I got curious about the Darna film that was advertised in the comic. It did come out, in 1951, but then got lost. As far as I can tell, all that's left is 40 minutes of the film, which some journalists discovered in Thailand, in 2005.
Here's 30 seconds of clips from the movie. Looks like the movie followed the comic quite closely.

According to this article, Cristina Aragon, the actress who played Valentina, wore a headdress of live snakes! Yikes.

The second one's not bad, though the horse's legs are ... interesting.
I honestly don't have the patience to talk an AI through creating an image. It's almost less effort to learn how to draw.  |

Hi guys, it's been a while as I've been working a lot. I dropped by to read Tim Holt 36. In this edition Rex Fury allows himself to be drugged by having his coffee spiked. The drug stops him from enforcing the law. It was a fun read but I did feel the storyline was a bit silly even by the standards of the age.
Anyway, inspired by the fizzfop youtube channel again, I tried to get AI to reimagine the GA Ghost Rider. Unfortunately, even when given specific prompts and negative prompts, every AI engine wants to believe that the Nicholas Cage style Ghost Rider was, and is, the original. I had to be very clear about the style to get a response that even remotely resembles the Rex Fury version. I prefer the second one but the original is still best.   |

And don't forget AAU Shuperstar.
For a 1970s comic ad hero I don't think he left a single opponent alive. I found it amusing that a character with Golden Age standards was appearing in Bronze Age comics. |

Above-average funny animal book with appealing, goofy art by the colorful and mysterious Ellis "Holly" Chambers, who apparently shared a studio with Howie Post in the '40s. More about Chambers here:
