Last week, as a part of the annual BANNED BOOKS WEEK celebrations, the site STWALLSKULL set out on a mission to find online as many as possible of the comic books used by Dr. Frederic Wertham in his notorious (to comics fans) book SEDUCTION OF THE INNOCENT. A large number were actually available for download from various sources.

Ever wonder how Marvel’s NICK FURY, AGENT OF S.H.I.E.L.D manages to stay so young even though current continuity still has him teaming with Captain America way back in WWII? Jim Starlin and Howie Chaykin attempted to answer that question in this one-off (and perhaps now non-canonical) 1976 story reprinted today by Pete Doree.

SILVER AGE COMICS steps forward in time a bit to examine the increasingly complex relationship between Batman and Commissioner Gordon as the comics moved into the Bronze Age. A quest is started in search of the first time the Caped Crusader ditched out on the Commish in mid-sentence.

Three mildly Halloween-themed LITTLE LULU stories by the great John Stanley are up at STANLEY STORIES with the “Part 1″ of the title promising more to come. If you’re still on eof those who think that Lulu was just for kids, go there now and read. Stanley’s work on the strip was great fun for any age!
