A cascading cornucopia of cool comics, crazy cartoons, & classic collectables - plus other completely captivating & occasionally controversial contents. With nostalgic notions, sentimental sighings, wistful wonderings, remorseful ruminations, melancholy musings, rueful reflections, poignant ponderings, & yearnings for yesteryear. (And a few profound perplexities, puzzling paradoxes, & a bevy of big, beautiful, bedazzling, buxom Babes to round it all off.)

PART FOUR OF KEN REID'S THE NERVS...

From SMASH! & POW! #140, cover dated October 5th 1968, comes KEN REID's The NERVS. In later years, Reid often confused this strip with GEORGIE'S GERMS (which I don't think he ever actually drew), resulting in some modern-day comics commentators doing likewise. (The strips were similar, hence the easy confusion.) I suppose this strip was ODHAMS' answer to DCT's The NUMSKULLS (drawn originally by MALCOLM JUDGE), though The BEEZER strip never rose to the visual extravagance so evident in The Nervs.
Anyway, enjoy the pages, and feel free to comment.
PAUL GULACY'S BATMAN...

Hard to believe that these issues are now more than 30 years old, bought while living in another house in what seems another life away. I've always liked PAUL GULACY's art, and his style suits The BATMAN to a 't'. Written by DOUG MOENCH, whose Batman tales are extremely engaging, these two comics are just how the Dark Knight should be done. I've re-read quite a number of Mr. Moench's Bat-tales recently, and they really are top-notch entertainment. Well-worth seeking out on eBay, or buying a collected edition. Well - what are you waiting for?
