Here’s a fun idea. SILVER AGE COMICS has begun a couple of series that take detailed looks at relatively minor supporting characters in sixties comics series. The latest is the first installment of THE MAVIS TRENT CHRONICLES, investigating the appearances of Hawkgirl’s rival in the early HAWKMAN stories of the Silver Age.

Over at HOORAY FOR WALLY WOOD, booksteve (in the interest of full disclosure, that’s ME!) has a long talk with OBNOXIO THE CLOWN creator Alan Kupperberg about his time working with Wally Wood in the seventies writing and sometimes drawing CANNON and SALLY FORTH.

One of the more ludicrous continuity impants in comics history is examined at THE BRONZE AGE OF BLOGS today-the time Clark Kent realized that his glasses with their alien lenses slightly hypnotize everyone he meets (and apparently everyone who watches him on the WGBS News) into thinking he doesn’t look anything like Superman!
