I was always taken aback on how funny those books were, and by funny I mean in a charming way.

Giffen / DeMatteis JL is my favourite DC book of all time - which probably explains why current DC leaves me so cold. A G'Nort toy would be cool... looks pretty expensive though. Rol’s last blog post..Conversations With M (5)

If he isn’t the DC crown jewel then I would propose that the Scarlet Skier and Mr Nebula would be possibly the only other contenders.

Why haven’t these characters had films made or ongoing comic series? Because DC have them as their ace in the hole. They will produce these characters in their darkest hour, I predict when Iron Man 2 becomes the biggest film in history that we’ll be seeing a G’Nort film!

Is that the Marvel Select Ghost rider figurine? Because that’s a pretty sweet figurine in itself anyway. I got a couple of the movie ones which were good representations of the film version.

The other problem with this is that I don’t think the JLI characters work on their own and I think this is a series of five figurines which adds up!

The cover is pretty cool and I think that this week I will in fact be picking up a Batman and Robin #1 just for curiosity sake. He also did another cover which I didn’t see before writing this (I peeked at the ending) – http://www.thecomicfanatic.com/new%20images/bftcgz1.jpg – I love this if only for the cigarette smoke.

Obscure? Surely Gnort is the jewel in DC's crown? And I always think of him as a member of Justice League Antarctica rather than International. Dan’s last blog post..I can’t believe I’m even going to blog about this

That is a really cool cover! It almost makes me want to read Batman. Almost.

I’m sure somebody would pay $45 for a figurine of an obscure comicbook character, just for comic book geek cred if nothing else.

My wife suprised the heck out of me when she spent a similar amount on a Ghost Rider Action Figure (80’s Jonny Blaze). I prefer the 90’s Dan Ketch GR, but I’ll always treasure this one becouse she was 8 month pregnant when she did the legwork to track this down. I like it so much I’ve got it hanging on a hook in our bedroom. I can send in a photo if you’d like.
