I'm a Nightwing simp first and human second

so in the 2003 Aquaman series they introduce a new backstory for archvillain Black Manta in which the entire reason for his (hyper)fixation on destroying Aquaman's life was severely maltreated autism, which Aquaman then cures him of with his magic water hand to completely redeem him. and this is obviously insanely stupid and ill-conceived and genuinely hateful, but given all of that, this is still one of the funniest speech balloons i've ever read in a comic. me @ myself when i remember how i acted in high school or whatever

Beyond his art, Neal Adams is rightfully remembered as an eternal champion of creators’ rights and for the part he & his work played in the Comics Code revision of ‘71 but his contribution to John Stewart’s creation is – I think –  a rather underrated aspect of his career, especially as it’s such a great reminder of the kind of person he was. Taken from an interview conducted and transcribed by Allen W. Wright over at the Green Arrow: Bold Archer fansite, here’s Neal discussing John’s beginnings (x).

Detective Comics #1111

Dick Grayson that other 5% : hey man we get it you have crippling ptsd bc of the plan that you fucked up and got your wife killed and we all have to sit here and lie to your face about it and tell you it wasn’t your fault when deep down you know you could’ve done something. And it’s even more sad because she had your pathetic excuse of a man self for a husband? Come on man, she must have been a saint if she wasn’t getting something somewhere else because we all know you weren’t… preforming… and she was definitely unsatisfied. Anyway I guess we’ll never know, sorry did I say we? I meant you because I know? Why? Because of the fact I’m not fucking bad enough at my job to get my fucking wife killed? You ever think about trying to be competent? No? Okay? Just a suggestion
