Rappy Rirthday, Rabio! “Sunday in the Park With Scooby!”

Paul Kupperberg on January 13th, 2020

I see that today is the birthday of one of my favorite Scooby Doo artists, Fabio Laguna. And this is probably my favorite of the Scooby stories I wrote, illustrated by Fabio! It’s one of the few stories I snuck into the mix that broke from the standard Scooby story model, focusing on just a single member of the gang (Shaggy, in this instance) instead of involving them all in pursuit of a supposedly supernatural menace.… Read the rest

More GL Corps: Carmine in Space!

Paul Kupperberg on January 12th, 2020

I love Carmine Infantino.

Well, I love his art, anyway. To be honest, in person, he could be kind of crotchety and snarly. But as a young, early-1960s comic book reader, Carmine was the first artist whose style I came to recognize and could instantly identify from his work on Flash and Adam Strange.… Read the rest

Earth’s 1st…or 2nd or 3rd, Maybe 4th Green Lantern

Paul Kupperberg on January 11th, 2020

Who was Earth’s first Green Lantern? I think there have probably been about half a dozen stories about characters claiming that honor. Here’s mine, a (Pre-Crisis) tale of the Old West from Green Lantern #149 (February 1982), with art by the great Don Newton, inked by his (to my mind) best inker (other than Don himself), Dan Adkins.… Read the rest

The Atom Phones Home

Paul Kupperberg on December 29th, 2019

Don’t ask me what I was thinking. All I remember is, I had recently read a historical factoid that for reasons beyond reason fascinated me, and when editor Paul Levitz asked me for an Atom ten-pager for 1977’s one-shot DC 5-Star Super-Hero Spectacular (DC Special Series #1) Dollar Comic, also featuring Batman, Flash, Green Arrow, and Aquaman, I saw the chance to send the Mighty Mite back in time via Professor Hyatt’s Time Pool and confront the situation.… Read the rest

Super-Spy…1870 Style!

Paul Kupperberg on December 24th, 2019

First of all: Jerry Grandenetti. An artist so good, Roy Lichtenstein pirated two of his illustrations for his fine art paintings (Jet Pilot, based on the cover of All-American Men of War #89, and As I Opened Fire, a triptych based on panels from “Wingmate of Doom” from #90).… Read the rest
