Respect -- Comic Humor!

Comic book writers and artists put a lot of effort into making their books enjoyable reads for their fans. Sometimes they do so by injecting lighter dialogue, non-sequitors, off-the-wall visuals, or odd juxtapositions that prompt laughs.

I want to honor them by showcasing some of those moments, giving full reference information where known...

Oh!

I should explain about my last scan:

Starbreaker is an EXTREMELY powerful JLA opponent.

There is an excellent respect thread dedicated to him elsewhere on this board that shows him LITERALLY pushing planets into suns.

Without the explanation given by McDuffie, that Paladin scene would probably seem the equivalent of Marvel Comics' Beyonder being taken down with a slingshot...

KMC only allows 1 scan per post when it serves as its own image host provider, so the following will be a set of 6.

For some reason, the image I submitted with the post before would not go through, even though it came in at 244 KB.

I tried again just now and it STILL rejected it...

Well, I hate relying on an outside image host; when they go out, they take all uploaders digital info with them, but, I don't want the above to be incomplete if I can help it so...
