Heh, I can remember thinking when I first heard that the Avengers were going to debut on ABC (not long after Batman debuted) that it was going to be Thor, Iron Man, et al. When I found out it was something else I was actually disappointed. Then I saw Mrs. Peel...
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Would Cathy Gale (Honor Blackman) have been a disappointment (apart from the black and white - although Emma's kinkiest one-time costumes came during the B&W era - between the Hellfire Club dominatrix costume and the harem outfit she wore...gggggrowwwwwllll)?

Probably. Never been a fan of Blackman.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
P.-C., those links have scarred my brain. I have to go set myself on fire now.

I had those World's Finest super sons issues. Man, they had groovy sideburns.

So - does anyone remember when Robin (Dick Grayson edition) and Batgirl fought the ghost of Benedict Arnold (who was under the command of THE DEVIL)?
Can you guess what year that one came out? Oh, and Dick was in college in DC (or visiting DC) and Babs was either working for someone in Congress or WAS in Congress.

I had those World's Finest super sons issues.
In this context, I'm suddenly unsure if you intend 'had x issues' to mean that you owned those comics, or that they scarred you for life. Or both, which having looked at those links seems highly likely.
