R.I.P, Martin Nodell



This isn't very sportsy of us, but we have to tip our cap to Green Lantern creator Martin Nodell, who passed away on Saturday.


Nodell's Green Lantern wasn't the one we are all familiar with, in the emerald green body suit, but rather the Golden Age GL, Alan Scott, who had one of ugliest costumes in comic book history--green pants, red top, kind of purply grey-black high collared cape. He made his first appearance in 1940.

So, so long Martin, and thanks for all the Green Lanterns.



Even Alex Ross has trouble
making the costume look cool

I have! Thanks for asking!

I hate to Out you, "anonymous," but from the tenor of your funny yet cruel riposte, I have no doubt that your name begins with "Anne," you live in Chicago, you have a cute baby girl, everyone says your husband looks like Dr. Drew but I've always thought about him as a pleasant, Norwegian Ted Bundy-looking guy ... also, you still want to know where the ducks go when the pond in Central Park freezes over.

I'll have you know that our fearless monkey leader has never laid down with the fairer sex, and not provided said damsel with an orgasm.... so put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Listen to him speak about music or politics and you too will develop a crush that defies all reason.

Madden captures the ducks, turns them into TurDucken, and feeds the vagabonds from his bus.
