THE RED KRYPTONITE TOUR (Part 6 - 1966 and 1967)

The last installment of this tour guided us through all the red kryptonite stories published in 1965.  Here's a link in case you missed it!

The Red Kryptonite Tour - Part 5 (1965)


Now, we pick up with the next amazing array of Red K tales that were published by DC Comics!  By this time, the trope of the Red K has worn a bit thin, so usage of the meddlesome mineral slows down.  Because of this, we'll be able to cover two years' worth of tales in this entry.  As always, the numbering will pick up from the previous red kryptonite tours.  Enjoy!

THE JOKER'S DAUGHTER TOUR

In 1976, Robin encountered a bizarre and enigmatic young woman who introduced herself as The Joker's Daughter.  She's decked in a costume that resembles the one that Joker typically appears in, and taunts Robin relentlessly.  Though she's presented as a villain, she seems more intent on simply taunting our hero and declaring that she's going to figure out his secret identity!  

To find out more about this bizarre character (who is still appearing in DC stories to this day), drop your fare in the meter, grab a seat, buckle up, and enjoy the trip!

THE DOCTOR FATE TOUR

The mysterious Dr. Fate has long been one of DC Comics' most enduring and powerful sorcerer heroes. The character originally debuted in 1940 during the Golden Age of comic books.  To date, there have been eleven different versions of the character.  In this tour, we will take a look at each person (or sometimes persons!) who has claimed the mantle of Dr. Fate.

THE DC 100+ ISSUES TOUR (Part II)

This tour covers the entirety of DC Comics titles that hold the distinction of having more than 100 issues published.  Because of the large number of entries for this journey, it was broken down into two separate blogs.  Having covered all the titles with 100+ through 149 issues in Part I, we pick up here with the titles that achieved 150+ issues. Grab a snack and enjoy the trip!



THE DC 100+ ISSUES TOUR (Part I)

These days, it’s increasingly uncommon for a comic series to break the 100-issue mark. Publishers frequently reboot their titles with fresh volumes, using the excitement of a brand-new Issue #1 to draw in readers and entice collectors.  

In years past, however, the milestone of 100+ issues was more common.  In this tour, we'll look at all the DC titles that achieved this milestone.
