Amazing Spider-Man 33, February 1966, 12¢ “The FINAL CHAPTER” Spider-Man is trapped beneath some very heavy machinery as water pours down from above and fills the room

A #clzshake to start the day - ASM 33, Feb 1966, by Steve and Stan
Part 2 of the Master Planner trilogy - this moment has been referenced to the point of parody, I now roll my eyes when I see another take on it, but that scene in the story itself is pure silver age magic.

Comic book cover for the avengers #10. THE AVENGERS BREAK UP! featuring: the truly different villainy of the evil Immortus! Immortus is a bearded chap with green suit, purple cape, and tall purple headdress. The Avengers are coming for him, but Captain America stands before him in a protective stance.

#clzshake du jour - Avengers #10, Nov 1964. 1st app of Immortus. So glad Kirby kept doing covers after he stopped doing the stories themselves!

On a dark gray field, a line drawing of a young woman with long dark hair streaming upward. She wears a dirty white camisole with black tights on her legs. Her skin is colored a blue to red gradient. She is touching a cracking red transparent rectangle with her left hand

Today’s #clzshake is THB: Comics From Mars - Baltimore Comicon Exclusive, by Paul Pope

Outstanding series overall, but after seeing the oversized issues I only want to read any of it in oversized format! The standard page feels insufficient to the grandeur of the art.

Comic book cover for Action Comics #353. August 1967. 12¢. “Presenting THE BATTLE OF THE GODS” Two enormous musclemen in Greek mythology garb - little man-skirts and strap sandal boots - argue and punch each other while Superman lays dazed on the ground and thinks “it doesn’t matter who wins, I’m in for the fight of my life!”

#clzshake today brings us Action Comics 353, Aug 1967. the Wayne Boring Art makes it feel much earlier to me

Cover for DC Comic The Atom and Hawkman #40. 12¢. Subtitle is THE TITAN AND THE FURY Super melodramatic art where a looming Hawkman stands in the rain with a dead or unconscious bird in one hand and a similarly hors de combat Atom in the other. It’s a weird downer, like he’s contemplating all the horror of the world

Today’s #clzshake - Atom and Hawkman #40, Jan 1969 - cover by Joe Kubert Came across this weird little series ages ago in a back issue box and bought a few issues. Only ran for 7 issues - they team up in about half, the rest have them in separate stories.

Cover for Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #82, January 1965. In a wrestling ring, Jimmy in green tights is atop Superman, twisting his right ankle. Superman wails in pain and beats his fists on the mat. Lois, Perry, and others look on

Today’s #clzshake is good old Jimmy Olsen. I guess it’s not surprising how many covers in this run have Jimmy being a dick to Superman, or vice versa. A testament to the simmering hostility and rage that underpins their dynamic. #clzcomics #superman #silveragedc

Comic book cover for Captain Marvel #10. Captain Marvel, in green and White uniform, feels and grabs the sides of his head as he is zapped by a raygun, held by a crazed looking guy with goggles and messy hair. Other goons run up behind. The whole scene is suffused with a swirling orange and yellow energy pattern

#clzshake du jour - beautiful trippy Marie Severin cover for Captain Marvel #10, Feb 1969
Always loved Mar-Vell’s Kree officer look and there are some great covers from that era, but when I read them, the initial concept runs out of steam after around 4 issues and it’s mostly flailing after

Comic book cover for Captain America 108. Cover price 12¢. “TARGET: THE TRAPSTER” Cap swings on a horizontal bar and kicks the gun toting purple clad Trapster with what appears to be quite a wallop

today’s #clzshake, Captain America 108, 12/1968. One of my joys in the second half of Marvel’s silver age is the beautiful, unmistakeable inking of Golden Age veteran Syd Shores. One of these days I’ll do a longer post highlighting his underappreciated work. #comicsky #captainamerica #jackkirby

Comic book cover for Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #78. Cover price 12¢. Title is THE REVENGE OF JIMMY OLSEN!” Jimmy has orange hair and freckles. He wears a green suit and red bow tie. He stands in a spotlight onstage before an audience of gangsters. He is using a standee of Superman to demonstrate how Superman is really Clark Kent

The same comic from picture 1, the cover has been lifted to show another identical identical cover beneath

Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen #78, July 1964

My silver age DC collection is puny but I love it. Here’s a rare double cover, I don’t have many of those.
#comicsky #jimmyolsen #doublecover #silveragedc

Comic book cover for Superboy number 69, 1958. Cover price $.10. Superboy floats in mid air over a mountainous landscape, suspended by multicolored helium balloons. He where is a harness which is connected by a rope to his adopted father on the ground. An eagle is attacking the balloons, Superboy is scared. He cries, “ HELP, DAD KENT ! BRING ME DOWN! THAT EAGLE IS BREAKING THE BALLOONS WHICH SUPPORT ME-- AND I STILL DON'T KNOW HOW TO USE MY FLYING POWER !” The title reads, “ YOU'LL BE AMAZED WHEN YOU DISCOVER "HOW SUPERBOY LEARNED TO FLY!"”

Good morning world! Here’s another #clzshake - Superboy #69, found in a $3 box in 2024. How could I pass it up?? It’s a great example of something I love about early silver age DC - overly detailed expository dialog!
#comicsky #silveragecomics #dccomics #superboy #learningtofly

Comic book cover for Doom Patrol #112. Cover price 12¢ from DC Comics. Caption reads “ THE WORLD IS AGHAST AT THE MOST INCREDIBLE ALLIANCE --THE BROTHERHOOD of EVIL AND THE D.P. BECOME BROTHERS IN BLOOD!” Negativeman, Elastigirl and Robotman are rampaging and destroying the city. In the foreground, a gorilla in a yellow blazer points at them, teeth bared, and holds aloft a brain in a tank of liquid as if it were a waiter’s tray. The brain says, “ エーTHE BRAIN AM NOW YOUR NEW LEADER! DESTROY THE CITY!”

here’s a #clzshake to start my day. Doom Patrol 112 from 1967, bought in 1996. Doom Patrol is one of the most eccentric and fun superhero books of the silver age - the creators just really seem to be having a blast issue after issue coming up with wacky ideas.

Screen capture from the CLZ app shows the comic book cover of Avengers #45. Captain America, Goliath, The Wasp, Hercules, The Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and Hawkeye are all doing battle with The Suoer Adaptoid, a ridiculously enormous android whose appearance is made up of replicas of parts of all their costumes. Lightning flashes across the background. The title reads “BLITZKRIEG ON CENTRAL PARK!”

Hi all! New account so my comics fun doesn’t take over my main. Got option paralysis about what to use for my 1st post, so why not leave it up to a #clzshake ?
Glorious John Buscema cover, bought in 1994. One of my faves from the post-Kirby run.

Not really a Legion guy, but probably bought this purely for the Giffen art. And probably the One Million event.

I started picking up random Power of The Atom issues in dollar bins, just cuz. It's a project.

I certainly hope Del Toro's relationship with Criterion leads to a Frankenstein blu/4K release. Streaming has become such a stain.
