Welcome back to a new RETRO REVIEW! And this week, I am looking at Doom Patrol # 100, cover dated December 1965 from DC Comics. The comic sports a cover both pencilled and inked by Bob Brown and features Elasti-Girl battling a dinosaur! I don’t know what it was about DC back in the Silver Age,…

DetailsI’m still in the midst of the “Big Move” So once again this week, I am bringing back one of my oldest RETRO REVIEWs for you reading enjoyment. This was originally posted in January 2010, so most of my readers of today will have not seen it before, and I suspect only of couple of…
DetailsWelcome back to Strange Times & Places, where we’ll be taking two weeks to examine two DC Comics stories that tackle similar themes with similar characters while being very different tales.
