Published by Dynamite Entertainment Green Hornet 66 Meets The Spirit Issue 1A, 1E and 1G are essentially the same cover. 1E is the black and white version. 1G is the virgin (picture only, no branding, no credits, no barcode) version Green Hornet 66 Meets The Spirit Issue 1B, 1D, 1F are essentially the same cover. 1D is the black and white version. 1G is the virgin version. Green Hornet 66 Meets The Spirit Issue 1C is the only variant in that mini- series with no sketch or virgin version Green Hornet 66 Meets The Spirit Issues 2B, 3B, 4B and 5B whilst classified as variants are simply the black and white versions of Issues 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A Green Hornet 66 Meets The Spirit collection does not include any of the black and white or virgin covers as separate variants. At the beginning of the collection is cover 1B and in the “alternate” cover gallery is just 1A and 1C I have not included any collections here that reprint any of the comics included in the Batman 66 Variant Month list as the reason for their inclusion is purely their covers and not their story content. As such I have not included any notes on their regular covers either. Interestingly all of the Batman 66 Variant Month covers are included across the Variant cover galleries of the Batman 66 Volume 2 and Batman 66 Volume 3 collections (detailed in Folder One - Omnibus) ___________________________________________________________________________ To determine whether an item is a variant here's a handy guide Last 5 numbers on the barcode determine issue of run, cover and printing e.g. 00111 = Issue 1, Cover 1, Printing 1 so the variant would be 00121 = Issue 1, Cover 2, Printing 1.

  • The Reflection of Sancho Panza in the Comic Book Sidekick De Don
    UNIVERSIDAD DE OVIEDO FACULTAD DE FILOSOFÍA Y LETRAS MEMORIA DE LICENCIATURA From Don Quixote to The Tick: The Reflection of Sancho Panza in the Comic Book Sidekick ____________ De Don Quijote a The Tick: El Reflejo de Sancho Panza en el sidekick del Cómic Autor: José Manuel Annacondia López Directora: Dra. María José Álvarez Faedo VºBº: Oviedo, 2012 To comic book creators of yesterday, today and tomorrow. The comics medium is a very specialized area of the Arts, home to many rare and talented blooms and flowering imaginations and it breaks my heart to see so many of our best and brightest bowing down to the same market pressures which drive lowest-common-denominator blockbuster movies and television cop shows. Let's see if we can call time on this trend by demanding and creating big, wild comics which stretch our imaginations. Let's make living breathing, sprawling adventures filled with mind-blowing images of things unseen on Earth. Let's make artefacts that are not faux-games or movies but something other, something so rare and strange it might as well be a window into another universe because that's what it is.

  • Superhero Origins As a Sentence Punctuation Exercise
    Superhero Origins as a Sentence Punctuation Exercise The Definition of a Comic Book Superhero A comic book super hero is a costumed fictional character having superhuman/extraordinary skills and has great concern for right over wrong. He or she lives in the present and acts to benefit all mankind over the forces of evil. Some examples of comic book superheroes include: Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Wonder Woman, and Plastic Man. Each has a characteristic costume which distinguishes them from everyday citizens. Likewise, all consistently exercise superhuman abilities for the safety and protection of society against the forces of evil. They ply their gifts in the present-contemporary environment in which they exist. The Sentence Punctuation Assignment From earliest childhood to old age, the comics have influenced reading. Whether the Sunday comic strips or editions of Disney’s works, comic book art and narratives have been a reading catalyst. Indeed, they have played a huge role in entertaining people of all ages. However, their vocabulary, sentence structure, and overall appropriateness as a reading resource is often in doubt. Though at times too “graphic” for youth or too “childish” for adults, their use as an educational resource has merit. Such is the case with the following exercise. Superheroes as a sentence punctuation learning toll. Among the most popular of comic book heroes is Superman. His origin and super-human feats have thrilled comic book readers, theater goers, and television watchers for decades. However, many other comic book superheroes exist. Select one from those superhero origin accounts which follow and compose a four paragraph superhero origin one page double-spaced narative of your selection.

  • How to Be a Hero: a Rhetorical Analysis of Superman's First Appearance In
    HOW TO BE A HERO: A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF SUPERMAN’S FIRST APPEARANCE IN ACTION COMICS By Sevan Michael Paris Approved: Lauren Ingraham Susan North Professor of Rhetoric and Composition Assistant Professor of Rhetoric and (Director of Thesis) Composition (Committee Member) Bonnie Warren-Kring Associate Professor of Education (Committee Member) Herb Burhenn A. Jerald Ainsworth Dean of the College of Arts and Dean of the Graduate School Sciences i HOW TO BE A HERO: A RHETORICAL ANALYSIS OF SUPERMAN’S FIRST APPEARANCE IN ACTION COMICS By Sevan Michael Paris A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in Rhetoric and Writing University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Chattanooga, Tennessee ii ABSTRACT Through a combination of rhetorical heightening, idiom, and structure, Superman creators Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster influenced their young American audience with the first appearance of Superman in 1938’s Action Comics no. 1. Superman’s lack of distinguishing characteristics, dual identity, and embodiment of American culture allowed the character to become a vehicle for Siegel and Shuster, persuading children to be a helper of those in need and champion of the oppressed. Varying panel size and choosing what to show from what not to show allowed Siegel and Shuster to heighten specific moments within Superman’s story. Through metaphor and symbolic modeling, children recognized the impact of helping others in their lives both as a child and later as an adult. The tools that Siegel and Shuster had available to them in this particular medium—such as being able to simultaneously heighten several different moments within the narrative in one panel—make it a unique form of rhetorical heightening in fiction.

Still suffering the aftershocks of the Great Depression despite Franklin D. Roosevelt’s progressive New Deal nos- trums—unemployment stood at 17% for 1939—Americans eyed the expanding wars in Europe and Asia nervously. Some tried to dismiss Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini as comic opera buffoons, decrying the hostilities as a “phony war” because not much had happened since the blitzkrieg dismemberment of Poland the previous September. These naysayers did not see it for what it was: the calm before the storm. Before the first year of the new decade was out, Nazi Germany seized Norway, Denmark, Belgium, the Nether- lands, and ultimately France, while attempting to bomb the United Kingdom into subjection. The British held out defiantly, and Hitler reluctantly abandoned his plans to invade England. That small victory brought no cheer to the conquered nations, where Der Führer’s relentless oppres- sion of Jews and other scapegoated minorities was in full force. Il Duce, too, continued his aggression, as Fascist Italy invaded Egypt and Greece.

  • The Green Hornet (Dell, 1953) CHAPTER FOUR the GREEN HORNET: 1 HERO OR VILLAIN?
    68 (opposite page) Detail from Four Color #496 The Green Hornet (Dell, 1953) CHAPTER FOUR THE GREEN HORNET: 1 HERO OR VILLAIN? “He hunts the biggest of all game… public enemies who try to destroy our America!” ith these words, rst broadcast over Detroit, Michigan’s radio station WXYZ on January 31, 1936, America was introduced to its newest masked crimeghter… the Green Hornet! CreatedW by Fran Striker, better known as the creator of the Lone Ranger, the Hornet was an overnight success. Although George W. Trendle is oen considered the “creator” of the Hornet, recent research has made it clear that he was the money-man behind WXYZ, not a creative force. e concept of the show was a simple one: a masked vigilante, thought to be a criminal by law-enforcement ocials, wages a one-man war against Green Hornet Comics #1 crime and corruption. With his Filipino valet, Kato, and his souped-up car, (Harvey, 1940) the Black Beauty, the Green Hornet was in reality crusading newspaper publisher Britt Reid, who fought criminals, racketeers, and all those who would oppose the law (An interesting aside – e Green Hornet and the Lone Ranger share more than their common “father,” Fran Striker: John “e Lone Ranger” Reid, is Britt “e Green Hornet” Reid’s great-uncle). e popular radio show, which ran until 1952, initially featured the vocal talents of Al Hodge, who retained the role until 1943, and later went on to even greater fame as television’s Captain Video. Donovan Faust donned the verdant mask for the 1943 season, before handing the proverbial reins over to Robert Hall.
