Pretty sure it's come up *here* before. Buffistas and punctuation? We're going to discuss it. (Teal'c, I am looking at you, buddy.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, I don't get the point of retconning him into a redhead. You want to liven up the Robin landscape, give Damian brown hair.
I am very much enjoying my re-immersion into comics right now. Previously I hadn't liked Grant Morrison's work much (I know, I know--I just didn't like what he did on the X-Men), but it seems he's the go to guy for the characters I want to read.
And I also realised I hadn't finished Y: The Last Man. Miraculously I'm still unspoilt, so I'll be polishing off the last deluxe book of that.

I got ridiculously angry at the DC Comics iPad app/store, because they don't have the first 8 issues of The Sandman available now. The only issues there are 34, 35, and 44. Dammit, I want the first 8!
(I also want both Death miniseries for the iPad, but realize that won't happen. Grrr. )

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Barry Windsor-Smith did a portfolio of five Conan characters back in '75. Here's a gorgeous rendition of the evil wizard Thoth Amon.
I want to live in that evil wizard city!

Also, via Feuillton, a lovely obit on Jeffrey Catherine Jones.
More on Jeff Jones involvement at The Studio (which included Jones, Barry Windsor-Smith, Berni Wrightson and Mike Kaluta).

I always loved his version of Red Sonja better than the later version with the chain mail bikini.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Wow, you can really see the Wyeth influence in his style there.
