A fan-favorite for decades and recently revived in a new format, here from 1963 we have the very first appearance of the Nightwing and Flamebird, the Batman and Robin of the bottle city of Kandor.

Although forever associated with DC in the sixties, artist Gil Kane did a handful of stories for Marvel in mid-decade that brought a breath of fresh air to the so-called House of Ideas. Here’s part one one of my all-time favorites, Gil’s Captain America story featuring the first of many “returns” for Bucky Barnes before they finally got one that took.

Not comics at all but fans of great illustrators should hurry over to Golden Age Comic Book Stories and catch a treasure trove of art by Al Hirschfeld, one of the most stylized and yet most mainstream caricaturists of all time!

Finally today, here’s a nice helping of Bucky Bug newspaper strips from the Walt Disney Studios of 1933.
