So I was at a swap meet the other day looking at various baubles and trinkets, when something caught my eye. It was a chest full of old dusty, tattered comics that one of the vendors was selling. I rifled through countless old issues of X-Men and Spiderman, only to find a very peculiar comic series that I never even knew existed. Evidently, DC Comics ran a very short lived series in the early 70’s called Betaman. It was about a sensitive superhero who, instead of fighting criminals, stood up for women’s rights. Needless to say, I had to buy all 6 issues that he had in his possession. I’ve scanned a few pages in order to post them here. They’re fairly bizarre to say the least. Maybe I’ll get around to posting more of these in the future.

Hopefully this series gets picked up for a big-budget theatrical adaptation. I think in today’s climate, it could prove to be quite successful.
