Awful Superhero Halloween Costumes I’d Love To See – Underwater Wonder Woman

What with all of the superhero flicks this past summer, there’s no shortage of comic book costumes for Halloween this year. But as omnipresent as they are, there’s still a few I’d like to see. I mean, heck if they made actual costumes from those DC Anime statuettes last year, maybe I got a chance!

So every Thursday this month I’m going to be suggesting some less inspired costumes of years past that I’d LOVE to see at my door asking for candy.

First up, Underwater Wonder Woman from the CBS series episode “The Bermuda Triangle Crisis”:

Even all covered up, WW’s still got it.

Now, technically, unlike upcoming costumes, this is an actual real-life costume, but I want to see this mass-produced and for sale at my local Target!

Adventure Hero Spider-Man

While checking my Flickr stats recently I noticed that this old set (2006!) of my weird Spider-man Adventure Hero toy pics had recently gotten insane amounts of views. (Thanks, io9!)

So in case you missed them five years ago, or again just a few days ago, you really owe it to yourself to see Spider-Man dressing up as an archer, a fisherman, and a bug catcher.

Enjoy!

College Admission Cartoons

It’s been a good while since I was looking at colleges (and it’s another 10 years or so before I have to worry about the kids’), but I’d have loved to have had College Admission by Robin Mamlet & Christine VanDeVelde to help me.

It’s chock full of really good advice, it’s fun to read, and did I mention the cartoons?

Yep, eight cartoons from yours truly are peppered throughout.

So go grab a copy and enjoy!
