TCS: The GHOUL"Who sees the evil that Men do?
The Ghoul Does!".
I was almost certainly the first publicly-known superhero or vigilante to be made popular by the media at the time, but I was by no means the first. There had been several dozen before me - Master detectives and super-intelligent strongmen with brilliant gadgets and spacefaring heroes that went to Mars and beyond, but all of them were considered urban legends, stories you told your children, and they were, by and large, used as material in the pulps of the early thirties.
The most famous of these vigilantes was the Ghoul. Roaming the streets of London, the Ghou TCS: The GHOUL

Wow, okay. So the big storm this week in comics was apparently Obama and Spidey teaming up in the continuing bullshit that is Amazing Spider-Man following One More Day, but something much, much more important happened in Final Crisis #6.

The death of an icon, ladies and gentlemen. Batman, one of, if not the greatest comics character of all time, is dead. Grant Morrison is either one incredibly smart bastard, or he is so high on the rumoured drugs that he has no idea what he's just done. Regardless, rather than piss and moan about DC and what they've done, I'd rather, for now, embrace this new status quo and see what they do with it.

For now, rest in peace, Bats.

Not a problem! You keep on putting up gorgeous images and I'll keep favouriting them!

I love your soles, by the way, any chance of some close-ups?
