The Spectre and Percival Popp-Bernard Baily-1943

“Not a great scan but readable and I really couldn’t resist posting yet another Percival Popp the Super Cop episode of THE SPECTRE. The strip is so well remembered for its violent ghost hero that this era, which was brought in to replace that less popular premise, is forgotten or ignored. Basically, Spectre is stuck at being a permanently invisible helper to the clueless Percy. That’s all you need to know. Now enjoy.”

“DC’s fascination with gorillas in the Silver Age is well-documented. Supposedly it grew out of the fact that someone noticed that gorillas on the cover tended to sell more issues of a comic book. In perhaps the ultimate distillation of the gorilla theme, the company took its innocuous Jungle Jim clone, CONGO BILL, and gave him the ability to turn into a gorilla. Then, as far as I know…they never actually put him on a cover!”

“Five months after the smash hit release of the Tim Burton film, a new Batman comic strip ran in newspapers from 1989 to 1991. Following the film in spirit but set in an entirely new continuity, the first storyline was written by Max Allan Collins (Road to Perdition, creator of Post-Crisis Jason Todd) and illustrated by the late, great Marshall Rogers (Batman: Strange Apparitions, which still looks stellar today).”
