We have a great copy of Batman #308 available now.   Written by Len Wein with art by the Glynis Oliver.

The story revolves around Batman’s nemesis, Mr Freeze in a story called There’ll be a Cold Time in the Old Town Tonight.  Mr Freeze is up to his usual crap and Batman answers the Bat signal because a financier has been frozen.   Meanwhile, Mr Freeze is also working on cryogenics with another rich dude of Gotham but the freezing does not work properly and he ends up a frozen brained zombie.  It is a good read and to be honest, I would love it if they would re-do Mr Freeze in the movies.  Arnold was awful and this could be done so much better now and this book would be a great place to start.

If you are not familiar with Millie, she was a comic aimed at young women as Marvel tried to capture some of the female market.  She evolves as gender roles evolved in the 1950s and 1960s so it is a very interesting read from a historical perspective as the earlier issues differ greatly from the issues in the 1960s.  And this issue is significant because it features the Beatles.

ORIGIN STORY OF THE FLASH

The Flash is one of DC Comics’ most iconic superheroes and he has had several iterations and origin stories throughout the years. The original Flash is Barry Allen.

His inspiration is his comic book hero, Jay Garrick, the original Flash from the 1940s. Barry decides to use his newfound abilities to protect Central City as the Flash.

Barry Allen, as the Flash, becomes a founding member of the Justice League of America and fights crime alongside other iconic superheroes. His super-speed helps him to apprehend criminals, solve cases, and prevent disasters.

Girl Confessions #22 was published by Atlas Comics (which later became Marvel Comics) in 1953.   It features romance comics and a bit of mid-century “good-girl” scandal stories.

The Girl Confessions series ran from 1952 to 1954 and finished when the Comic Code came into effect so this is considered to be your “pre-code” romance or good-girl although by today’s standard, it will not seem that shocking.    These are just a nice snippet of what life was like in the 1950s and what defined scandalous.

All of the series are self-contained so you do not need to have read the previous books to know what is going on.  The art is unique as the characters are drawn much differently in both this as well as the pre-code horror.  They are drawn to give them a realistic appearance.

Batman #131 was published by DC Comics in 1960.  It features the Batwoman cover and Batman and Robin as a team.    Written by Bill Finger with artwork from Ira Schnapp and Sheldon Moldoff.

It has several stories including one with Bat-Hound where he is struck and given amesia.  I certainly wouldn’t want my dogs having amnesia but Bat-Hounds seems to handle it just fine as he goes on a series of adventures saving people and at the end of the story, has an operation to cure the amnesia so he is back to good old Bat-Hound.

The issue is quite spendy in higher grades so please examine all the pics as this is a low grade book with a good portion of the cover missing but it is a good hole filler for anyone who is on a budget and looking to collect some of the keys.

ORIGIN STORY OF ACE THE BAT-HOUND

The Bat-Hound, also known as Ace the Bat-Hound, is a fictional canine character in the DC Comics universe. His origin story varies slightly depending on the continuity, but the general concept remains the same.

In most versions, Ace was introduced as a loyal and crime-fighting companion to Batman and Robin. His first appearance was in “Batman” issue #92 in June 1955. The story, titled “Ace, the Bat-Hound,” was written by Bill Finger and illustrated by Sheldon Moldoff.

The origin of Ace typically involves a stray dog who is taken in by Batman and Robin. In some versions, Batman rescues Ace from a gang of criminals or saves him from an accident, while in others, the dog simply wanders into the Batcave on his own.

Once Ace becomes a member of the Batman family, he undergoes training to become a crime-fighting partner. Batman and Robin equip Ace with a utility collar that includes a radio receiver for receiving commands, a Bat-symbol-emblazoned collar, and other gadgets to aid in his crime-fighting endeavors.

Ace often assists Batman and Robin in their investigations, using his keen senses and loyalty to track down criminals. He has been portrayed as an intelligent and capable dog, possessing skills such as tracking scents, detecting hidden objects, and even helping in combat situations.

AHSOKA TANO’S Back Story — Star Wars The Clone Wars Shipyards of Doom Main Character, Ahsoka

Ahsoka Tano is a fictional character in the Star Wars universe. She was created by George Lucas and was first introduced in the animated film “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” (2008). Ahsoka quickly became a central character in the subsequent “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” animated television series, as well as appearing in other Star Wars media.

Ahsoka Tano is a Togruta, a species characterized by their head-tails, also known as “montrals” and “lekku.” She was discovered by Jedi Master Plo Koon on her homeworld of Shili and was eventually taken to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant to train as a Jedi.

As a young Jedi Padawan, Ahsoka became the apprentice of Anakin Skywalker, who was then known as Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker. Under Anakin’s guidance, Ahsoka developed her skills as a Jedi and quickly became a capable and resourceful warrior. She was known for her fierce determination, agility, and unconventional methods.

During the Clone Wars, Ahsoka became a prominent figure and was involved in numerous missions alongside Anakin Skywalker and other Jedi. She played a crucial role in many battles and often displayed great bravery and tactical acumen.

However, Ahsoka’s time as a Jedi Padawan was not without its challenges. She faced various trials, both personal and professional. In the fifth season of “Star Wars: The Clone Wars,” Ahsoka was falsely accused of a crime and put on trial by the Jedi Order. Despite her innocence, she chose to leave the Jedi Order, feeling betrayed by the Council’s lack of trust in her.

After leaving the Jedi Order, Ahsoka embarked on a journey of self-discovery and played a vital role in the emerging Rebel Alliance. She became a key ally to the Ghost crew in the animated series “Star Wars Rebels” and fought against the oppressive Galactic Empire. Ahsoka’s experiences continued to shape her character, and she became a wise and skilled warrior, operating independently and often working in the shadows.

Ahsoka Tano’s story extends beyond the animated series and into other Star Wars media. She made her live-action debut in “The Mandalorian” TV series, portrayed by actress Rosario Dawson. Her appearance in “The Mandalorian” takes place years after the fall of the Empire, and it explores her search for the missing Jedi, Ezra Bridger.

Superboy #70 was published by DC in 1958 and features Superboy getting swindled into buying a home where he then learns that the home is a nightmare so he turns the table on the swindler.  Seems a bit vindictive for a “hero” but still, everyone loves to see a swindler get what is coming to them.

The other story in the book is Superboy explaining that in his early days, he had issues with his X-Ray vision melting his glasses.  He solved that problem by making special glasses from the glass of a spaceship so they will no longer melt from the X-Ray.    I actually really like this story because it explains a superhero problem but also removes the paradox of “well why don’t his glasses melt” and you know there are plenty of paradoxical things in comics.

Back Story of Superboy

Superboy is the youthful incarnation of Superman, also known as Clark Kent, before he fully takes on the role of the Man of Steel. The backstory of Superboy varies depending on the era and the version of the character being depicted, but there are some consistent elements.

In most versions, Superboy’s origin story begins on the planet Krypton, where his father Jor-El, a brilliant scientist, discovers that their world is doomed to be destroyed. In a desperate attempt to save his son, Jor-El sends baby Kal-El to Earth in a small spacecraft. Kal-El crash-lands in Smallville, Kansas, where he is found and adopted by Jonathan and Martha Kent, who name him Clark Kent.

Growing up in Smallville, Clark discovers that he possesses incredible powers due to Earth’s yellow sun and lower gravity. These powers include superhuman strength, invulnerability, flight, super speed, heat vision, and more. Clark learns to control and use his powers under the guidance of his adoptive parents, who teach him values of truth, justice, and compassion.

As Superboy, Clark uses his powers to protect Smallville and eventually the world from various threats, both mundane and extraordinary. He becomes a local hero, often working in secret to maintain his dual identity as Clark Kent, a normal teenager.
