Strange, the tangled web of these characters.

Also on the OHOTMU front, turns out the Essential I saw at the Used Book Store was the ’89 Update, so no podcast on that yet.

Just wanted to add that for a lot of folks, such as myself, Lock-Up may best be remembered for a self-titled episode of Batman: The Animated Series, where he was portrayed as the guard at Arkham Asylum which the INMATES were scared of. The best scene in the episode is him facing a review board, where one after the other the Bat Rogues sit down to testify, and then falter and refuse. Lock-Up eventually gets a costume and proposes to Batman that they work together (Bats catching the bad guys, and he keeping them imprisoned forever); needless to say this does not go well, they fight, Lock-Up gets jacked up, roll credits.

“Best Remembered” may itself be a bit of overstatement as this is a middle of the road episode which did not make much of an impression, but I will always remember the character due to this appearance.

Could it be that one group of characters are not a bunch of insulting stereotypes while the others are?

11. Sometimes sensitive artist Rob peeks out. You don’t want to OHOTMU? So don’t OHOTMU! What, it was just a suggestion?

12. The designation “Master Edition” was derived from its role in the dom/subbie paradigm with Marvel readers. “You’ll take these bland stock art turnarounds and thin, vague single page copy and like it, zombie!”

13. Martin, that was a bit of especially unpleasant gallows humor regarding the parallel between the end of each creator’s run. Nobody was really sure if they were from the House of Lords
