Today in Comics History, August 16, 1943: Happy (other*) birthday, Alfred Pennyworth!


from Injustice: Gods Among Us: Year Five (2015 series) #26 (DC digital, June 2016), script by Brian Buccellato, pencils and inks by Mike S. Miller, colors by J. Nanjan, letters by Wes Abbott

*However, this comic is non-canonical, what with it's Joker-killin' and Superman-baddenin'. And the Pre-Crisis Alfred had his birthday on April 8. So, when he actually celebrates is anybody's guess! Somebody codfiy it into a story, won'tcha? (Me, I only celebrate Alfred's birthday on April 8!)


from Super DC Calendar 1976 (DC, 1975), letters by Ben Oda

But... the old DC calendar said Alfred was born on April 8! It's like they don't even CARE about continuity any more!

(Though that was back when Alfred was a WWII veteran, which probably isn't the case now, given that 1943 birth date.) (Or Alfred REALLY hated Nazis so much that he was fighting them as a toddler.) (We'll go with that theory. I like that theory.)

I never thought I'd say this but I agree with Green Luthor. (He'd look so cute at nap time cuddling up with L'Enfant Mademoiselle Marie.)
