Sue Storm by Adam Hughes

When I’m surfing online I’m always on the lookout for blog fodder.  And when I find something interesting I toss it in one of a bunch of folders on my desktop.

Recently when I was cleaning out the Comics/Pinups folder, I noticed a bunch of images of Sue Storm (AKA the Invisible Woman), so I thought that this month, once a week, I’d post a different artist’s rendition of (apparently) one of my favorite comics characters.

Today is Adam Hughes:

What I love about this is how painterly it is. And for as still as the subject is, you can see and feel the sure-handedness and speed of its creation.

Tune in next Thursday for Bruce Timm’s Sue Storm!

Gather round, kids, it’s story time!

Today is the Batman story, "Christmas Carol Caper" – 

Batman receives an ominous singing telegram on Christmas Eve but dismisses it as the work of a crank.  He and Robin go off to a Christmas party at the South Side Mission downtown, but soon learn the telegram was no prank when attempts on his life are made by Rudolph the Red Nose Hitman, and then Maxie the Minstrel and Sammy the South Side Santa.

OK, everyone sitting pretzel style? Hands folded? Let’s listen!
