The Grooviest Covers of All Time: That Groovy Wonder Woman!

Dig it, Groove-ophiles! While Lynda Carter may always hold the hearts of those of us who grew up in the Groovy Age, Gal Gadot is donning the tiara of Wonder Woman today on the big screen! Ol' Groove has heard good things about this new version of WW, and as always, I'm going in with an open mind and hopes for a great flick! While we wait for the projector to start (yeah, I know, that's not how it's done these days, but Ol' Groove IS stuck in the Groovy Age, y'know), let's travel through the Groovy Age to plant our peepers on some of Ol' Groove's favorite Wonder Woman covers. Covers with art by giants like Mike Sekowsky, Dick Giordano, Jeff Jones, Ross Andru, Rich Buckler, Mike Grell,,  Jose Delbo, and more!

Thanksgiving Feast 2016: Favorite Comics from Groovy Thanksgivings

Happy Thanksgiving, Groove-ophiles! Hope you ate plenty, had a great nap, and spent time with loved ones. Now, back to own annual Thanksgiving Feast!

Comicsbooks have always beens such a huge part of my life, so naturally, some of my best memories involve them. The time off from school for Thanksgiving Break always meant more time for reading comics, and sharing them with cousins and uncles who shared my love of the medium. Here are the covers of a bunch of faves that Young Groove juuuust might've spilled a bit of gravy on...

See ya in six hours for Black (and White) Friday!

Black and White Wednesday: DC on TV from Amazing World of DC Comics #15

Dig it, Groove-ophiles! In The Amazing World of DC Comics #15 (August 1977), Anthony Tollin wrote a nice, photo-filled article encapsulating the history of DC heroes on live-action TV. Later in that same ish, Mark Evanier gave us an excellent essay on TV's Wonder Woman, Lynda Carter! All those facts and photos came under a gorgeous Mike Nasser (now Michael Netzer) WW cover. And heeeeeere it is!

Groove's Countdown: Batman's Groovy Age B&B Co-stars

Hey, hey, hey, Groove-ophiles! We talk about Batman's team-up mag, Brave and the Bold, a lot around here. Most of us dig it quite a bit...the "zany" Bob Haney stories (which were often deftly plotted and contained just the right amount of grim-and-gritty), the glorious Jim Aparo artwork, and, of course, the co-stars! The Caped Crusader seemed to have teamed up with just about everyone during the Groovy Age--but he didn't, really. In fact, he could have teamed up with a lot more DC Super-stars, but there were a few he kept hanging out with quite often! Who were the heroes who teamed with The Batman most often during the Groovy Age? The answer might just shock ya, baby! Here come The Batman's Top 5 (kinda/sorta) B&B Groovy Age co-stars via...

Whoo! And away we go!

#4: In fourth place, we have a SEVEN-WAY TIE! Yep, The Metal Men, Plastic Man, The Atom, Deadman, The Flash, Aquaman, and the Teen Titans all joined The Darknight Detective on (can you believe this?) four cases apiece! It's a fact, Jack!

#3: Coming in third--another tie!? S'true! Sgt. Rock (!), Black Canary, and Wildcat all teamed with The Batman on five adventures each!

#2: Okay, no tie here, but this one was the shocker! Believe it or not, Wonder Woman teamed with the Caped Crusader on six different occasions during the Groovy Age--and yeah, a couple of them were during her powerless stage! How 'bout those Amazonian apples?

#1: And the hero who teamed with The Batman most often during the Groovy Age era of B&B? None other than Green Arrow! Yep, the hero who started out (during the Golden Age) as a Batman clone joined his blue-and-gray inspiration on no less than eight different B&B adventures (over the course of nine issues--one case was a two-part/two issue affair)!

And there ya have it, Groove-ophiles! Don't never say Ol' Groove ain't never leart ya nothin'!
