The Saturday Comics: More Little Nemo Homages

26 May

May 26, 2012

Some time back I featured Little Nemo in Slumberland by Winsor McCay. Go ahead and click on this link, I’ll wait.

Towards the bottom I showed some modern homages to the classic strip:

Spongebob:

Sandman:

Since then I have come across a few more.

Here is one from Mutts, which is a modern classic and a strip you should check out, which you can by clicking this link.

Next up are two pages from  Superman Secret Files and Origins #1, which was published in 1998. Stuart Immonen did the honors here:

There are more pages but this gives you the flavor. If you don’t know Little Nemo, you are clearly missing out on a strip that casts a long shadow.

The Saturday Comics: Wonder Woman

19 May

May 19, 2012

Wonder Woman is a member of The Trinity, DC’s Big Three. Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman are the characters most revered by other comics characters, as well as the company and fans. But Wonder Woman has never had a consistent characterization and has had multiple titles cancelled due to low sales. So why? Take a look at these covers and tell me what you see.

So am I wrong about Wonder Woman’s appeal? No I am not.
