Yes, we have some sad news to report here at the BAT-BLOG and also some good news. Norm Breyfogle, the legendary "Batman" Comic Book Artist, recently suffered a stroke. As far as I have been able to tell he is doing OK, or is stable, I guess. I don't have much info except that he is being crushed by medical bills. So, his family started a "You Caring" page to accept donations. They have collected around $51,000 so far but need much much more as his medical bill will probably be around $200,00 or so, if not more.
Anyways, here's a LINK to the DONATE PAGE and please do what you can. norm's a great guy and he should be important to all you Comic Book Collectors out there. Hey, I also know that Batman Fans are some of the best, most kind-hearted, people on the planet and many of you will step-up, so THANK YOU in advance!!
Whoops, also forgot to mention that even if you can't donate, then at lease please PLEASE share this post in your social media (Facebook, twitter, etc...) so that other people can see it. Thanks again.
Check out this incredible vintage family photo showing our friend Bob Snare back in the day, around 1968 or '69.
His Mother made him his wonderful "Batman TV Show" Costume and it's really great! I mean, you can really see all the love that went into it. I like that. Hey, Good Job, Mom!!
(Thanks Bob)
Here's a nice video I came across the other night that shows a ton of the characters (like around 150 of them, ha ha!) from the new LEGO BATMAN 3: BEYOND GOTHAM Video Game. Check it out' it's kinda fun! This game looks like it would be great for kids.
Anyone who has read the BAT-BLOG for the last few years knows my complete obsession with "foreign" Batman Comic Books. Check out these 2 images I came across on the Internet awhile back that show some reprinted comics from Greece. Yes, all the way from that country and in the Greek language, so amazing! The title is AYNAMIKA!
Do YOU have any "Foreign Language" Bat-Books? If so, then please send us some pics. Thanks!
I realize I have not posted in awhile (sorry about that) but my life has been in slight crisis. Nothing really super bad, but I have had a lot of crap to deal with so there ya go, ha! So, here's a quick post to share some funny "Batman" memes I have seen recently.
Most of them explain themselves pretty well but I gotta mention that the one down below, featuring "Darkwing Duck", is a super-great parody of Brian Bolland's cover art to the "Batman: The Killing Joker" Graphic Novel. Yes, it's a nice tribute.
