Let's Give It For The Boy!

Ultra Boy, that is!  UltraBoy8888, to be even more precise! I have neither the time nor the patience to do what he and several more fans have done, with their nostalgia and old comic-book collections: which is scan some (if not all) pages from it and meticulously review each issue as if their lives depended on it! Maybe I should have - but I didn't!  Hence, whenever I search for a reference to a particular book, storyline or issue that I remember, from way back, boy (!) am I glad someone, out there, did review it - and scan and upload some part of it!

Such as this page, excerpted from Adventure Comics circa 1980 -

art by the late, great Don Newton!  

Atlantis... Antarctica... Aquaman and Helga The Nazi! 

What's not to like here, eh?

A bit of s sidetrack here now, but...

(it is one of those cases where ''I would be remiss'' - if I did not!)

For the real-life Helga may have been unearthed as well...

But her name was... Maria!

Yeah, I know, I know - just a passing resemblance there... 

Plus a bit of a stretch to tie up Antarctica, Nazis, Atlantis 

plus the Black Sun and the Vril Society! 

But you must admit: how fascinating...

AND this is how one makes *luminous connections* 

- or didn't you know...

But, in closing...

Thanks, UltraBoy8888 (aka Deejay Dayton) for having made all of these treasures of pop culture so readily available! Your ''Babblings About DC Comics'' over at Wordpress have both a great banner and a great tone to them - it dispenses all you need to know about any given issue and just the right amount of criticism, too!  Some will want to go look for those back issues, now - thanks to you! Imagine that: in this day and age of digital comics - some will want to hunt down old stuff in print!  It boggles the mind, eh? Now, yours is not the only one of the kind (there are so many indeed) but it is clearly the most fun read I have ever come across.  It not only figures that a DJ Dayton would remember Don Newton - and be a genuine fan!  The genuine fandom here cannot be denied; you have got good taste, man!  And, hey, I needed the Helga of Antarctica bit for my very own ''aquamusings'' here, just now, so... Again - muito obrigado! ;-)
