not alone, maybe there will be a run on Brother Power back issues (because of this podcast) and those books will turn to pure gold!

Oh, and Bug N Byte. LOVE EM!
