Throwback Tuesday takes us back 75 years to the 1950 thriller featuring Humphrey Bogart as the temperamental screenwriter Dixon Steele who local police wrongly believe is responsible for the murder of a young cocktail waitress (Martha Stewart) which leads to continued harassment, although the events of that night do introduce him to his lovely neighbor Laurel (Gloria Grahame) and the beginning of a love affair. Despite the amount of time spent on its aftermath, including a memorable scene in the police station where Dix is first questioned, it’s actually little more than an unusual setup to our two leads together.

All-New Spider-Gwen: The Ghost Spider #1

/ / Comics

Returning with a pretty long title, Gwen Stacy returns. Despite the character’s relatively young timeline, she’s gone through quite a bit of changes since first appearing just over 10 years ago. The new comic resets Gwen, setting up both her and her dad in the main Marvel Universe with Gwen having used a Cosmic Cube to fix a few issues (such as returning her spider-powers).

  • Comic Vine: link

An oversized issue celebrating Batman, Detective Comics #1100 includes four separate stories from four separate creative teams. The opening silent story presented without dialogue (and featuring the Dark Knight Detective’s use of sign language), “Lost & Found,” features Batman coming across a hearing-impaired kid and helping him find his missing dog (with a little help from Ace the Bat-Hound) taken by some gangbangers. A terrific tale from writer Tom Taylor and artist Mikel Janín, it’s the standout story and is worth the price of the issue all on its own.
