BATMAN- Will You Marry Me!!??

 Brave & Bold #64 Batman rescues a flame haired girl about to be shot by a bowman using his skill and prowess with a rope.

The girl faints, she wakes to find they recognise each other...

''But why was that bow buzzard trying to ventilate your beautiful torso?"

exclaims BATMAN!!

(Head to flashback:)

Marcia was beautiful but spoilt and rich, and Batman had both rescued and erm... awkward... 


put her across his knee to ''tame'' her.

(I kid not!!!)

Marcia teams up with Bats. 

And before you know it, when they're not busting up crime gangs, they're steaming up the windows of the Batmobile!!!


Then she dumps him, which brings us up to the point where they rediscover each other.

Batman got dumped for a low life called Nicky, but if that wasn't bad enough for our heart broken hero!

Marcia wants him to pinch a jewel which Nicky stole before he died.

So BINGO!  You got it... she's available again.

Batman gets caught out as it looks like he was stealing the gem and ends up sobbing into his palms behind bars.

We find out, Marcia is  a crook working for a syndicate known as Cyclops.

She freed Eclipso from the body he shares with Dr Bruce Gordon, so that he can join her on a rampage throughout Gotham City.

But Marcia has been forced to work for Cyclops because they threatened to kill her dad.

So it's okay that she dumped our hero... until now that is!!


So now we know the origin, but here:


29th February 2012 sees Marcia back in her QUEEN BEE identity to take this leap year with force:

WILL YOU MARRY ME BATMAN!!???


Who knows what we might find come another four years???

Have a great leap year folks and those girlie's who plan to take the plunge with their fellas!! 

Wishing you all the best for a happy future!!

Popular pulp character The Phantom is 76 years old today!

Created by Lee Falk, the Phantom was adapted into many media, including television, film and video games.

The Phantom series began with a daily newspaper strip on February 17, 1936, followed by a colour Sunday strip on May 28, 1939; and both still being seen today.

Creator Lee Falk continued work on The Phantom until 1999, when he died. 

Artists which have worked on the book have been; Ray Moore, Wilson McCoy, Bill Lignante, Sy Barry, George Olesen, Keith Williams, Fred Fredericks, Graham Nolan and the lovely Eduardo Barreto.

Today the comic strip is produced by writer Tony DePaul and artists Paul Ryan Monday-Saturday and Terry Beatty is giving us some superb Phantom love every Sunday.

So who is this hang around figure of the dailys? And why is he a fashion icon?

Well… The Phantom operates in the African country Bangalla and he is part of a line of crime fighters that go back to the ripe old year of 1536.

British sailor Christopher Walker was killed by pirates and he swore on oath to fight evil on the skull of his fathers murderer and so the Phantom legacy is born and passed from father to son.

 This has given the Phantom his mysterious nickname like ‘’The Ghost Who Walks’’, ''Gaurdian Of The Eastern Dark'', and ''The Man who can not Die'', as he is believed to be immortal.

The Phantom does not have any supernatural powers, he relies on his strength, intelligence and fearsome reputation of being an immortal ghost to defeat his foes.

He is also the first character to put on that super skin tight outfit, which super heroes can not get enough of… as well as putting on a mask to hide his identity  which hide his pupils another super-hero fashion of the day.

SO... lets say! Hip hip hooray for it's PHANTOM! Day!
