More Fun Comics 73

derryderrydown was kind enough to send me the first appearence of Green Arrow and Speedy.

Now, I'm generally only interested in the post-1969 Ollie, since he didn't have a personality in his first 28 years of existance. However, I'm amused to discover that the inherent phalicism that is Green Arrow has, apparently, *decreased* over the years.



Also, "Contact!"? Who do they think they are, TNT and Danny the Dyna-Mite?

In other news from times (not as far) past, according to Spectre v1 #3, Wildcat was operating in a place called Knickerbocker City. Clearly a DC locale we should see more of...

My. I suppose this explains why Ollie is such a slut. When he was no longer able to express himself quite as much with the phallic symbols, he was forced to do it the old-fashioned way.

Heh. Now he has money again, he should get himself some more rediculously phallic and expensive equipment! And then he can give your explanation to Dinah!

I love his little 'Ta-daa!!!' position when he lands, having just smashed his way through the window yet not having a scratch on him.

"First virgin window of the day! Go me!"

Unofficial invulnerability is a wonderful thing.

Me, I want to know in what year, in what city, in what universe is either a puke-lime-green suit jacket or an orange-with-black-chalk-stripes sports coat considered remotely acceptable business attire?

Um. 1941, Star City, Earth-2, apparently.

Though the coloring's pretty wonky on this--earlier Ollie was wearing a white shirt, black tie, and white sweater vest, IIRC...

...eventually there was an Arrowcar, that was a car, AND an Arrowplane, that was a plane. But maybe back then Ollie could only afford the one?

I think of it as an old-fashioned vision of the future thing, when big cars that are also maybe planes were the Wave of the Future. Or so I'm told.

(*waves at Te. and LC for that matter*)

The icon...such wonderfulness. Such usefulness. Is it possible that you might grant me the privilege of using it myself?

I'd rather you didn't; I'm rather overly-invested in my icons, especially the ones I made myself. But thank you for admiring it! :)
