Batgirl!

memorable characters: grotesques such as the murderous Rughead and a 467-lb.
killer named Oodles, health faddist George Ozone and his wild boys named Neki
and Hokey, the despicable "Nothing" Yonson, the amoral teenager Joe
Period, and the introduction of nightclub photog-turned policewoman Lizz. Plus
for the first time Gould brings back an old villain: Mumbles, who was thought
drowned in 1947. And finally, he introduces what may be his most mature story
of the 1950s—starring none other than Flattop Jr.!

Bobby London (w & a & c)
Famed Dirty Duck and Air Pirates cartoonist Bobby
London's more than six-year run on the Popeye newspaper strip has been hailed
both as a unique original creation and as an homage to Elzie Segar's larger
Thimble Theatre vision. "Segar was the seminal influence in my
career," the cartoonist said. London updated the strip to reflect current
pop culture and also brought back the extended story format favored by Segar.
London gives us new yet familiar versions of Popeye, Olive Oyl, Swee' Pea, and
Wimpy, as well as Popeye's Pappy, Olive's brother Castor, Eugene the Jeep,
Bernice the Whiffle Hen, the menacing Sea Hag, Alice the Goon, and more!

Walter Simonson (w & a & c)
Walter Simonson can honestly be described as a living
legend. Besides co-creating Manhunter with the great Archie Goodwin, in the
early days of his career, Simonson has written and drawn nearly all of the
Marvel and DC characters at one time or another. Highlights include The
Fantastic Four, Batman, Orion, Elric, and his groundbreaking run on The Mighty
Thor.
But before all of these, there was Star Slammers, a series
first devised by Simonson during his college days. The Slammers would later be
resurrected as a Marvel Graphic Novel, and then a mini-series. Simonson
describes it thus: Once upon a time, there was a race of men who could
out-shoot, out-fight, and out-kill anybody. They were paid fabulous sums to act
as mercenaries. The practice became so lucrative, they decided to go into
business. They became the most successful businessmen in history, and they
called themselves…The Star Slammers!
