For today, we've got another installment of comic strip selections from Smash!, a British weekly comic that reprinted--in order--the late 1960s Batman newspaper strip.
Generously sent to me by F.O.A.M. member Phil Rushton, I like posting these (even though the strips themselves are the same as the American ones I posted back in 2007-2008) because of the additional little frills Smash! added to the strips, like the Batman TV show-esque purple prose kicking off the following installment:
More to come, and thanks again Phil!

Thankfully, the book is preserving one of my favorite elements of the show, starting off with a "teaser" team-up starring a different hero than the one who will appear in the main part of the show.
And don't forget! Aquaman makes a return appearance to Brave and the Bold tonight @ 8pm! (We will have a look at the episode on Monday, 2/2)

Wow, looks like Al Plastino was channeling Wally Wood a bit there! This is far superior to anything I ever saw him do in actual comics. Was this Plastino or someone filling in for him?
The Brave and Bold comic looks like a lot of fun. Dig that SA Wonder Woman on the cover!

I love the tv show, and I know I'll love the comic book. Makes me feel like I'm eight years old again, thumbing through the spinner rack at Krogers.
Hmm, Hawkman on the cover...I'm looking forward to that. It also looks like it's got Ray Palmer on the cover, but it's hard to tell. Looks like a decent adventure, but they are still playing Aquaman too dumb. The show seems to be improving though.
Did Aquaman call that whale "Nellybelle"? As in Nellybelle the jeep Pat Bertram used to drive on the Roy Rogers/Dale Evans show? You know, now that I think of it, it makes perfect sense Aquaman would like Roy. King of the Cowboys, King of the Seas. :)
