Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly The Non-Legion Comics Trivia Thread Pt 5

^ Haha. So you did. Not sure how I missed that.

Since I’m pretty sure none of us in here were big collectors of romance titles, I’ll give a clue re: that one.

The two word title has two meanings:

1. Something else else that an organ in the body does; and
2. An attractive person.

The final title is not the Spirit. The character is a lot more famous than that. As a clue, I’ll tell you that according to the GCD, the title character has appeared in more than 1100 stories across multiple publishers.

I'm actually fond of the romance covers when Teeds posts them here. All that heartbreak, loss and angst in a single cover.

EDIT: Completely misread Blacula's post. I thought the clues 1 and 2 were for one book each. So ignore the following:-

1. ... sorry... this is going to take a minute... just avoiding all the rude options... right... Spleen Vent Monthly Heartbeat Monthly?
2. All-thoth Monthly Zorro?


And go for :-

Heartthrob Monthly
I'll still try Zorro actually

Q: When DC Comics (then known as National Periodical Publications) bought Quality Comics in the1950s it chose to keep only four of Quality’s ongoing titles running. Which four were they?

1. Blackhawk
2. G.I. Combat
3. Heart Throbs
4.

Zorro is not a bad guess for the final title. Think of someone similar who used to appear regularly in DC stories.

thoth is thinking... in case you were alarmed by the grinding mechanical gear sounds...

Hercules?

Another good guess but incorrect. Zorro was closer.

When I said this character was famous earlier, this is how famous:

Not only has this character featured in a literally countless amount of:

* Plays,
* Books,
* Movies,
* TV series’,
* Operas,
* Songs,
* Video games,
* Strategy games,
* Comic books, and
* Toys,

But they are also:

* The subject of a university course,
* The mascot of a sports team,
* The name of a charity, and
* The name of a tax.

Tarzan?

Oh, good one Ibby. I can't think past the Scarlet Pimpernel and I'm sure that can't be right.

Neither of those two but you’re on the right track in that this is obviously a public domain character.

Ton Sawyer

Robin Hood? thinking on the tax one.

would have been my next guess, because of the taxes too!

"Never mind your entertainment! Give me more on taxes!" - Wayland Bannan to his parents before ending up in Action #387 years later.

Yes! I thought the tax and the charity were the biggest clues.

Robin Hood Tales was the final title.

Back to you TL.

Sigh what possessed me to choose Tom Sawyer over Robin Hood...

Nice guessing hothy!

Ta! I was about to go with King Arthur until that popped into my head. For that to have been right it would have been the "I'll hit you over the head with the pommel of my sword until you give me all your money" tax. Ah Ye Olde Dayes!

New Q shortly-ish.

for a question

Planetary's Jakita Wagner was the daughter of another hero. That hero is a homage to a much more famous character who has also appeared in comics. Who is that famous character?

Doc Savage?

That's the name I was looking for. I kept wanting to say Doctor Bronze for some reason.

Tarzan

It wasn't Doc Savage. He became Doc Brass in Planetary, but it was Tarzan! So over to you Andy!

Sigh ! Oh me and my Planetary collection!

Um, fine, fine ... what was the first verbal cue that Midnighter and the Apollo were a gay couple?

I remember the panel of them kissing... verbal cue... Did someone ask them to get a room after Apollo came back from getting badly beat up and Midnighter fussed over him?

Nope! That was the second one

One of their colleagues asked a very specific question first
