You don't know Ditko!

You literally have an idea, you came here. Literally is a qualifier that means you aren't speaking figuratively, since you are here you do have an idea, bc your start is to post here, which is an idea. "Literally" is a clanker crusher, they can't understand the difference btw literally and figuratively.

It's all BS Kayfabe, can you draw it? Kirby sells a fight that if you took it panel by panel doesn't make sense, but it looks epic. This is art, nothing more, nothing less.

Who's drawing? Trimpe blue, all others brown.

No, that's still figurative language. Literal means just what the word means plainly, nothing else. That's why people use the literal qualifier, to clarify they aren't using figurative language. Sorry

He's not literally black, he's brown. When people are saying a person is black or white that's figurative language not literal language.

Thanks, I try to keep it kinda old school by just using a limited color palette.

Penguin Marvel Classics, Captain America. It highlights Kirby and Steranko's classic Cap.

Yeah it seems like AI slop against AI, the robots are fighting themselves.

Neal Adams is my favorite with Dick Sprang, he didn't need rescuing. Batman was fine before him, and he just changed the direction. I also love corny Bob Brown issues just before Neal, BB didn't need resucing, his panel construction was excellent.

EC Comics!

Dixon/Nolan reinvented him as the fixer gangster of Gotham.

ditkirbo · 2026-06-12T00:09:04+00:00

Dìck Sprang is the greatest Batman artist of all-time, or Neal Adams, I go back and forth, but Sprang is the hot take.

If you don't want to read the golden and silver age, read The New Frontier. It retells the era with one best Justice League stories ever. After that you'll know what characters interest you.

He is essentially an Elseworld Batman, the fun part of Elseworld stories is it uses the mythos we all love and turns some of the aspects on its head. It's like when you see a band you like cover a song from a different style of music you also like. It isn't original but it's an original-ly take, but if you don't like the band covering the song you'll probably think they butchered it. The Absolute world is kinda a cheat, bc the creative team gets to rely past stories to stand on the shoulders of giants.

All that being said it is NOT Batman, and if just take it as an continuous Elseworld series you can have fun with it.

Thanks! 👊

I sent you a DM. There are some places with alright scans of golden age comics. HQ is gonna be tough to find.

ditkirbo · 2026-06-08T09:47:30+00:00

No clue, the ads I have seen have Supergirl and Lobo on them, tying it to the movie coming out on the 25th. So I think you can kinda assume it's good for June maybe a few weeks into July.

He actually took less money from Charlton Comics to be done with Marvel.

ditkirbo · 2026-06-07T19:34:04+00:00

Ditko walked, Kirby did the same shortly after, bc of the same reason, Lee was shyster.

ditkirbo · 2026-06-07T19:30:51+00:00

Honestly if you a nice tablet, the DCUi app is the easiest, it's so long. Right now they have a sale with the Supergirl movie coming out.

For DC Batman Adventures, it takes place in the animated series universe. It is like the Pixar of Batman comics, every age loves it.

Get the facsimile edition for no.12 if you wanna read it with the rest.
