Description

The new DC Cinematic Universe is upon us with an official relaunch in 2025 with Superman (teaser trailer is out), but in a lowkey manner, James Gunn has started to put his imprint now with the Creature Commandos animated series on HBO Max. This is the cover to Weird War Tales 117 from 1982 by Rich Buckler and Romeo Tanghal. This has the original line up of creatures including a Frankenstein, a Medusa, A Wolfman, and a Dracula as they fight in WWII. The issue also featured a backup tale with GI Robot. Strange and offbeat stories just when you thought the war genre couldn't have anything new to offer.

If you don't see another post from me this year (even through there will probably be a few), Have yourself a Merry Christmas from myself and the Crotch Goblin! And also look out for some OAX 2025 freebies!

Goblin ball, Goblin ball, Goblin balls crotch
Goblin balls swing and Goblin balls ring
Snowin' and itchin' with tinsel of fun
Now the Goblin Crotch has begun
Goblin ball, Goblin ball, Goblin balls crotch
Juggle balls chime it's juggle balls time
Dancin' and prancin' in nipple bows there
Tape the pasties here
What a bright time, it's the right time
To Crotch the night away
Jingle balls time is a swole time
To go Gobblin' up a big horse cane
Giddy-up Goblin Crotch, pick up your feet
Tingle around your crotch
Mix and a-mingle in the jinglin' feet
That's the jingle Bill Cox

This is like the Monster/War genre's (okay, that's not an actual genre) version of the Action Comics #1 cover! Given that the teaser trailer for Superman was released today, this is the perfect pieceof art to add to your gallery today! Feliz Navidad!

"That's the Jingle Bill Cox," indeed!  Great lyrics as always, Marcus.  Especially chuckled at "Tape the pasties here," and "Tingle around your crotch," haha!!  This is quite the Wartime Monster Mash cover too.  Just love it!  1982 Rich Buckler goodness.  Major congrats, and Merry Christmas!

I read all of the original Creature Commandos stories a few years ago, so this a treat seeing some original art from those books! Buckler and Tanghal were always consistently good artists, and this cover is no exception!

Really great cover! And very timely as usual. Enjoying Creature Commandos so far personally, Weasel's backstory was very emotional/sad. Merry Christmas and happy holidays Marcus!

I love the traditional way of comic cover creation and this has it in spades!  All the wording, pasted on top, etc... Love it!  I only have one such older piece created in this older traditional way.  I will be posting it soon.
