Got to face the face

A wee bit back...oh, must be...seventy-three, seventy-four weeks ago...I posted a "while Bully's away" activity to have you fill in the rather blank expressions on this classic cover of World's Finest Comics:

World's Finest #167


Far from being an attack by the Living Eraser, it's actually an invitation to create the new faces of Batman and Superman, and brave and creative were those who stepped up to the plate (or to MS Paint or Photoshop Elements), like...



World's Finest #167
Keenan Funk brings on the...ah, funk, with the two biggest badasses (or is that baddest bigasses?) in the crossover universe between Earth-DC and Earth-WWF: The Hulkster and the Hexster will show you the hurt, baby! I'm told Josie came up with the idea for this mash-up. Thanks, Josie! I love you and the other Pussycats!


World's Finest #167
TB Tabby has got the power...Nintendo Power! Howard and Nestor swing into action from the pages of that late great videogame magazine's comic, proving you can fight crime with 64 well-chosen bits! Long before you kids and your wireless Wii, these two ruled the videogame world. Bring 'em back, Nintendo!


World's Finest #167
Brian Hughes over at Again With the Comics is reading my mind, because he's contributed a team-up of the two heroes I keep looking for week after week in 52: the triumphant return of Wonder Tot and Mister Genie! Can a twelve-issue Grant Morrison maxiseries be far behind? We can only hope, Brian, we can only hope.



Thank you all for parctiapting with creative and outrageous new Batmen and Supermen! Everybody who participated wins a much-coveted Bull-Prize, so if you haven't already, email me your mailing address (to bully AT nyc DOT rr DOT com). I hereby promise you no salesmen will call, I will not put you on any spam mailing list, and hey, I think you'll actually like the prize! But most of all, I thanks ya for reinventing the World's Finest for three comic books I'd surely declare the Most Fun Comics of the Week! Congrats and thanks, Keenan, TB, and Brian!

Well Hex and Hulk make perfect sense as Bats and Supes; one is a tough psychologically warped vigilante with no powers, and the other is a huge strong guy who wants to make the world better through hitting!

Shame about that orange Kryptonite though.
