Daily reminder that Superman and Batman once had a sleepover so homoerotic, it attracted penis aliens from space to breed and feed on there emotioms because they literally had the most powerful love in the universe.

Who cares, Batman loves Joker more.
>>82953944
what is this homo shit
>>82953944
Hold on, I think I have the whole page.
>>82953944
Mom! What is mating?
>>82954274
Fucking. Animalistic, ritualistic FUCKING.

What is fucking?
>>82953944
That's gay.
>>82953944
So, weird Silver-Age shit thread?
>>82954301
Tender mating.

Oh god,my fucking sides. They're on their way to Andromeda.
>Are you hungry?
It gets funnier every time I read it again.
>>82954946
No, OP's comic was clearly bronze age. Stay casual though.
>>82953944
The whole issue was full of narration out of a romance novel too
>>82954429
I am now even sadder that New 52 Supes is dying.
>>82955333
Neophyte here. How do you discern them?
>>82958505
The specific delineation can get tricky, but it was a story published in the 80s. We were full bronze age across the board by then.
>>82958529
Alright. Why do we even have gold, silver, and bronze age comics? It sounds kind of silly. I can't tell any of this apart. As far as I can tell Golden age comics is war-time, so everything is clean. Silver age goes wacky, while bronze age makes no sense, apparently?
>>82953944
source please
>>82958597
Keeps track of Thematic differences, and the major changes that affect the industry.
The golden age lasted until Seduction of the Innocent came along, Silver Age was wacky sci-fi to keep within the Comics Code, Death of Gwen Stacy caused a shift towards more serious stories, Watchmen caused stories to try and become more serious, leading to the XTREME comics of the dark age, etc..

I doubt you will remind us daily.

Storytime?
>>82958792
Comics were getting darker/serious even before The Death of Gwen Stacy. That story just pushed it over the edge since a major character like her actually dying and not just "found a weird thingamabob to bring her back to life" was something pretty damn big at the time. But really around the 70's as a whole they were slowly moving away from wacky shit and moving towards deep shit like 30 issues earlier than Gwen's death you had Harry almost ODing on heroin.
>>82960508
Then came the dark age where they pushed it to a ridiculous degree along with some perceived 'cool' elements and it looped back to being wacky again.
>>82960729
The sad thing was that it had a nice thing going. Slowly making serious and deep comics. Hell it really wasn't DKR and Watchmen that really caused the Dark Age. More to do with spectacular boom and how Sales department had more control over everything. So everything needed to be bigger and exciting and awesome to focus on selling more than to make a fun story. DKR and Watchmen was more of just how things were going. Comics were getting serious and those was just a follow up to where comics were going.
>>82960822
Not that Anon, but I assumed it was due to the Death and Return of Supes.
>>82963792
Bless you anon
the end
>>82964108
yeah no problem
>>82964151
Well that was entertaining. OP was pretty much right though which make it so much more funny to me.
I might be in the minority here but I like short weird standalone stories like this. One reason why I like the Twilight Zone so much.
>>82964273
Its nice.
Also totally fucking gay

Wow the ending was actually written very well. I liked it a lot, very touching. What is this? Bronze age?
Thanks for the storytime.
>>82963946
Jesus.
I've always liked Doug Moench's work for the most part, but damn, the dialogue on this page is terrible (the writing for the whole issue is dodgy, but this especially so). It's all exposition, all the time.
Somewhat surprised nobody's brought up the artist on this comic yet. This issue was drawn by the late Adrian Gonzales, who would go on to become one of the most prolific TV animation storyboard artists of the 1980s and part of the 1990s:

Thanks for storytiming, that was nice.

If weird standalone shorts are your thing, you should definitely check out the horror, mystery, weird west, and war comics anthologies DC published back in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and early 1980s. Titles like House of Mystery, Weird War Tales, G.I. Combat, The Witching Hour, Secrets of Haunted House, etc.
Not all of them were good, in fact, I'd go so far as to say that 95% of the shorts were between "forgettable" and "terrible" but the 5% that was actually good were really memorable, and from the early 1970s onwards, the art was almost universally good.
Some of the best ones have been collected in Showcase Presents paperbacks, but much more have never been reprinted, unfortunately.
You can also try tracking down the original Eerie, Creepy, The Rook, Blazing Combat, Vampirella, 1984, and 1994 comics anthology magazines that Warren Publishing put out back in the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s. Worth checking out for the brilliant art alone. You had legends like Alex Toth, Wally Wood, Alex Niño, Esteban Maroto, Russ Heath, Gene Colan, Richard Corben, Rudy Nebres, Auraleon, Jose Ortiz, John Severin, Luis Bermejo, Isidro Moñes, Tony DeZuniga, etc.
Pound-for-pound, I don't think any American publisher had that much legendary international art talent working for it at the same time. (Too bad the same couldn't be said for the writers... Archie Goodwin was the only one who wrote consistently solid stories.)
Dark Horse has been reprinting the classic Creepy and Eerie stuff as archival hardcovers and Dynamite has been releasing archival volumes of the 1960s and 1970s Vampirella, but the 1984 and 1994 anthologies (which occasionally featured "soft porn-y" stories) remain uncollected, as far as I know.
>>82963570
No. IIRC, Death and Return was one of the factors that led to the whole industry to implode on itself. Comics were already dark by the time that happened.
>>82964151
Weird as hell, written like a homoerotic novel, but damn was it a good read. Thanks anon, it was great.
>>82963844
Damn
