Christmas 2008 DVD Loot

For Christmas, I received the following DVDs: The Dark Knight, The Best of Howdy Doody, The Incredible Hulk and Iron Man. For those who do not know of Howdy Doody, he was freckle-faced boy marionette that hosted a children's television program along with the very human, Buffalo Bob Smith, from 1947 until 1960 in the United States. I was born five years too late to enjoy the show but I have always enjoyed vintage tv series. My first exposure to him was on the episode of Happy Days when Ritchie entered a Howdy Doody lookalike contest so he can get a photo of Clarabell the Clown without his makeup. I already have a DVD that has a few episodes of Howdy Doody on another DVD.

Eartha Kitt Passes On

Eartha Kitt, who replaced Julie Newmar on tv's Batman, died December 25, 2008 at the age of 81 from colon cancer. She is also known for her saucy song, Santa Baby. For me, Eartha Kitt was the best Catwoman.

Elvira's Haunted Holidays

I know I posted Elvira's House of Mystery Special #1 from DC Comics as 2008 Halloween Countdown Day 16 but I am posting the comic book again with links to the larger pictures this time as a special Christmas present from Moongem Comics.

DC Comics Christmas Card By The Kotzebue Bros.

The following DC Comics Christmas card by the Kotzebue Bros. features several members of the Justice League of America along with Robin and Supergirl. Notice that Aquaman is actually having fun while Batman is miffed about getting hit with a snowball. Yes, you can click on the image below for a larger version.

Justice League Of America Celebrating Christmas

An actual plate featuring the Justice League of America celebrating Christmas as drawn by Alex Ross. I like how Batman is peeking in the window while the Martian Manhunter is clinking glasses with Red Tornado. Aquaman seems either bored or standoffish.

The Joker And Harley Quinn Bag Batman For Christmas

The following is artwork by Alex Ross for a Christmas plate from 2005. The Joker makes a wicked Santa with Harley Quinn as his naughty elf. Batman is in the bag and getting a kiss on the cheek from Harley.

First Lady of Star Trek Passes On

Majel Barrett-Roddenberry, the First Lady of Star Trek, passed away on December 18, 2008 after battling leukemia. She was 76 and I will always remember her as Nurse Chapel and the voice of the Enterprise computer.

Captain Marvel Christmas Card

I really like this Christmas card featuring Captain Marvel as drawn by Jeff Smith in 2003. Check out the boots of Atom, Aquaman, Batman, Superman and Red Tornado hanging above the fireplace. The Sandman clock is pretty cool too.

Women Wrestling Wednesday Webcomic Alert: Rival Angels

Rival Angels follows Sabrina "Ultragirl" Mancini and her three roommates as they become worthy women wrestlers of the world. The story is more behind the scenes so you will get an insight on their personal journey outside the square ring. The web comic is drawn and written by Alan Evans aka albone. A new strip is added every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The artwork is clean and the characters are very interesting. I still have a lot of the web comic to catch up on but I enjoyed what I have read so far. So if you enjoy women wrestling, be sure to check out Rival Angels.
