  1. Assuming that's it, it's another song I heard countless times without ever listening to the lyrics. George
  2. It's kind of funny. Probably because I was a big JLA fan, I liked Sekowsky's work. It's funny how much impact an inker can have. With Bernard Sachs or Sid Greene, it was rather pleasant. When George Roussos started inking Sekowski, it was AWFUL. There were two or three JLA issues like that before Dick Dillin took over the penciling. I can't remember who did the inking on Sekowsky's GL and WW runs. But I digress. WW is up. George
  3. Actually, that quote was from International Man of Mystery, but go ahead. George
  4. Independence Day Brent Spiner The Great Outdoors George
  5. Gunsmoke is correct. A lot of interesting info about James Arness. George
  6. It's a Wonderful Life "Shall we shag now, or shall we shag later?" George
  7. I'll give it to you for Aparo (He also did Aquaman, the Teen Titans, and the Spectre.) Ross Andru was probably best remembered for his work on Wonder Woman in the 60's and early 70's. Joe Kubert did Hawkman and Sgt. Rock. Ramona Fradon did Aquaman. She just died recently. Maybe the last of the "old guard." Nick Cardy did the Teen Titans. Mike Sekowsky was the Justice League artist from the late 50's to the early 70's. He also had a run on Green Lantern and was the artist on the horrendous "karate chick" Wonder Woman of the mid 70's. You're up! George
  8. I edited a clue just for you, WW! I suppose if it were translated more accurately, it would have been "El Humo del Revólver." George
  9. Getting closer. The star received his draft notice in 1943, and trained at Camp Wheeler, Georgia, before shipping out for North Africa. He was assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division in time for the invasion of Anzio. Ten days after the invasion, he was severely wounded in the leg and foot by machine gun fire. He lost part of his foot, and received a medical discharge from the Army. When shooting movies or television shows, any scenes that required extensive walking would be shot early in the morning, before his feet and knees started giving out. For his service, he received: a Bronze Star, Purple Heart, European-African-Middle Eastern Campaign Medal with three bronze campaign stars, the World War II Victory Medal, and the Combat Infantryman Badge. The star was the only actor to appear in every episode. One other actor missed only thirty episodes, six while he was recovering from a heart attack. The show was slated to be cancelled in 1967 due to low ratings, but CBS President William Paley, who was a big fan, reversed the decision. He moved the show from Saturdays to Mondays (cancelling Gilligan's Island in the process), placing it back in the Nielsen's Top Ten. Though the show went many seasons, the star only kissed a woman once during its run. In Spanish-speaking countries, the series is known as La Ley del Revólver. I suppose if it were translated more accurately, it would have been "El Humo del Revólver." The star was reluctant to take the role, fearing it would hurt his movie career. His good friend John Wayne convinced him to take the part. Wayne also gave the intro to the first episode. George
  10. I don't think Kubert ever did Batman. He did do a different Justice Leaguer and a major character in a different genre. Correct on Infantino, Swan, and Kane. (I would have accepted The Atom for Kane, as well.) I'll add a couple more artists. You still need one more to win. Ross Andru Jim Aparo George
  11. Still not getting it. The star received his draft notice in 1943, and trained at Camp Wheeler, Georgia, before shipping out for North Africa.

  12. Anything funny got cut out of the Director's Cut (sadly). But, yes, theatrical version of Justice League. George
  13. I was thinking only DC. I didn't read nearly enough Marvel back in the day. Here's a hint: with one exception, they all had to do with the Justice League. George
  14. Listen to "Sweet Little Sixteen," and then listen to "Surfin' USA." FREE POST George
  15. I'm not sure of all your ages, but I think you're all old enough to answer this, I suppose the question would rather be if you're enough of an old DC Comics fan. I find the art in today's comics good but indistinguishable, one artist from the next. When I was a kid, I could recognize most artists' work. Name the main character (or group) drawn by each of these artists. Four needed to win. A couple of them might be known for more than one character, I will accept any. Carmine Infantino Curt Swan Joe Kubert Gil Kane Mike Sekowsky Nick Cardy Ramona Fradon George
  16. Clue "Honestly... I think we're gonna be dead way before that. And you know what? I don't mind. It's an honorable end. But we've gotta shut Steppenwolf down. Superman's a no-show. You've got no powers, no offense. This guy might be working for the enemy. We don't know. You're tripping over your feet, and mine... Whuf, you're gorgeous, and fierce... and strong." George
