Tag: Batman Family Reunion

Shawn is still dizzy from doing cartwheels with Robin, so Paul is able to sneak the rest of the pumpkin pie. Come join us as Catgirl shows up to harass Robin in his first full length adventure!  We also revisit Batgirl’s Last Case and see Batwoman “Spin” on a Sprang Fan!

The villain of the issue! He may not be much, but he sticks to his theme!

The DC Line of Super-Stars! Yes please!

Next episode, Shawn and Paul will fight over the ruler.

Some great early Batgirl covers.  Which is your favorite?

Trap door!

Who needs a Crisis to explain this???

Ouch.

 

Hang on tight!

Yoink!

Ascot wearing Bruce is not impressed!

Another great logo for Martin...

Great special effects for the 1950s!

 

Great panel layout!

Up Up and Awaaaay!

First Edition Sale.  Which group would you choose?

And Shawn's videotape collection!

And Shawn's candy for this month! (I am sure Martin and Siskoid will love this...)

This month, we pull out all the stops for our special Bicentennial Reunion!  Shawn and Paul are decked out in Red, White, & Blue, and we welcome an unexpected guest - the Joker's Daughter!  See her first appearance, Batgirl wrassle some bison, and the Mad Hatter get foiled by a hatpin!

Issue 6 - DC Salutes the Bicentennial!

Cool poster splash page!

Babs rocking the 70s Cowgirl fashion!

Better get changed fast!

Hmmmmm.... We are stumped!

Ah the famous Hudson Unispan!

Get those golden arrows, Jervis!

LOVE the Jury!

We want to see that hairpin in the Batcave!

Tomahawked!

Paul did not have enough to get the belt buckle in 1976...  🙁

But in 2022 he got one!

And now, the final page from Detective 369, that was NOT reprinted in Batman Family #2!  Catwoman is NOT happy!

And here is Shawn's favorite cereal!

Liz Anne Oswalt - her Robin design! Thanks for sharing Liz Anne!

At the Reunion this month, you can see Shawn and Paul try a double back flip - not a pretty sight!  But stick around for the goulash and the discussion about Batman Family #5, which has a great Batgirl-Robin team-up, the somewhat silly debut of the Signalman, and the first appearance of Ace, the Bat-Hound!

Happy Holidays!  Robin and Batgirl are spending them apart, but you can join Paul Kien and Shawn M. Myers as they take you on a sleigh ride through Batman Family #4!   We have 2 new tales starring Batgirl and Robin, the first appearance of Fatman, and an extra-length epic guest starring the Elongated Man!

But most importantly, we have a special guest star - Chris Franklin! He drops in to talk about one of his favorite holiday stories (but we are mostly glad that he brought the casserole made by Cindy!)
