I...just...

So I've been trying to determine which Nightwing comics are the best for helping lure taylorgibbs into the hawtness that is Dick Grayson and the Batfamily.  It's a LOT of canon so I was trying to figure out a good point.  I thought the mini that came out in the mid-90s would be a good starting point and wouldn't be too confusing.

My problem is, how do I sell someone on the hawtness and awesomeness of Dick Grayson when the first page of the second issue is this...



Okay, sure.  There's a whole boatload of "context is for the weak" going on there, but the FOREARMS and HAIR!!!  I feel that Greg Land owes me one new brain scrubber.

There's a reason that I'd blocked a lot of 90s comics from my brain, isn't there?

Oh My God, that is epic. I wouldn't have known it was Dick if you hadn't said so. For a moment I thought, "Did Liefeld draw that?", but then I saw the feet and new it couldn't be him. LOL.

AND GREG LAND! It's GREG LAND!!!!!

I thought Liefeld the first thing when I saw it too just with the amount of muscles. :)

The whole thing is hilarious and great to look back at, but scary for an introduction.

OMFG. LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!

Oh Land. So not only does he draw horribly disproportioned women, he draws terrifying looking men. UGH. Eye bleach please. XD

How in the hell did Dick score looking like that???

It's the magical land of DC comics... that's all I can attribute it to, because damn that's ugly.

Freakishly hairy forearms AND a mullet.

Does the artist HATE this guy?

Yoiks.

[webbgirl]

For comic book artists in the 90s, tough guy meant a mullet and some sort of glandular issue that gave them Popeye arms.

Oh god those forearms *runs screaming*. And I never would have taken Dick for a harry high pants. o.O

[webbgirl]

The whole thing is just wrong on so many levels.

[tropicsbear]

LOL! Good thing I don't scare away easily ;)

If that pic doesn't scare you away, nothing will. :)
