Few... childhood... memories... shattered... despite fact.. I wasn't alive for these....

The sexual innuendo I can handle. I'm stabbing out my brain for the sheer stupidity and logical paradoxes, though.

ie. Why would young Wayne choose a bat as a theme to fight "undersea crime"?!

As for the Hulk comic . . . since it was from the 90's, I'd bet that it was most likely written by Peter David. And if that's the case, the innuendo was definitely intentional. The good Sir David is quite (in)famous for the intentionally bad jokes that weaves throughout his work. There's one issue of the Hulk that he wrote wherein Hulk's blonde wife Betty started a new job as a telemarketer (or something like that), and the person sitting in the booth next to her was a black-haired woman named Veronica.

well I think a lot of that was the fault of the artist Gary Frank. In thar run I remember seeing all sorts of strange characters like "doomsday" and "death(DC)" showing up. but most of his word (that I've read) doesn't have that kinda stuff. course granted I haven't read that much David, only thing of his I really ever enjoyed was his Aquaman run.

If you want to see him at his best/worst, check out his run on Young Justice. It's almost nothing but silly jokes from front to back. Also, look into Spider-Man 2099, wherein Miguel O'Hara constantly spouts all sorts of one-liners, from the insanely hilarious to the facepalming horribly cheesy. And because it's a damn good read, too.

And then there's his Star Trek novels, which have scenes like Geordie La Forge being teleported by Trelane into Deanna Troi's shower (while she's currently occupying it, of course), and Lwaxana Troi puntkicking Q half-way across the Enterprise.

Young Justice is pretty good. forgot he write that. I liked Waids run on YJ more. but peter David wasn't to bad. I seemingly remember impulse having a plushy version of Ambush bug. I have some Spidey 2099 comics too. Thats been some time ago. I use to love the 2099 stuff til they really lamed it up post the fall of the hammer storyline.

I never knew these things existed. I'd seen some exherpts from the first issues of Superman during a class once, but...good god. It's like a bad soap opera (no offense to Soap).

Spidey 2099 was sweeeeet.

Still have the first one with the shiny red cover...

(gets all comics nostalgic, and goes to get out his rubbermaid tub o' comics)

Lost all of mine, unfortunately. I used to have well over a thousand dollars worth of comics at one point.

I actually managed to hold onto my comics, but the true goldmine in my collection are the comic cards...I have a billion...lots of special foil ones and stuff that I'm sure someone out there would be drooling over, if I whipped 'em out.

(reads that)

Yeah. Shouldn't have used "drooling" and "whipped 'em out" in the same sentence...at least not in this forum.

(waits for the wave of perversion to hit.)

Awesome, McD

Looking at some of those, your ideas are actually quite probable..

I'm more scared of the tonberry than the crocodiles.

Didn't know Srdjan used to work for DC.

Now that I think of it, though, I se a striking resemblance between McDuffies and Millie the Model...

No, wait. That's Marvel.
