If There's A BATMAN '66...

Chuck_Melville

Someone on one of my Facebook groups asked an interesting question.

If DC is willing to do a Batman '66 comic, why can't it also do a Superman '52?

I'd buy that in a New York minute!

Or a Wonder Woman 77?

Marvel could get in on the fun and do a Hulk '78

OTOH, I hold no reverence at all for TV's Hulk.

The 2nd issue of Batman 66 fixed the coloring/bluring issues from the first issue.

They weren’t “issues” per se. The coloring was done intentionally that way by the artist, Jonathan Case, to achieve a certain effect. It didn’t look good in my eyes either, but in his back-up story in the second issue, they brought in a colorist this time, and though he used the same technique of adding a line of cyan offset from the black linework, it was much more subtle than the way Case did it, and the new colorist didn’t use the faux dot patterns that Case used in the first issue, which helped immensely.

Bah! Hulk smash puny non-believer!

But, then, I was in third grade when the show aired, so I didn’t judge quite as harshly back then. To be honest, if the comic were to follow the show’s format, it would be a pretty boring book.

Make that Wonder Woman ’75, and I’m in. I much prefer the WWII episodes.

They did it back then. Just pick up the second volume of "The Rampaging Hulk".

The Thing '79

Teen Benjy Grimm touches together his magic rings and says, "Thing ring, do your thing!" ...turning himself into the rocky superhero.

We are in accord.

Only if he can FINALLY meet the Flintstones.

Only if its done in black and white with a grey wash. The first season of the Adventures of Superman feels more like a collection of 30 minute movies rather than a TV show.

You could do it as a mix, actually, since most of the series was filmed in color. Maybe one black & white story and two in color per issue?

Only if we get a Debra Winger-esque Wonder Girl to show up.

You should read this ...it will put the fear of Banner back in you...

It's a chronological list of every event that caused Banner to Hulk-out...

My favorite:
68. Being placed in a cage with an angry gorilla

Wow, David Banner sure spent a lot of time getting beat up by the mob, scalded in the face by super-heated/supercooled liquid/gas, trapped in rooms with fire and/or wild animals and falling down stairs.
