You know, normally I get annoyed when Americans (and it's almost always Americans) mix up Ireland and Scotland. It's more frequent than you think, and annoying every time. We're two related, but distinct cultures.

I bring this up because I fell down a wikipedia rabbit hole today, and discovered a Scottish DC Comics character who apparently served in the 1920s IRA.

Normally, I'd be annoyed by that, but I'm willing to forgive it this time, because it's this guy:

...and that is an amazing mental image.

So Congorilla, also known as Congo Bill; was an early 20th century adventurer whose mind was transferred into an immortal mystic golden gorilla, later becoming a member of the Justice League

I have recently discovered that prior to turning into a gorilla, he was a member of the IRA and fought in the Irish War of Independence

So I can't get this image out of my head of this golden gorilla with a gun running after a bunch of Black and Tans singing rebel songs. That there are photos of a gorilla in a suit next to Michael Collins.

Also you know Bill is banned from using the JLA’s social media cause he was keep heckling the British government and the Queen

Calling all Dick stans! We're live with another poll for our fav blue boy 💙

The DickBats Era is known to all of you but the focus is usually on Batman Reborn. With this poll we want to shine a light onto a comic that isn't talked about that often: Justice League of America

Dick lead the team for a while and got positioned into an interesting line-up.

WC: WORLD'S FINEST #151

WC: WORLD’S FINEST #151

During the Silver Age of Comics, there was a prevailing wisdom that it was the cover that sold the magazine, rather than any quality within the book itself. Comics were largely an impulse purchase on the part of numerous casual young readers, so coming up with a cover image that would grab their imagination and compel them to ask their parents for a dime and two pennies was critical.
