Post of the Uncanny

Again With the Comics has scans from the Alan-Moore-penned 1963 Book Three: Tales of the Uncanny, an homage to both Marvel Comics' Tales of Suspense and Edwin A. Abbott's Flatland. [via BB]


MEANWHILE...
Todd Klein does in-depth comic book logo studies, tracing the evolutions of superheroes' insignias, like that of Batman.

BACK AT THE VILLAIN'S LAIR...
xkcd, the "webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language" — known around my office for its nerdy take on sandwich-making — is the source of another oldie-but-goodie, people playing chess on roller coasters. Pick your favorite wooden monster from the Roller Coaster DataBase [sic] and recreate the comic for yourself!

WILL OUR HERO SURVIVE...
Further evidence that there is a home on the Internet for everything: Nad Shot, a blog that catalogs instances of groin-targeted attacks in comics, such as this reminder that Wolverine's healing factor applies to all of Wolverine.

ACROSS TOWN...
See Mike Draw has some funny, but disturbing, comics.


FINALLY...
Put on your Fantastic Forefathers t-shirt and check out Robot Chicken's spoof of 300, 1776.
