If you've seen the comic database website you'll notice I changed the colors. I got sick of a plain white page, it was too boring. I'm a huge computer science dude, so I love changing my websites.
Anyway, saw some new comic scans posted by project x. They were good scans and it's good someone is looking out for them. The problem with comic scans (and scenes in general) is that if you are not looking in the right place, you will not find scenes. That is especially true of comics in the new millenium. Gas and chloroform are not in the writers' vocabulary. Makes you wonder if editors like Stan Lee actually had a sleeping gas fetish. Perhaps comic artists today secretly like gas, but they are afraid to use it too often. It's a shame really, they could sell more books.


I have a question: is this scene from Birds of Prey #50 a chloro or something else? Boy you can really use your imagination on this one. First saw this on Project X, then recently the Badgirlkos.com webmaster reminded me about this scene (he donated a few nice scans that will be on my next update). ANYWAY, I classify it as a chloroforming. At first it might look like he smothers Black Canary until she runs out of oxygen. Or perhaps his mechanical glove has tiny gas jets that shoot out anesthetic (I've seen this on the Totally Spies cartoon). Maybe the artist actually drew the cloth, but they were like "that's so 1960's, get rid of it!" I guess this scene causes the definition of "chloroform" to changes to: if a hand is over her mouth and it causes her to pass out it's a chloroform scene, cloth or no cloth (the exception is gas mask KOs). Java could have dipped his hand in a bottle of chloroform. I mean anything is possible with this scene.
