okay so in continuing our investigation re: what the fuck was happening with the Riddler in the 80s and 90s, I tracked down the 1989 issue of Dennis O'Neill's The Question helpfully mentioned @clay-cuttlefish here.

it supports a lot of what's already been said about the Riddler at the time, namely that he was pretty solidly a joke. the story opens with Eddie being released from Arkham on a technicality by a Gordon who doesn't consider him dangerous enough to keep him under surveillance, and actively encourages him to change his name back to Edward Nashton and get a normal job. he specifically tells Eddie to go back to being a teacher; no idea if that was O'Neill's invention or had been established at some point previous. Eddie's pre-Riddler profession tends to vacillate pretty wildly.

from there he's not even the main villain of the story; that honor goes to an (ex?) stripper named Sphinx who Eddie hits it off with on a bus. (Vic Sage is also on the bus, naturally.) Sphinx decides to cut Eddie in on her frankly batshit crazy plan to shoot everyone on the bus and steal their shit, and decides to let him take part by telling the passengers she'll let them live if they can solve Eddie's riddles. he voices some mild objections but goes along with it, only for Vic to still let him go at the end on the grounds that it's Christmas and, probably, that he's just too pathetic to bother apprehending. (unrelated but I LOVE Christmas issues of superhero comics; without fail the WILDEST shit happens on Christmas.)

overall it's pretty unremarkable and I wouldn't have bothered to do a full post write-up BUT we absolutely have to talk about this comic's participation in the fucking arms race that was taking place at DC at the time to draw the most busted Riddler possible.

a brief timeline of some notable highlights:

in this 1989 issue of The Question, Bill Wray's Riddler shifts from page to page (especially his nose) but is generally drawn with carticature-ish and unflattering proportions

also from '89, Bernie Mireault gives us this... very stylized (and old!) gremlin Riddler in Neil Gaiman's When Is a Door

in 1990's Dark City, Kieron Dwyer is actually an anomaly offering up this very restrained and VERY '66 inspired Riddler

in 1992, the standalone Run, Riddler, Run featured Mark Badger's Riddler running on absolute nonsense proportions

and my personal favorite! in the Long Halloween in 1996 Tim Sale hit us with this extra-scrungly Riddler

... who only continued to get more wretched through Sale's work on Dark Victory in 1999...

... and Catwoman: When In Rome in 2004, by which point he also appears to be about four and a half feet tall

tl;dr this man was a little freak exclusively for like 20 years and I love it

Seriously Alfred for me will be always Michael Gough not only that he acted much better than Michael Caine did he even showed more heart and caring in the whole Batman franchise than Michael Caine did. Michael Gough did a wonderful job as the butler Alfred Pennyworth Batman's helper. I think Vicky Vale is very underrated character from all other female lead characters in all Batman films. Kim Bassinger did a wonderful performance as her role Vicki Vale. Michael Keaton was just great as Bruce Wayne/Batman, he acted like the role of Batman was written on his skin.

Another favorite comic from my youth is finally collected! Actually, I had never read these earliest issues of Bernie Mireault’s The Jam before; I found the series later. So these were something of a revelation. It’s not exactly a humor comic. More like the low-budget, down to earth, relatable version of a superhero/urban vigilante comic. But also with supernatural critters and Satan. Regardless, it’s all brilliant and I hope Nat Gettler’s About Comics brings the rest of the series back into print. #thismakesmehappy #books #2022reading #bookstagram #comics #graphicnovel #80scomics #independentcomics #berniemireault #canadiancomics #jam #thejam #aboutcomics #natgertler https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce_pAT5J0Gh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Chad in Amsterdam #1-5 - Chad Bilyeu's "Misadventures of an Atypical American Living in Amsterdam" Have a Perceptive Pekar-esque Quality

Chad in Amsterdam #1-5 – Chad Bilyeu’s “Misadventures of an Atypical American Living in Amsterdam” Have a Perceptive Pekar-esque Quality

I feel I’ve used the term Pekar-esque a little too freely at Broken Frontier of late. But in the case of Chad Bilyeu’s Chad in Amsterdam it seems particularly appropriate given the anecdotal account he gives in its pages of meeting the great man when growing up in Cleveland as a kid. Since 2018 Bilyeu has self-published five issues of his autobio series. He describes it as the “misadventures of…

Reviews from the Bargain Bin: The Blair Witch Project #1 (Oni Press, 1999) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

OK, well, for one thing - it’s really hard to see all those black-on-black handprints on the physical cover. I didn’t notice them until I scanned it in, and then did a double take opening the file. Spooky!

Often, movie-themed comic book one-shot tie-ins are hasty, rushed marketing ploys. The Blair Witch Project defies its predecessors with a pitch perfect mythos-building collection of stories that use the comic book medium to advance the Blair Witch franchise in ways that the found-footage movies cannot. 

There are three stories here, illustrated in black and white by different artists, all written by Jen Van Meter (Hopeless Savages). Meter has masters degree in Folklore, and it shows; she fluidly moves through three different periods of history with apt Weird tales for each. Additionally, there is an element of meta-fiction: Meter purports to have adapted her stories from a 1983 self-published graphic novel, Wood Witch Said, which features the delusional, horrific ravings of a former student at John’s Hopkins, who may or may not have survived an ordeal with the Blair Witch. 

In the same way that the film elevated its allure with an element of hoax, so too does this book; while that could have been cheesy and boring, the scripts are restrained, fluid, and each artist is perfectly suited for their assignments. 

I first read this one back in ‘99, on the rack at Comics Kingdom in Baltimore (which is now a Vape shop), and I haven’t seen it again until it appeared in the bargain bin. I was 10, and the Guy Davis story, at its climax (see above), shocked my young mind in a new and visceral way; I never forgot how that panel made me feel. The comic haunted me for years in a way that the movie failed to do. At summer camp, we went camping in the woods where the stories take place; I retold them to my friends as only known historical information about the real Blair Witch. Good times. 

“Elly Kedward’s Curse” is illustrated by Tommy Lee Edwards. An atmospheric and sweeping tale of one cursed woman’s experience in a post-revolutionary township overtaken by American religious fervor. I think the title character’s name is a play on the name of necromancer Edward Kelly? 

“She Needs Me: Coffin Rock” is illustrated by Guy Davis. It’s my favorite story in the book, easily. In antebellum Burkittsville, a young girl loses herself in the cursed woods, guided by a voice that gives her increasingly malicious advice. Things goes poorly for a search party that seeks to rescue her. 

“Left Alone: The Rustin Parr Killings” is illustrated by Bernie Mireault (BEM). The illustrator’s playful cartoon art contrasts with the extremely dark subject material: a contemporary tale of an isolated man who begins abducting and ritually murdering children (at the behest, of course, of the whispering Witch). It’s gruesome, unsettling, and beautifully rendered. 

The book concludes with “selections” from the cryptofictional Wood Witch Said, and the inside back cover features annotations by Meter to provide additional “historical” information about the text adaptions, and to help support the hoaxing going on. There is a lot packed into this one little floppy; I highly recommend it to any fan of horror comics.
