Back in Green Lantern/Power Girl #1 (Oct. 2000), Felicity Raymond (formerly Felicity Smoak) was shown working for Karen Starr (Power Girl’s secret identity). Apparently Felicity’s computer skills earned her a high-ranking position in Karen’s company, Starrware. Green Lantern/Power Girl #1 […]
DC Wall Calendar – 1986
Back in 1986 I desperately wanted a DC Comics wall calendar. Most old school fans probably remember the advertisement in the back of the DC Comics at the time. If not, you can check it out over on the DC Comics of the 1980s blog. The calendar consisted of eight different drawings, each by different […]
Janus Directive Advertisement – 1989
Who remembers “The Janus Directive”? If you don’t, it was an 11-part crossover that ran through five DC comics back in mid-1989 (Checkmate, Suicide Squad, Manhunter, Captain Atom, and Firestorm).

Tribute to Scott Clark, Brightest Day Penciller
Back in February, artist Scott Clark passed away at the far-too-young age of 43. Scott was probably best known to Firestorm fans as the amazing penciller who contributed the Firestorm-centric pages to Brightest Day. Scott Clark broke into superhero comics during the 1990s and worked for years in conjunction with Jim Lee’s WildStorm studio. Scott worked […]
