Supergirl's Alternate Santa Costume

Nick Powell was actually more creative with Sugergirl's alternate Santa costume. Her top, mini-skirt and cape actually matches the hat complete with the white fur trim. I love the white snake in diamond symbol (that's the S shield for those not in the know). I actually like this one better of the two.

Blog Alert: Booksteve's Library

Booksteve's Library is another blog that I have been following for a while now. He covers a wide range of topics from books and comics to movies and tv. His recent post is in memory of Bettie Page so it seems appropriate that I write about his blog today.

Bettie Page Passes On

Fetish model and pin-up queen of the 1950s, Bettie Page aka Betty Page, passed away on Thursday, December 11, 2008 at the age of 85. She was the girlfriend of Cliff Secord aka The Rocketeer in the comic book created by Dave Stevens (he later would meet and help her). In 1991, Betty Page In 3-D was published by the 3-D Zone. Dark Horse published the following two one shots: Bettie Page Comics (1996) and Bettie Page Comics Spicy Adventure (1997). They pubished a three-issue mini-series in 2000 titled Queen of the Nile that featured her (the issues were collected in a trade paperback with the same name).

Women Wrestling Wednesday: Catwoman vs Black Cat

Seems only fitting to have the cat women from DC Comics and Marvel Comics duking it out since I posted the Black Cat Christmas art yesterday. The following video featuring Catwoman vs Black Cat was made with Smackdown vs Raw 2008 and pcsx2 0.9.5 and a hacked GSdx graphics plugin.

Goodnight Forrest J Ackerman

Forrest J Ackerman, founding editor of Famous Monsters of Filmland and the man who termed sci fi, passed away on Thursday, December 4, 2008 from heart failure according to Yahoo News, Mark Evenier and Jon's Random Acts of Goodness. I first read the news at the Jon's blog before reading Mark's blog. I still have most of my issues of Famous Monsters of Filmland stashed away and I have fond memories of them. So I would just like to thank Forrest J Ackerman for everything he did.

Blog Alert: The Aquaman Shrine

I really should have started this series of posts writing about The Aquaman Shrine since Rob writes about one of the most underrated superheroes at DC Comics. You will find everything dealing with the King of the Seven Seas from ads to Pogs. The current post spotlights two Aquaman-related covers redone by Fred Hembeck.
