What the actual fuck was his problem?

Kovacs was fucked from the start, his vigilantism was just a result of his craziness.
batman saw this and put rorscach 2 in Arkham

Fletcher Hanks abused his wife and son and drank all their money before one day walking out with whatever cash the house had at the time, never seeing them again. His wife reportedly considered the theft a bargain to get him away from the family.

I'm tempted to say that Stardust's absolutely bullshit power level was a power fantasy for Hanks, but realistically it was probably an attempt to copy the success of Superman, who also basically never faced challenges in his early stories. The bizarre, cruel punishments for its villains, though, was probably Hanks challenging his anger or frustrations. It's worth noting that not *all* of Stardust's stories include stuff like , so it probably was the result of Hanks being in a particular mood.

Hanks was a bastard I think stardust could be a reflection of his twisted sense of justice with a child like view of evil I was suprised to learn how pathetic the bastard really was he died homeless frozen to death on a New York bench a shitty death for a shitty person

Alan Moore has a stardust reference in one of the League books where he describes this very scene. In League canon Stardust ended up being defeated by one of his own machines

It was very mean-spirited, too. A cheap swipe at its author. Tasteless.

>they are immediately enveloped in a stardust flash
Wait, does that mean Stardust actively did something that causes the head to be absorbed by the giant body? I am confuse.

It's odd how often characters' face are not in view in this comic. Often turned just enough to not be visible. I guess it was easier to draw?

Stardust is so clearly the product of a twisted, sadistic mind. It's great, I love it. He's like Punisher if he had god-like powers. But actually no, Frank mostly just wants to see criminals dead, I don't think he would be this creative in making new ways to cause suffering. Stardust doesn't want criminals dead, he usually ends up leaving them in some state where they will be tortured for eternity.

Honestly my dudes the man was indeed a jackass, but judging from his work and all the crazyness in his life, he was probably a schizophrenic or something like that that never got diagnosed.
These comics read like very outsider art, but since it's being read as some z-list golden age comic, we all kind of expect the insanity and the cheap-ish art.

Stardust belongs in the sourcewall

Frank fucking Castle would be appalled by the shit Stardust does, or at least suggest more worthy targets for the fucked up shit.

Huh you learn something everyday, in my head, Mr. A always looked like editorial fucked Ditko over in his Question so he did a not-the-Question character to tell the stories he wanted to.

Not really. Stardust is just someone with no sense of proportion or personal consequences. He's a superwizard who is presumably indestructible, immortal, and has no near peers in ability or intellect.
Any idea he has of how the justice system works is bound to have been bent out of shape by millennia of isolation, should he have one at all. IIRC he has no canon past explaining how he got all his shit. For all we know he's the only survivor of a precursor race who finished science and then died-all except him.
Like imagine if you were an epic level wizard IRL. You could do practically anything you wanted whenever you wanted and nobody could stop you: The only limit to your powers being how much your sanity slipped as time passed. And that's exactly what happened. Stardust went mad and occupies himself by playing crime-fighter like people play video games. He has increasingly fucked-up ways of disposing of criminals because things like sending people to prison or merely killing them just get boring the billionth time.

That's a nice retcon but you're assuming the author meant for the character to seem insane and had a logical reason for why he became that way. More likely Hanks had a tenuous grasp on sanity and morality himself and the character was just a reflection of that.

Fletcher Hanks was an alcoholic who beat his kids bad (even by 1940s standards).

He died frozen to a bench in Central Park.

>Their look on their faces

The guys Stardust goes after get up to some pretty horrible shit. Like my man De Structo over here Caused some kind of horrible, gigantic tidal wave killing most of the eastern Seaboard or some bullshit.

Some say he's still there, frozen to that park bench. A frozen spacite, able to see and think, but always motionless! In his frozen condition he'll live forever - to think about his crimes!

I dunno, man. People are known for doing or writing fucked up shit in fiction they'd allegedly never do IRL. Maybe Hanks just decided 'fuck this, I'll write whatever I want so long as it sells'.
You're probably right, given how much the theme of incredibly disproportionate 'justice' comes up in his other works, but we live in a world where a billionaire orphan dressed up in a bat costume sells like hotcakes no matter what he does. It's patently absurd but it just works. The horrifying implications of things like Arkham Asylum's revolving doors and whatever the fuck Clayface turned into are secondary to the show that is Batman.

I don't think any crime deserves an eternal punishment, just put him out of his misery.

I own the original two Fantagraphics volumes (the second coming from a library (thanks, Amazon)), but I'd switch those out in a heartbeat for the newer single-volume release.

I can't find a link but I'm currently watching IASIP on my other monitor and reading your description of Batman while Charlie says "wait, he's just a guy dressed as a bat? That can't possibly what all those movies are about" has taken me to comedy levels I never knew I could reach, specially with something I've watched a million times.

This is horrifying, but I can't help but laugh at the fact that the ice prison is just a normal brick building, just floating in ice with big icicles dangling from it. It's just so childish.

I know Stardust being a 15 foot man with all the powers of God is weird. But the guys he fights are really bizarre too. They are mere Mobsters or war saboteurs yet they somehow all possess super science weapons and seem to think destroying the earth will be their ticket to living richly.

I don't know about that. Stardust is demented, but his targets are pretty much all murderers and innocents pretty much never get caught in the crossfire. Frank probably wouldn't approve of the "flair" but I don't think he'd get in Stardust's way.

IIRC, he was already justified in taking him out. Stardust just wanted a tussle.

"She is ma sis from another miss"

Jokes aside, there really isn't because it pretty much just means you will either die a horrible death, or suffer in eternal restless torment, according to Stardust's mood that day.

My favorite is the guys who reverse gravity so everyone leaves earth while they're chained down and rob banks. You need a Stardust to deal with this.

Asking unironically to Stardust buffs: could he beat Thanos?

Attached: top-anime-fights.gif (500x736, 97K)

Hell yes it is. He did a slightly less demented one where it's a jungle witch on Earth attacking poachers and tribesmen, a largely unremarkable sci fi series, and one about a woodsman who is extremely good at fist fighting. Aside from the inane content, they're really only remarkable in that he did everything himself, the writing, the illustration, and the terrible coloring.

Which one?

with ease

Stardust would absolutely have some kind of bullshit "anti reality ray" on his belt that would counteract any effects of the infinity stones

He basically can beat anyone considering that we don't even have a slightest clue of what his upper limits are

If i remember correctly, he kind of just leaves her in one of his beautiful palaces on some far off world and we never fucking hear about her ever again

Rob is based. Greg Land woukd be MUCH worse.

I need to storytime Fletcher's other excellent work 'big red mcclane'
It's the same shit, but instead of Biblical superhero punishments it's just a big angry lumberjack kicking the absolute shit out of people.

Villains...

I don't really know much about the Infinity Stones/Gauntlet, but almost certainly. Even if Thanos was literally unkillable, Stardust could just carry Thanos out of reality and strand him in the middle of a void where the Infinity Stones don't do anything. And then freeze him in a block of ice or something just for kicks.
Basically Thanos would have to be some sort of extra-dimensional threat that exists outside of the reality of Stardust, and even then it's not like we know the limits of Stardust's power so even then it's a crap shoot.

Fantomah was the first superheroine in history of comics.

I love that Fletcher fucking Hanks of all people has this distinction

Best thing is that Stardust knows exactly what they are doing and could have saved all prior but because Stardust can only punish after the deed he lets them do it so he can punish them.

Hanks was older than the rest of the comics artists. Will Eisner recalls him as a dude who mostly worked and went home. He was better as an artist than all of them, but according to Eisner he was a bit "odd"

Hank's cartoon work is absolute dogshit yeah, no discussion. I bought the hardback omnibus of his work though and it has some of his non-comic art in the beginning. The guy had no real formal training and a shitload of raw talent. Eisner might've clarified that Hanks was a shitty cartoonist struggling to convey normal human emotion, but the man could draw.

The same as that of Captain Marvel

>Beat Thanos
With ease, him can transform it into an ant and crush it or make it immortal only so you can never be with your beloved death while you are imprisoned in an ice prison.

>Thanos with the stones
Stardust will use his superscience and create an anti-infinity beam that will cause the stones to be destroyed and the glove to melt, then beat Thanos in one blow and throw him into the sun

Remember that the paper and printing quality of the time made it impossible to put out art with fine detail in cheap, disposable books like these.

>In 1959, Stardust attempted to force his way into the realm of the Science-Elders, who granted Captain Universe his powers. He eventually fought and was defeated by Captain Universe. Stardust's defeat was due to the fact that he was drunk, stumbling and uncoordinated which allowed Captain Universe to throw him in a chamber of Ice-9, freezing him in his own concoction that he previously trapped his victims. Stardust's headquarters was taken over by Captain Universe, and his frozen body remained there and put on display.

wish that was in the comic.

>Stardust the Super Wizard first appeared in Fantastic Comics (1939), and was created by Fletcher Hanks. Stardust is a superhero in the original comics, but his actions are considered by a modern audience to be very harsh. Stardust's drunkenness and demise is based on the death of Fletcher Hanks, who had frozen to death, penniless and likely drunk in 1976.

Two things wrong with that statement, Stardust is never confirmed to be FROM another planet, he just hangs out in space a bunch, and Superman wasn’t sent to fight crime, he just decided to do that at some point after having grown up on Earth.

"Thanos, you tried to kill millions to preserve ressources. As punishment you'll be transformed into a gigantic grapefruit that will feed millions."

It will also turn out that fruit-Thanos is sentient and regenerates, meaning he continues to scream in pain year after year as millions of people crawl over him and feast themselves.

I wouldn't even say that Stardust was 'aping' Superman. In the 20's and 30's, sci-fi was popular for a time and all manner of heroes were from space or went into space. Buck Rodgers and Flash Gordon are other examples of the fad. The problem isn't the sci-fi elements, but the whole 'they fight crime' angle; which is nothing more than a retarded way to tie in with ANOTHER fad of the era, gangster and G-Men stories. The fact is that it isn't fucking interesting when Luke Skywalker is fighting a bunch of Earth mobsters. Jabba the Hutt? Sure, he's one part mobster, one part Fu Manchu, and one part Barbary Pirate. A lot of elements are unique to that character. Superman fighting some biker gang? That's dull as fuck, we all know who is going to win even if the gang gets their hands on kryptonite or whatever. Now, Superman fighting Lobo the space biker? That's not only interesting, but fun as fuck. This is the problem with Stardust, he is an overpowered space wizard without overpowered villains to match wits with.

And if you are going to pit overpowered vs underpowered, it has to be a villain like Lex Luthor or Xanatos who you almost want to root for because their conflict is Man vs God, and deals with the question of whether regular joe's can even survive in a world with overpowered capes or if it's all just some cosmic horror story minus the tentacles and nigger ancestry.

he was to Chad for anyone to handle

Looking at Hanks' work on its own in 2019 might led you to believe he was a shit artist, but he was above almost every artist from the Golden Age. They used to have very loose linework and would mostly limit themselves to "just draw" things as the scripts demanded, but Hanks would add a sense of weight, strenght, form and physical energy that was seriously lacking in Golden Age comics of the day. Not even Superman had that, it's like the cars he lifted were made out of styrofoam. Stardust choked, punched and really hurt his enemies all the time. The faces might look weird too, but when Golden Age artists just placed a few lines here and there to suggest a face, Hanks' characters had fully rendered expression lines.

Don't forget that Stardust has a unique and memorable style while most Golden Age DC comics kind of melded altogether. Their best stuff is stuff they bought from another company.

Hanks paid for 20 lessons to the W. L. Evans School of Art, where he'd mail in drawings and receive critique on his pieces from Evans. As strange as Stardust, Big Red McLane, Whirlwind Carter, and Fantomah's art was, Hanks did some really solid anatomy compositions and political comics before he became a complete alcoholic.

You guys should pick up a copy of "Turn Loose Our Death Rays and Kill Them All!" if you ever get the chance. It's got a really good biography on his life and a fantastic afterward done by Paul Karasik about the meeting he had with Hanks' son. It went for about $30 on Amazon last I checked.

so who currently owns Stardust? could he ever make a comeback in either cameo or comic?

Might be public domain, so anybody who wants could probably put him in something.

Public domain.

He's in the public domain. Anyone can make anything they want with him and sell it. There's been a bunch of one-shot comics and there's an ongoing webcomic of him and a bunch of other PD capes.

Reminds me a bit of the outsider artist Henry Darger's work, especially with the child soldiers and the surreal poses

It's a cheap shot. "the creator of this character was a drunken shit lol"

You might as well reduce all of Moore's work to "he's a pompous blowhard lol"

I agree that people need to separate the creator from their work, but in Hanks' case his alcoholism did directly affect the quality of his comics.

The way he flies face down is the xreepiest part

Like his humanoid form is just a vessel and sight is unneedes

You can ser by the way he flies that his legs are fucked.

The original Fletcher Hanks comics are in the public domain. That's why he's shown up in LOEG and also some other people's comics.

Batman was a dick to Reggie and now is crying like a bitch for not listening to him.

Nothing new, i remember seeing interviews with him and Gaiman where they basically call Ditko a crazy person for being a moral absolutist.
Like, shit, man, i'm no absolutist, but have you ever heard of "don't shit where you eat"? Ditko and guys like him set up the ground work for modern comics, and it's disrespectful as fuck to just shit all over them.

Ditko kept shitting where he eats because of his moral absolutism. He basically wanted comics like spiderman to be like Mr A. But Mr A sucks as a comic and character. The character is so autistic that he is borderline sociopathic and all. The villains in the comic are basically chaotic evil. Each of them is like O-Dog from menace to society. They take petty shit and level that up into first degree murder just cuz.

>Superman, who also basically never faced challenges in his early stories.
Have you read Golden age Superman though? There were entire issues were he would hardly even throw a punch. The point of Superman wasn't about winning out in a tough fight until much, much later.

Stardust movie when?

Who could or would even direct a StarDust movie that accurately displays the complete surreal insanity of the comic?

So I’ve read through a lot of Hanks work and another weird thing about them is how little development or even solid plot most of them have, everyone has little characterization besides doing extreme actions against their enemies and the plots usually just involve assholes invading, stealing or killing before it ends

I have always maintained in my own headcannon that stardust is actually an ancient being that has grown bored with his unlimited power and wants to just mess with people using his power. Unfortunately he cant just mess with random innocents for some reason. So he secretly "leaks" some of his incredible machines to mobsters (where else do these people get shit that can stop the rotation of the earth) and waits for them to commit some giant crime or at least be in the middle of committing it to stop them. Rather then preventing it from happening like he obviously could so that people know the badguy is "evil". That way he can "punish" the evildoer by doing the crazy shit he wants under the pretense of "justice" and leaves before anyone can question him about all this. When the planet he is currently messing with catches on he just leaves for the next one, with earth being the latest. I'm also sure that the headless headhunter giant is a victim from a previous cycle.

Thanks, that was kino and much more tasteful than Moore's bitter reference. Is it from an actual Spongebob (R) comic?

It is. It was from Spongebob Comics Annual #2.

My headcanon is that he is some really powerful supreme alien being with no grasp on reality.

all the space beams and distant star rays have fried his brain

My headcanon is that he's Cowboy Henk, who on his world went to some kind of community college and took a course on superheroing, then got assigned the Earth seen in the Stardust comics.

Can the Authority defeat or at least contain Stardust? Bear in mind they defeated God, the not avengers and Seth.

Muy headcanon is that he is adultos Johnny Test who got some serious braon damage due to his sisters and the cia experimenting on him.

Well we know that there is a machine that takes away his ability to use rays. Engineer could try to recreate that on a larger scale, then the others fight him while he's ray-less.

The laws of physics as we understand them hold no power over STARDUST, if something he does makes no sense, that's just because he operates under different unknowable laws of physics from a different reality, the reality of STARDUST.

wow so original and funny nobody in the past century has ever made that joke wow haha you should do stand up user

Shazam's origin story had a boy following a very odd man into an abandoned place.

Getting kids or kid characters to show up in comics was a staple of the Golden Age and meant for pandering to their readership as self insert vehicles more than anything else. That's why Robin exists.

True, but the majority of comic book writers aren't as..eccentric as the fellow who made Stardust.

O-of course not. Down with the Fifth Coumn.

He was probably a drunk schizo, moron have a poor grip on reality. Fletcher Hanks had no grip at reality at all.

Good, the only thing worse than racketeering is Fifth Columnist sympathizers in our midst.

I forget, what's it a column of? Is it related to the Islam, or was that something completely different?

People within your country or group who sympathize with the enemy and work against you to support them.

Is there a sixth column? if it exists, is it better or worse than the fifth? Any more columns than that?

>"During the Siege of Madrid in the Spanish Civil War, Nationalist general Emilio Mola told a journalist in 1936 that as his four columns of troops approached Madrid, a "fifth column" (Spanish: Quinta columna) of supporters inside the city would support him and undermine the Republican government from within"

That doesn't mean he was challenged. That's just the reason Superman stood the test of time and Stardust didn't.

>end civilization
WHY!? WHAT DO YOU GAIN FROM IT?
I can understand wanting to get rid of democracy and becoming some sort of dictator, since it benefits you, but civilization isn't something you just get destroy, maybe A civilization, like a specific one, like a foreign country that you don't like, but ending civilization, in general, FOREVER, does nothing for you, or anybody in your group, which as long as it's together, is part of civilization, and if your gang was the only people left in the world, it would still be a civilization until it ends, so why the fuck would anybody follow you?
Also, before anybody says anything about anarchy, that just means no real government, it can still be civilization without a proper government running things.

So, what are you saying? We live in a... society?

It's all just gotta go.

Stardust has infinite plot armor while Thanos doesn't. Like, Thanos uses some items of cosmic power that he has to put in effort to acquire, while Stardust can just pull as many arbitrarily powerful items from his ass as he desires. The only character that could stands a chance against Stardust would be a meta, fourth wall breaking kind, like a hero whose power is to retcon all of the opponent's actions into playing into his ultra complex plan.

I'd rather prefer Stardust to be a live actor, but with SFX to make him uncanny valley (i.e. CGI-stretched to his comic proportions, acting very slowly/very fast with footage then brought to normal speed so his motions are almost natural but slightly off, etc)

I don't think the most remarkable man who ever lived is interested in something as trite as sex. His only passion is racket-busting

And have him speak without moving his mouth.

I'd be surprised if he had sex with her. Earlier in the story, IIRC, he's going to plop her back at home but she insists on sticking with him because her whole family is dead. He probably just forgot she was there and she spent the rest of her life in opulent isolation.

STARDUST being a terrifying entity you can't possibly reason with is the best angle to write for him, he's a monster and should be treated as such.

That's a pretty terrestrial looking star you've got there.
Also, were those vultures actually from Venus? Are they some sort of special vulture, or are they ordinary vultures that just might be from Venus? Or are all vultures from Venus in this story and he;s sending this specific flock (or whatever the group name is) of vultures to Venus?
And is this "Kaos" a man or a woman? I can't tell from the panel that isn't a "worm" (if anything it's more like a caterpillar, but with an ugly "human" face) if that's just a dude with long hair or a blond chick.

Have any pictures of that?

Make it "I'm John Constantine and i consider you a friend"

I think between all the threads I've seen in the last few years, that I've likely seen every Stardust comic made; no one has ever begged for mercy and succeeded or otherwise dissuaded his wrath, have they?

Nope. Once he's set his sights on you there's not a damn thing you can do

the vultures are from venus, can't remember anything about the kaos-chap

Bad news anons! STARDUST is after you and only a character from the last show/game/comic you watched can protect you. How fucked are you?

I don't think so, he barely even acknowledges any attempts to appeal to his mercy, delivering only a single line about his victim having no mercy and therefore receiving none.
He cannot be reasoned with, because he makes no mistakes. All that transpires, does so according to the wishes of STARDUST.

I want a Bohemian Rhapsody styled docu-movie about the comic and Fletcher's life, with some of the comics done up in live action

If he won't listen to reason, I'll just have to speak the universal language.

You don't think there's a pretty big degree of difference between beating the shit out of your wife and kid versus being a pretentious blowhard?

Hanks encountered the real Super Wizard STARDUST and struggled to capture the bizarre being's exploits in comics. The gaps in Hank's life are the times when STARDUST kidnapped him for trips across space, trips Fletcher never asked for nor wanted. The time spent with the maniac wizard drove him to take out his frustrations on his kids before driving him to drink.

That's not the point. Moore reduced an artist's work to his personal failings. It's a cheap shot and meaningless to boot.

The Spongebob Stardust Comic is written by Paul Karasik, the guy who put together the Fletcher Hanks collections and interviewed Hanks' son. R.

Stardust the Super Wizard. The titular, tumultuous-enduing and homicidal maniac millions have come to loath and fear. It's just the way things are going these days. A pocketful of discord always turns a country's head while this smörgåsbord of chaos brings the world to its knees just by giving a wink to the camera.

Goddamn, he didn't need to combine them all into one being but did anyway.

The process of becoming a Super-Wizard stripped Stardust of human emotion, replacing it only with a twisted sense of sadistic justice.

To be fair, if you're going to send them to stalk gangsters, banksters, and facists then giving them super powers is only responsible.

There are too many capes who are written to be millennia old with godlike powers, but still somehow think and act like baseline humans.

I don't get why people say Saitama is an "overpowered character done right." He's humorous at first, but honestly the gag gets old quick.

Does that make Stardust Royalty if he was in K6BD?

Indeed. Perhaps in gaining those god-like powers, he gained awareness that it would unerringly corrupt him as long as a shred of humanity remained.
Perhaps the greatest act of heroism Stardust ever performed was martyring the man he was to kill the monster he'd become... and still wind up doing seriously fucked up stuff regardless.

Even they would fear being in the power of Stardust, because the absolute last thing he'd be trying to do is kill them.

Nope, Fletcher Hanks never changes anyone's facial expression in his comics

There are no prisons, police, judges or juries in that world. There is only Stardust.

Personally I like imperfections like that. It gives the work charm.

I can't tell if a lack of punctuation at the end makes this phrase funnier or even more terrifying

Punctuation implies an ending, unlike your soon to be eternal torment

I just want to say I hate the term outsider art, it is literally just the 'high art' world exploiting crazy people for entertainment

They guy who wrote him was literally mentally insane.

Died drunk homeless on a bench like Poe.

>it is literally just the 'high art' world exploiting crazy people for entertainment
As opposed to exploiting the public via a scheme not unlike the story of the Emperor's New Clothes like they normally do?
>look at this... log
>it's art, because I paid ten thousand dollars for it

>sells log for a million dollars

I'm going to assume only loosely. The Ice-9 in Cat's Cradle is just ice with a higher melting point than normal ice and which converts water into Ice-9 on contact. It's not any tougher than normal ice and, when melted, just turns into ordinary water.

I've never read any comics in which it appears, but I have to assume Alan Moore's version is a more science-fantasy-style concept. Vonnegut's Ice-9 will kill normal people just fine if they ingest it or (presumably) if it touches their mucous membranes, but I'm sure a lot of superheroes could shrug it off or just smash out of it if encased.

Pfft, who cares about that? They'll be rich!

>with an army of futa loli daughterus

Let me guess... the guy had no concept of female genitals?

the art world is literally money laundering for foreign embezzeled drug money to enter the US

possibly.

His creator was a drunkard.

He can uninfinity the stones and smash the gauntlet.

There's a theory that he did not know about female genitalia, but i think that he chose to draw dicks on little girls as a coping mechanism for his own abuse.

A lot of people seem to presume as much, but it seems like Darger was quite a complicated chap with regards to his thoughts about gender - He spent his childhood being abused in a children's home (who knows what shit anyone subjected him to there) and along with his possessions they found a letter someone had written him where they referred to him as "boy", he'd crossed it out and written "girl". Given his reclusion, I suppose we'll never know for sure whether he didn't know, wanted to be the little girl (and that was a way of imagining it) or that he just liked the idea of little girls with dicks.

His story reminds me a bit of Jacko, in a way - A guy whose own childhood was fucked up and who clearly never really managed to get over it, instead fixating on children and childhood itself. There appears to be no suggestion he was a sexual being at all though, his loli-love seems to have been pure, he just subjected his child characters to horrible shit because it had happened to him, but in his stories he could save the children.

Yes I think the concept of 'outsider art' is probably a symptom of the general ridiculousness of the art world

Friendly reminder that the guy putting up the pisspot wanted to be called out on it and people seeing artistic value in it was the opposite of what he wanted.
Everybody copying his concept of 'what is really art?' by throwing together something ugly without passion or skill is making true his worst nightmare.

Keep going.Also I think this is relevant.

Moore taking potshots at a dead guy does seem pretty pointless.

I have no idea what a "padme" is outside the realm of the Star Wars prequels.
Also, what the fuck happened in the bottom two panels?

That's one theory, but IIRC he worked as a janitor in a hospital for a while, so I figure he'd have seen a vagina at some point. There's another theory that it was some esoteric way of showing the female characters were as powerful as males and equally capable of defending their magical kingdom.

Stardust un-uglied that child.

Darger...had a hard life.

>Also, what the fuck happened in the bottom two panels?
Fat little NPC kid turned back into a real boy.

Would Stardust Netflix series be good?

Moore takes a lot of pointless potshots.

Yeah, combining your own history of child abuse with the American Civil War, the Bible and newspaper articles about murdered children will do that.

It's kinda touching how he immortalized a murdered little girl as the leader of a rebellion of children against abusive adults though.

Yes. But only if it’s full on straight faced serious like the comic.

who made this and is there more

I can maybe give him a heart attack by solidifying the oxygen in his blood, assuming he works that way, but I'm probably boned.

I don't think the guy who made this bit understood Stardust at all.

>In 1968, Darger became interested in tracing some of his frustrations back to his childhood and began writing The History of My Life. Spanning eight volumes, the book only spends 206 pages detailing Darger's early life before veering off into 4,672 pages of fiction about a huge twister called "Sweetie Pie", probably based on memories of a tornado he had witnessed in 1908.
fuckin based.

Netflix is too cucked to produced Stardust kino.

But are they strong enough?

>Option 1.
I manage to use my abilities to temporarily slow him down, but ultimately I'm not going to be able to put a dent in him. Demonization is also out.
>OPtion 2.
He recognizes the demonic aura right off the bat and decides that I am a paragon of evil. NOt good. He's then going to have a field day figuring out the best way to screw me over.

Basically I'm fucked.
Fantastic Comics #24 (2008)

I think he's definitley emphasizing the more positive aspects. Not every villain undergoes some eldritch mutation as their punishment. Some are just suspended in the air until the police come by. Stardust can be PG....when he wants to.

Stardust would probably have a ray that erases momentum in an area so Saiyans wouldn’t even be able to punch.

Who names a tornado "Sweetie pie"?

Apparently he had a picture of the girl who got killed, and got so mad at god when he lost it that he made his self insert character switch sides in the war, then later come back when he starts to think that maybe god was just testing his faith.

Moore's a big Vonnegut reader

Well Hanks was no longer involved with the comic long before that point.

>This is the night we're scheduled to bump of the president
But Bill, you were the President.

Probably a lot of illustrations.

I don't quite agree, he is not shown to do or say anything out of character.
However, he is certainly utilized in a different way than we're used to seeing him.
