If I Had A Buck... Comedy Gold!

Martinex1: Sometimes even a Super-Hero needs a little humor in his day.   So this time around, If I Had A Buck... focuses on the various heroic forays into comic book comedy. And I am not talking about battles with jokers, tricksters, and jesters!

Just for fun I threw in a couple non-spandex funny books too.

Some are ironic, some filled with parody, some just have humor on the cover, and some are loaded with jokes on every page. Did you like this type of book or did it turn you off?  Share your thoughts. 

A special thanks to Redartz for his search and contribution to the cover selection.  And of course accolades to the Mike's Amazing World of Comics site for the extensive archives.

Make your selections and let your fellow BABsters in on the joke.   Four comics for a dollar.  It's a small price to pay as we all know laughter makes the world go 'round.

  

  

  

  

Readers' Write (12): Spotlight On... Steve Gerber

While Karen and Doug are on vacation in January, our readers have been entrusted with carrying on the daily conversations.  Today's "Spotlight On..." is a do-it-yourselfer.  As we've done in the past, the first commenter gets to pick today's topic of conversation.

Generally speaking, "Spotlight On..." is for single creators.  For example, in the past we've started conversations on Rich Buckler, John Romita, and Joe Sinnott.  We'd appreciate conversations that lean toward the positive side of things; rip jobs should be avoided.  This is not to say that we don't tolerate honesty, but let's try to keep the focus on the meritorious aspect of a life spent in comics.

Thanks for holding it down for us!

Readers' Write (3): Who's the Best... Anthropomorphic Character?

While Karen and Doug are on vacation in January, our readers have been entrusted with carrying on the daily conversations.  Today's "Who's the Best?" is a do-it-yourselfer.  As we've done in the past, the first commenter gets to pick today's topic of conversation.

Generally speaking, "Who's the Best?" is for historical topics.  For example, in the past we've started conversations such as "Who's the Best -- Thor Artist?" and "Who's the Best -- Frankenstein Monster?"  Start a conversation that is broad enough to elicit an ongoing conversation, and that even might lend itself to tangential musings.

Thanks for holding it down for us!

Anonymous and Redartz say:  Today we're talking about favorite characters in the vein of Rocket Racoon, Howard the Duck, etc.  Who's the best?
