Batman, Robin And Santa Claus

Holy Terrific Trio, Batman!  

Santa Claus joins the Dynamic Duo of Batman and Robin to help spread Christmas cheer on this cover by Jack Burnley for Batman #27 (February-March, 1945).

Remembering Artist Kurt Schaffenberger

Remembering artist Kurt Schaffenberger on his birthday (December 15, 1920 - January 24, 2002)...but which of his wonderful covers to choose?

How about a pair...the Lois Lane Annuals, from the Summer of 1962 and 1963, which has Kurt doing his take of famous Lois Lane stories from before his time working on Superman's Girlfriend, Lois Lane!

Though these were the only two annuals featuring Lois Lane, she was in two 80 Page Giants, (#3 and #14), which also had Kurt doing covers!

Iron Man Vs Santa Claus?

To be fair, that really isn't Santa Claus, but a disguised Spymaster that Iron Man is fighting on the cover to Iron Man #254 (March, 1990, cover by Bob Layton)...as Spymaster was directed to fight Iron Man by the Taskmaster.

Still...lumps of coal for the villains for attacking Iron Man and sullying the image of Santa!

Remembering Artist Dan DeCarlo

Remembering Artist Dan Spiegle

Remembering artist Dan Spiegle on his birthday (December 10, 1920 - January 28, 2017) with something epic..

...a 5 issue mini-series he drew that focused on Hollywood Superstars from Epic Comics...

...a detective agency with Jerry Naylor (stunt coordinator fired for calling out unsafe practices), Leo Haney (stand up comedian who isn't really funny) and Melody Blake (the secretary who is an aspiring actress and stuntwoman).
