I would not sell my collection, for if I did, I would cry (Part 50)...

Today In The History Of Polt's Comic Book Collection

Today, we go back just 10 years to February 2010, and DC Comics' Power Girl #7.

This is right before DC Comics shot themselves in the foot and forced me to stop buying their titles when they released the crappy New52. But this title, anyway, was pretty good while it lasted. It was a humorous title, played mostly for laughs, with some seriousness included on the side. I always liked Power Girl (Earth-2 Superman's cousin, that Earth's equivalent to Supergirl), but as I said, this title they gave her was a fun, funny title.

Until the Poo52 crap killed it.

Don't know who the chick is, but the guy is Patrick Mahomes, winning quarterback of this year's Super Bowl. He plays for the Kansas City Chiefs, and his shirt reflects the idiot statement made by tRump (impeached), wherein tRump (impeached) congratulated the great state of Kansas on the win.....even though the Kansas City Chiefs play in Missouri.

POLT

Primary day in South Carolina.

If the polls are correct, then Biden should win by a decent margin.

However, i would not be at all surprised if Bernie "won".

Because, remember, tRump(impeached) and Putin both want Bernie to be the Democratic nominee. They know, as does anyone who as any political sense at all, that Bernie a thin-skinned, has had no serious challenge in any of this elections, doesn't take criticism well, and has a whole past full of dirt to be aired or exaggerated.

Plus, don't forget, in 2017, 17 different US intelligence agencies, as well as the British and the Israeli intelligence, told us the Russians hacked into the election databases of 46 different states. It doesn't look like the did anything, but they got in. And in the last 3 years, we've done nothing to improve election security. The House passed a bill to increase funding for it, but that's sitting on McConnell's desk, because neither McConnell nor tRump (impeached) WANT there to be any increased eletion security.

Also, remember that two weeks ago, at the beginning of the week, a high ranking intelligence official briefed Congress on the fact that the Russians were helping tRump (impeached) already. And before the end of that week, that official was fired, replaced by a tRump (impeached) lackey, and that lackey over that weekend 'reported' that he didn't see any evidence of the Russians helping tRump (impeached), but somehow he saw some kind of evidence showing that the Russians were 'helping' Bernie.

SO, since the Russians and the current leadership of the Federal government want Bernie to be the nominee, it wold not surprise me at all if Bernie somehow 'won' the South Carolina primary....what with the Russians being in South Carolina's voter database and all.

I do hope I'm wrong.

But I would not be surprised if I wasn't. Saddened, yes, surprised, no.

Superhero Anydays

Today we have one of the quirkiest superheroes from the Golden Age WWII, Earth-2 era: The Red Bee!

He was an District Attorney or something in the Pacific Northwest and he wanted to fight the criminals he couldn't prosecute, so he put on this costume......got himself a swarm of trained bees (I kid you not) and kept them in his belt, where he could release. His favorite bee was named Michael (you can't make this stuff up). Oh and he also carried a 'stinger gun'.
********************
And today we also have a batch of cosplayers doing some Legion of Super-Heroes members in their early costumes.

Saturn Girl, Lightning Lass, Shadow Lass, Brainiac 5, Triplicate Girl, Shrinking Violet, and Phantom Girl.
