I totally had an action figure The Creeper when I was younger. I never knew his name though, but it was among one of the best articulated figures I had. For some reason, though, I thought he could transform into a werewolf-like-creature, but on his wiki page, it makes no mention of that as one of his abilities.

Power Girl looks a little top heavy in that last image. I'd be surprise if she could even get off the ground. My superhero crush was always Storm... with a mohawk.

I'll now be introducing this "theme within the theme", and it will heretofore be known as "Superhero Camp".
(If you don't know what 'Camp' means, it's a British term of light insultation. Basically, coalesce definitions #1, 3, 4 & 5 to understand its premise.)

"Camp Superman"

[dialbforblog.]

Not for nothing, Charlie, and I don't mean to insult you in any way, because I do appreciate having at least one contributor/commentator on this topic, (though I am waiting/hoping for more to join in, perhaps foolishly) but do you think you could try to at least find the respective authors to the works, illustrations, photographs that you are posting?

I mean, it's not hard to find, as, for instance, I uncovered the creator to the above canvas painting's in less than ten seconds, and I do find it fortuitous, if not altogether serendipitous, to be able to have the opportunity to give nearly every artist within my threads their due recognition. But, I really can't do it alone (even though up until this point I have, but it is exhausting "tidying" up after others after a while). If you need any pointers or hints about how to actually find all the relevant details, or just the right "in this direction" credits, I'd be happy to help. Ecstatic, really.


Anyway, besides that little nudging diatribe, here is...
'The Man & The Muppet Of Steel' by "Jim", aka StrangelyDrawn

one more example of "camp creativity"...

What would have happened had Dennis The Menace cartoonist
Hank Ketcham created 'The Fantastic Four'? This explains it:

Garth Ennis, Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti's 'The Pro' Animation
 

http://i32.tinypic.com/330hfg4.jpg

Prostitution has been explored pretty thoroughly in Hollywood, but I'm not sure anything's approached the superpowered depravity of an animated version of "The Pro." Based on Garth Ennis, Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti and Paul Mounts' 2002 one-shot from Image Comics, the animated trailer serves as something of a summary of the hooker heroine's adventures in a world of superhero parody.

There's been talk of a live action version of "The Pro" before (with creators calling for actresses such as Sarah Silverman and Ellen Muth for the leading role) along with a supposed movie "demo," but this past week's post by Palmiotti on YouTube marks the first time this particular animation's been made widely viewable.


Watch the animated short film HERE.

back to our unregularly-scheduled sidetrack: "Camp Superheroes"

http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l5...6f9yo1_500.jpg

fanservice! Wednesday continues with a new, sleek feature of Character Captures; this week: Zatanna.

http://dcu.tumblr.com/photo/1280/861...byu1iSK1qzvnpd
Zatanna Zatara is a DC(comics) Universe stage-magician/superhero whose magical abilities derive from speaking backwards. She is the daughter of magician John Zatara, who passed these abilities down to her daughter.

Zatanna is a long time friend of Batman, who she met as a child. In later years, their relationship would lead to her joining the Justice League during the Satellite Era. It was in these years the infamous mind-wipe of Batman and Dr.Light took place (as seen in Identity Crisis). However, Batman and Zatanna would reconcile from these events and grow closer once more.

Currently, Zatanna is fighting evil magical underworld types in the streets of San Francisco in the pages of her solo series.
