Today in Comics History, August 16: Happy birthday, Madonna!

Born on this day: singer, songwriter, and (ahem) actor Madonna! Marvel shoulda given her a series in the '80s, doncha think?

Today in Comics History, December 13, 1946: Gotham City's Most Ironic Death Sentence

Hey, remember that TV show Early Edition, about the guy who got newspapers from the future?


opening titles from Early Edition (CBS, 1996), theme composed by W. G. Snuffy Walden
Well, as we all know...Batman did it first.


from "The Man Who Could Not Die!" in World's Finest Comics #32 (January 1948), script by Bill Finger, pencils by Paul Cooper, inks by Ray Burnley, letters by Ira Schnapp
When he finds out he is unkillable for 365 days (366 days if it's a leap year), crook Lucky Star does what all of us would do in the same situation: he cosplays as Ted "Starman" Knight.




Uh oh! It's into the pokey for Lucky Starr. But could that prediction of the day he dies actually come true, Alanis? Why...yessssssssssssss.


Most tragically of all: Lucky never lived to see his theme song finally hit the top of the pop charts.

That page again is right here for a Madonna vs. Python mash-up, and hurry: this offer expires next Monday! (By which I mean This Is My Jam pages only stay up for one week.)


PS: Here it is as well:
