BEST OF DC #1 - 1979
Curt Swan, Joe Kubert, Kurt Schaffenberger, Neal Adams, Joe Orlando, Dick Giordano, Dick Dillin, Sergio Aragones, Mike Kaluta, Irv Novick and Howard Chaykin
Why is this an AWESOME cover?
Dork Note: BECAUSE not only does it have the "holding a body" or the "cry and cradle" icon cover design, BUT it also has the "sidebar floating heads" bit as well. Combining two of the MAJOR repeated cover layouts in comics!I believe this is the only cover to do it!
DC Spotlight #1: First Appearance of the Watchmen
Dork Note: I found this page on-line; which I thought was a nice back-in-time moment for what was about to happen. The other thing I found interesting is that this artwork has a very Michael Golden quality to it; which makes me think perhaps he inked it.
What Happened to...Gaggy, the Joker's FIRST Sidekick?
Clipped from www.analog-inadigitalworld.com:Recently Gaggy reappeared in Gotham City Sirens #6 - During the fight, we find out that the Joker is not who we thought he was. Instead, he is Gagworth A. Gagsworthy, the Joker’s first sidekick in disguise. Harley gets Gaggy to tell his origin story.
We then get a weirdly touching flashback as the Joker befriends Gaggy, the Haley circus clown. That’s the Famous Flying Grayson’s circus, which is alluded to briefly. The Joker comes backstage one evening, to compliment the smaller clown on his humor. Taking the compliment in stride, Gaggy extends his arm to The Joker to shake hands. He knows full well what might happen and doesn’t care. The Joker is so impressed by this, he doesn’t kill him, but instead offers him a new job as a sidekick. Many crime sprees then occurs. Finally, the Joker goes off the deep end, and is sent to Arkham Asylum instead of prison.
Gagsworth completes his prison sentence, and then trying to bide his time in caring for the Joker’s things in his Mr J’s favorite hideout. By the time The Joker shows up, he has his new play toy in tow. Miss Harley Quinn. Gaggy does not take well to being replaced, hence the whole plot to do away with Harley.
The girls finally show up to save the day, and help Quinn get rid of Gaggy for the time being. However, Quinn has made an enemy!

Public Service Page: Superman helps out the Special Olympics - 1977
Dork Note: The Special Olympics made this into a poster; which I tried for years to find and failed to do so. All I ever succeeded in getting was a much smaller pull-out poster ad.

What Wonder Woman's costume should be for a movie or TV series.
Dork Note: The only thing I would change above would be the bracelets; which should be more like iron shackles then gear.
Green Lantern 1946!
On Mardi Gras 1946, Fred Lipps Jr., 13, donned the costume and was photographed at his aunt’s house on Polymnia Street, near the corner of Dryades, in Central City.
