I never thought it would happen, but I've finally reached 100 posts on this blog. I'd love to say that means I've featured 100 canon immigrants on the site, but a couple posts didn't have any and several had multiple entries, so who knows how many there really are. A lot more than 100, though, which in a way is even better!
I couldn't really think of a good way to commemorate the big 100, so instead I've decided to use it as a platform to help fill in some gaps on the site. With that in mind, here's a list of some things I've been looking for and never quite been able to find. If you have any of these things, drop me a line in the comments!
Pictures of
1. "Look, up in the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!"
2. "A strange visitor from a distant planet"
3. "Faster than a speeding bullet, etc"
4. "mild-mannered reporter for a great metropolitan newspaper"
5. Farmer Brown - Streets of Gotham #4
6. Stalker - Batman Beyond (mini) #4
7. Aunt Harriet's last name - Detective Comics #373
8. Raza - Invincible Iron Man Annual 2010
Confirmation of
1. Batman: The Animated Series being the first time Scarecrow was portrayed as an Arkham employee
2. Superman: The Animated Series being the first time Lois used "Smallville" as a nickname for Clark (I don't doubt it, but an episode title and issue number would help a lot)
3. Batman's Giant Penny first appearing in a non-comics medium (I don't think this is true, but I've heard it mentioned)
Issue numbers of first appearances for
1. Any of Superman's catchphrases ("up, up, and away", "this looks like a job for Superman", "strange visitor from a distant planet", etc)
2. Superman's changing in a phone booth (I have Action Comics #345, but there may be an earlier instance)
3. Superman's ripping open his shirt to reveal the S
4. Wonder Woman's spinning costume change
And for a bonus, here's a panel I've never really been sure should count for the site or not, but either way it's a nice little reference to DC's The Super Dictionary (1978). From Superman #709:
