She's big. She's green. She's the smartest gal in the room. She hates clothing. (Huk-L)

A nothing character that lots of people have done a surprising amount with. (Pete)

Greatest Moment: defeating Blizzard with the power of booze (Mark C)

And the good Eisner-written stories from the Spirit totally pwn everything he did post-retirement obv.

Maybe tomorrow, though...

You're pretty much right -- this would have been circa '42-'45, when Eisner diverted his attentions from comic books to beating the Nazis, albeit using comic books to do it, using them as instruction manuals for GIs. Still, Lou Fine was drawing El Spirito, and since he was one of the three best Golden Age artists, that's no bad thing.

Greatest moment: beating the Meatles. Whoops, meeting the Beatles.

Wimpy is probably best know for
his consumption of hamburgers,
and anything else if hamburgers
are not available. Here is his famous,
"I would gladly pay you Tuesday
for a Hamburger today." line.

"Iconic character. Impossible to write good stories about." Pete

Probably the character whose star has risen the most since the voting closed, with Showcase Presents reintroducing the crazy Silver Age tales, All-Star making a strong case for the same spirit in modern comics, and one of the few good One Year Later renovations. I voted for him, mostly on the basis of his appearances in Morrison's JLA: a particular favourite moment was the panel of him wrestling an angel.

"greatest moment: Superman's Return To Krypton! A novel-length epic written by Jerry Siegel, drawn by (I think) Kurt Shaffenburger and screamed at by Mort Weisinger!" Vic Fluro

If we have unfinished polls, then suck it.

If Superman has gone up, how far DOWN has Batman gone? Aside from the Morrison issues, he's like a giant turd sitting in my drink.

Yay for Andrew!

Hey, the vagina dentata thread is thattaway!

But please don't post there, Zillaman might come back.
