Diana battled against a mad Swiss architect and his dreaded "Plan Voisin." I think it's the only comic in history to feature a giant robot made of reinforced concrete.Harvey Jerkwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07118848012122050416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1135176241300583432005-12-21T09:44:00.000-05:002005-12-21T09:44:00.000-05:00You know, the idea that the Silver Age writers wer...You know, the idea that the Silver Age writers were cleverer than people give credit are one the main reasons Grant Morrison writes... heheJulio Oliveirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03191222684432534567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1135170734349438502005-12-21T08:12:00.000-05:002005-12-21T08:12:00.000-05:00Oh, it takes almost no time at all, I assure!Oh, it takes almost no time at all, I assure!Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217376618860561999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1135170044343967262005-12-21T08:00:00.000-05:002005-12-21T08:00:00.000-05:00Exactly how much time per day do you devote to res...Exactly how much time per day do you devote to researching Hal Jordan's faults?naladahchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02105525754360171571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1135155026175199542005-12-21T03:50:00.000-05:002005-12-21T03:50:00.000-05:00I wonder if the wall was yellow...I wonder if the wall was yellow...Diamondrockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03489418142341597119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1135153459637515092005-12-21T03:24:00.000-05:002005-12-21T03:24:00.000-05:00Kali, you need to read Showcase, trust me.

Which issue is it in? He seems to go to the future almost as often as he hits his head. I read the one today where he breaks the ball off a banister, almost crashes his car because of a newspaper, and brags about it to Carol blaming it on a jinx.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1135120018629401552005-12-20T18:06:00.000-05:002005-12-20T18:06:00.000-05:00so that's what we have in common!so <I>that's</I> what we have in common!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16491386537225283381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1135116079086917362005-12-20T17:01:00.000-05:002005-12-20T17:01:00.000-05:00Well, it IS the highlight of his day.Every day.Well, it IS the highlight of his day.<BR/><BR/>Every day.Scipiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217376618860561999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11737441.post-1135115616345279362005-12-20T16:53:00.000-05:002005-12-20T16:53:00.000-05:00---that wall!!!Hal seems so excited about the pros...---that wall!!!<BR/><BR/>Hal seems so excited about the prospect of hitting his head again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
