Night arrives with her purple legion (Part 6)....

Legion Lore

Chameleon Boy

Reep Daggle is from Durla, the planet who millennia ago had the "Six Minute War" with unleashed atomic weapons all over the globe. The few survivors were mutated into creatures who were able to change their shape into nearly anything. And they passed that ability down through the generations.

Durlans aren't really trusted in the galaxy so they keep pretty much to their planet not going off world. Reep said screw that! he left Durla and came to Earth with the express wish to join the Legion and show everything Durlas could in fact be trusted. And he did. And he has. He was the full time leader of the Legion Espionage Squad.

This entry is drawn by long time Legion artist Keith Giffen

Just saw online that Gerry Conway has died.

He was a comic book writer, and influential one. He created Firestorm, The Punisher, the Man-Bat. He wrote the story where Gwen Stacy died. He co-created Power Girl, Jason Todd (the second Robin) and Killer Croc. He wrote the Justice League of America for 8 years, from 1978 to 1986, and while I don't like the Detroit League era that he wrote, at least his stories were readable and entertaining. He wrote the cross company teamup between Superman and Spider-Man in the late 70s. He wrote a lot of Spider-Man issues and Batman issues. And these are only his comic book works, he wrote things outside of comics as well.

I can't say that he was one of my favorite writers, but he was a constant presence in the comic books of my youth and was generally entertaining.

He was 73. R.I.P.

Today, by the Maestro George Perez, we have a cover of a Legion Of Super-Heroes comic, without the upper info on it (title, price box, number box, etc)

It shows Cosmic Boy, Karate Kid, Light Lass and Timber Wolf reacting in surprise at Reflecto (who was actually Ultra Boy), carrying Phantom Gil in a beam of light).

Badass Birthday

On this date in 1963, in Swansea England, Russell T. Davies was born.

Who, you say?

He's a Welsh screenwriter and tv producer. He created the gay ground-breaking series Queer As Fold in England in 1999-2000. This led to the American version on Showtime 25 years ago.

And then, 5 years later the BBC took a big chance on him and allowed him to reboot the Doctor Who series nearly 20 years after they canceled it. And DAMN if he didn't do an INCREDIBLE job! His version is what got me hooked on Doctor Who. After he left, with the decline of the plots and stories, you knew how important he was to its recreation.

He's done other stuff, including Doctor Who spin offs (Torchwood and The Sarah Jane Adventures) but really, his Doctor Who work alone (with maybe a smidge of QasF thrown in for good measure) show just how much of a badass he is!

Yeah, it's true.

I started playing D&D with the red box: two 'books' explaining the game, 6 D&D dice, a pencil and a piece of paper. And now...

Now, I've got two shelves of D&D items, and well as several others piled on the floor. I still occasionally find things online and buy them. And I've haven't played it in probably 12-15 years! It's an insidious lil hobby.

My birthday song, my happy world (Part 265)...

Badass Birthday

On this date, in 1933, in San Antonio, Texas, Carol Burnett was born.

We'll get to her self titles show in a minute. Carol Burnett has been on Broadway, television and film. Over the years she's earned 7 Emmys, a Tony, a Grammy, and 7 Golden Globes. Her career has lasted 7 decades.

But really, she's a badass, if for nothing else, than The Carol Burnett Show. I remember in my youth, sitting on the sofa with mom at 10 pm on Saturday Nights and settling in to watch the show. Week after week after week.

Without her show, would we have ever heard of Vicki Lawrence, Harvey Korman or Tim Conway? Maybe, but it's doubtful they would have reached the level of fame they did.

From her show we got:

As The Stomach Turns sketches

The Family sketches (Eunice and Mama)

Nora Desmond sketches

The Oldest Man sketches

The Queen sketches

Stella Toddler sketches

Mrs. Wiggins sketches (and Mr. Tudball)

and tons of commercials and movies parodies

I mean, if you've not seen their parody of "Gone With The Wind" called "Went With The Wind", please, do yourself a favor and go watch it on youtube. Seeing her dress and the line about it is worth the price of admission alone.

And now, at the age of 93, she's still acting, currently appearing in Palm Royale.

Total badass!
