"Yesterday's" Comic> Blue Beetle #30 (last of the Holyoke run)
BW's "Yesterday's" Comic> Blue Beetle #30 (last of the Holyoke run)
As Dan drove back to Fox Features he “accidentally” left Spunky behind. I wish. The Blue Beetle #30 Holyoke Publishing (February, 1944) This is the end of the Holyoke period of Blue Beetle comics. I did a look ahead into the Fox run and only saw Spunky show up once but the Grand Comic Database didn’t call it his final appearance. Still, it means I get a few issues without him. There’s also a…

[ID: A picture of a Cat-Man comic, with a yellow background, showing Cat-Man, a buff man with red boots and a red and orange leotard, with a red cape, and a red mask that covers all but his nose and mouth. There is other text that is hard to read in such small, low quality print. End ID.] Today's Public Domain Character: Cat-Man
Cat-Man is a character that was sort of popular in the 1940s, an obvious attempt to capture the same feeling as Bat-Man. Cat-Man was raised by a Tiger and therefore has some abnormal abilities like climbing, leaping great lengths, seeing in the dark and also he has 9 lives like all cats. The spirit of his mother can revive him.
His civilian persona of David Merryweather is a private detective and he goes into his Cat-Man persona when things get too heated. He had a kid sidekick, a young girl named Katie Conn who went by the name The Kitten. Eventually the company Holyoke went bankrupt and the character has since gone into the public domain.
There was a truly baffling run by AC Comics in the 1980s which had a gross premise of Katie getting one of his lives but as a result her body becoming an adult but her mind is that of an 11 year old but eventually she ages mentally and then her and Cat-Man marry,its gross and like really uncomfortable and has not aged well at all.
DC Comics has used Cat-Man in some of their Bat-Man stories and he is sometimes used as a stand-in parody for Bat-Man such as in the Fairly Godparents. I think Cat-Man would make a good substitute if you want to publish Bat-Man type stories or just explore a really neat comic book character.

Blue Beetle (Vol. 5 ) #2 (August, 1967).
This was Charlton's fourth go at the Blue Beetle character, after acquiring him from Fox/Holyoke in the mid-1950s.
Originally Charlton had published Blue Beetle reprints in 1955. These featured the original Dan Garret Blue Beetle. Garret was a police officer who wore a chainmail costume and took a special vitamin that gave him "super energy" (the 1940s version of meth).
In 1964 Charlton revamped the character. Now he was Dan Garrett, archaeologist and university professor who gained Superman-like powers after coming into possession of a mystical scarab. He was given his own book, which lasted a whopping 5 issues.
Three months later Charlton gave the super-powered Blue Beetle another shot. He again lasted 5 issues before being abandoned.
Eight months later, artist Steve Ditto revamped the character yet again as a back-up feature in Captain Atom. Now the Blue Beetle was a non-powered, acrobatic scientist named Ted Kord, a former student of the now dead Dan Garrett.
Ted proved popular enough that he graduated into his own self-titled book. Three guesses how many issues it lasted.
The issue pictured above finally revealed the origin of Ted Kord as the Blue Beetle, as well as revealing the fate of Dan Garrett. Dan is presumed dead, but Ditko leaves enough doubt that I wonder if he was leaving the door open for Dan to return had the book lasted long enough.
DC Comics acquired Blue Beetle, along with the rest of Charlton's superheroes, in 1983. In 1986 Ted Kord's Blue Beetle got his own book again. The creative team, writer Len Wein and artist Paris Cullins, revisited the Dan Garrett story and revealed his final fate.

So there are some bloggers on here who have talked about Danneel and her dabbling into things like tarot, witchcraft, potentially black magic, things like that. It seems that Genevieve, Jared's wife is also doing the same thing. This reflects both in direct statements she's made in some recent posts and also implied in her taste of books and other things she's posted and discussed in her IG stories. Just thought this would be a fun fact part two to the post I made regarding Danneel and her having the Rider Waite tarot hanging on her wall in their now former home that was featured on AD. Disclosure: To be clear, I'm not against witchcraft, tarot or any of these things, as I myself have dabbled into spell work and such in the past and obviously do a lot of work with deities, divination, tarot, etc. I do hope however Gen does not or has not dabbled into the black magic side of things.

This IG post is dated Jan 7, 2022. The books I circled here is The All Souls Trilogy by Deborah Harkness. The books included in this trilogy are titled A Discovery of Witches, Shadow of Night, and The Book of Life. This trilogy was also seen in another post from March 8, 2023 and again in a couple other posts prior to that. Despite the fact that the author Deborah Harkness happens to be a historian who has published scholarly articles relating to women and medical practicing in early London, and discusses European history and science at the University of Southern California, I'm slightly surprised Deborah did not make an honorable mention on this post about Women's History month. Funnily enough, according to one reviewer for A Discovery of Witches, there was plenty of discussion about spells and enchantments. One book reviewer said on the goodreads.com site for A Discovery of Witches: "With so much discussion of spells and enchantment, I wouldn't be surprised if the book put a spell on me". This same reviewer also goes on to say "I think the author, in order to differentiate her witch/vampire/supernatural book from all the other supernatural books on the shelves, threw in everything, including the kitchen sink, into her novel."
The author's description for this same book trilogy on Amazon reads as: "Deborah Harkness is a #1 New York Times bestselling author who draws on her expertise as an historian of science, medicine, and the history of the book to create rich narratives steeped in magical realism, historical curiosity, and deeply human questions about what it is that makes us who we are. The first book in Harkness’s beloved All Souls series, A Discovery of Witches, was an instant New York Times bestseller and the series has since expanded with the addition of subsequent NYT bestsellers, Shadow of Night (2012), The Book of Life (2014), and Time’s Convert (2018), as well as the companion reader, The World of All Souls. The All Souls series has been translated in thirty-eight languages. The popular television adaptation of A Discovery of Witches, starring Teresa Palmer and Matthew Goode, was released in 2019 by Sky/Sundance Now, and also broadcast on AMC.
Having spent more than a quarter of a century as a student and scholar of history, Harkness holds degrees from Mount Holyoke College, Northwestern University, and the University of California at Davis. She is currently a professor at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, where she teaches European history and the history of science. Harkness has published scholarly articles on topics such as the influence of theatrical conventions on the occult sciences, scientific households, female medical practice in early modern London, medical curiosity, and the influence of accounting practices on scientific record keeping. She has received Fulbright, Guggenheim, and National Humanities Center fellowships, and her most recent scholarly work is The Jewel House: Elizabethan London and the" (yes it does stop right there with an incomplete thought ha ha).

This story is under her Book Club saved stories. I don't know the exact date but it seems it was made the week of June 10, 2022. The Google preview for this book's description from simonteen.com is as follows: "The Last Magician meets The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy in this thrilling and atmospheric historical fantasy following a young woman who discovers she has magical powers and is thrust into a battle between witches and wizards."
The author's About page on Amazon.com states: "Sasha Peyton Smith grew up in the mountains of Utah surrounded by siblings, books, and one very old cat. She attended the University of Utah and the George Washington University where she studied biology and public health. She is not a witch, though she does own a lot of crystals and always knows what phase the moon is in. She lives in Washington D.C. with her partner and collection of porcelain hands. The Witch Haven, an instant New York Times best seller, is her debut novel. The Witch Hunt, the sequel to The Witch Haven, publishes October 11th, 2022". Hmm, similar to Gen perhaps?
Tumblr media
This story was on her Instagram profile on Oct 1, 2023. I didn't click on the story at the time as I was at work but it is interesting and ties into at least keeping track of moon phases like the author Sasha does as aforementioned above. I can't seem to find the screenshot of this but I believe around this same time period Gen posted a photo of a crystal by the bathtub and implied using crystals in the bathtub. Hmm...
Tumblr media
This post was made on Oct 5, 2023 on Twitter and on Instagram Oct 3, 2023. The Twitter post has an interesting description written by Gen saying "They say @breanne_randall’s debut novel “The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak & Magic” is like #GirlmoreGirls meets “Practical Magic.” As someone who loves magic (🙋🏻‍♀️) & someone who might know a thing or two about Gilmore Girls (🙋🏼‍♂️ @jarpad)… 1/3"
The book is titled "The Unfortunate Side Effects of Heartbreak and Magic" by Breanne Randall. The Amazon.com description of her states: "Breanne Randall is a freelance writer by trade and an author by vocation. She graduated with honors with degrees in English Literature, Psychology, and Religious Studies, and her articles have been published in national magazines such as Parents, Fit Pregnancy, Good Housekeeping, Family Circle et al. as well as regular contributions to sites such as Disney Family, SheKnows, Bustle, et al. A seasoned traveler, she imbues her stories with the magic and culture collected from the over forty countries she’s visited.
Breanne lives in the sleepy foothills of Northern California with her husband, two daughters, and a slew of farm animals. When she’s not writing, you can find her wandering the property searching for fairy portals or serving elaborate stuffed animal tea parties."
The book's description on Goodreads.com reads as: "Sadie Revelare has always believed that the curse of four heartbreaks that accompanies her magic would be worth the price. But when her grandmother is diagnosed with cancer with only weeks to live, and her first heartbreak, Jake McNealy, returns to town after a decade, her carefully structured life begins to unravel.
With the news of their grandmother's impending death, Sadie's estranged twin brother Seth returns to town, bringing with him deeply buried family secrets that threaten to tear Sadie's world apart. Their grandmother has been the backbone of the family for generations, and with her death, Sadie isn't sure she'll have the strength to keep the family, and her magic, together.
As feelings for Jake begin to rekindle, and her grandmother growing sicker by the day, Sadie faces the last of her heartbreaks, and she has to decide: is love more important than magic?"
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Interestingly enough, Gen made her Instagram post about this book the day before Danneel and Hilarie had their book talk about Hilarie's book Grimoire Girl on the 4th in Barnes and Noble Tribeca in NYC, and the Twitter post the day after.
Saved the best for last... Gen in this story on Oct 23, 2023 (which was actually my 33rd birthday and I picked a white shirt with black stripes I barely wear as a nudge oddly enough ha ha) talks about parasite cleansing under the full moon and also mentions doing "witchy things" in this post.

A former city councillor and member of the Massachusetts national guard who is wanted in the US on child sexual abuse image charges has fled the country and joined the Russian army fighting in Ukraine.
Wilmer Puello-Mota, 28, former city councillor of Holyoke, Massachusetts, went missing on 7 January, two days before he was scheduled to appear in court in Rhode Island in possession of child sexual abuse images and obstruction of justice charges.
This week, Puello-Mota resurfaced at an enlistment centre in the Russian region of Khanty-Mansiysk in western Siberia, where he was captured on film signing a military contract, seated in a room adorned with photographs of Vladimir Putin and the defence minister, Sergei Shoigu
“An American signed a military contract at the patriots centre in Khanty-Mansiysk,” reads a message accompanying the video published by the region’s official channel on Telegram.
Prior to signing the contract with the Russian military, Puello-Mota appears to have fought as a volunteer alongside Russian troops during Moscow’s capture of the Ukrainian town of Avdiivka in February.
That month, Russian pro-war channels circulated footage of a blurred figure in combat fatigues planting the US flag in the ruins of a Ukrainian city in support of Russia.
“I’m here to plant the US flag as a sign of friendship and support for all the things people are enduring here,” the person in the video said, his face blurred.
“I feel proud to be here.”
The Massachusetts-based newspaper the Republican said that people who know Puello-Mota had recognised his voice in the clip.
Appearing to confirm his participation in the battle for Avdiivka, Puello-Mota in the clip on Wednesday described previously fighting in Ukraine as part of the pro-Russian Pyatnashka international paramilitary group.
“I definitely would do it again,” he is heard saying.
Puello-Mota was first arrested in 2020 after police in Rhode Island discovered sexually explicit images of an underage girl on his phone. According to court documents, he told police that he thought the girl was 22, and only learned later that she was 17.
He was later charged with forgery, counterfeiting and obstruction of the judicial system after he allegedly told one of his commanders at the Massachusetts Air National Guard that the child sexual abuse image charges in Rhode Island were fake.
Puello-Mota is a former member of the 104th Fighter Wing of the Massachusetts Air National Guard, according to the US regional Masslive outlet.
After failing to attend his court hearing, the Rhode Island attorney general’s office issued a statement saying Puello-Mota boarded a Turkish Airlines flight to Istanbul on 7 January.
“His whereabouts from that location are unknown,” the court said at the time.
Puello-Mota did not respond to a request for comment.
His Facebook page now features a picture of Puello-Mota in full military gear operating a drone while he lists his current job as the Russian defence ministry.
Since the start of the war in Ukraine, Russia has introduced a series of laws to lure foreign citizens to join its ranks. Nationals from Cuba, Syria, Nepal and Serbia have all been deployed on the Russian side of the war.
But it is rare for fighters from the EU, UK or the US to join the Russian army. At least two British men are believed to be fighting with Russian forces in Ukraine.
Pro-war bloggers close to the Russian military and state media on Thursday made no mention of Puello-Mota’s fugitive status in the US, instead spinning his defection as a PR coup for Moscow.
“Will served in the US armed forces, but after realising what was really happening in Ukraine, he joined the war as a volunteer a few months ago. Together with the Russian guys, he liberated Avdeevka shoulder to shoulder,” the prominent pro-war blogger Yuri Kotenok wrote on telegram.
Another Russian report said: “[Puello-Mota] is staunchly convinced of the need to support Russia and admires the tenacity and heroism of our soldiers.”

She knew she was “different,” telling her brother at one point, “What makes a few of us so different from others? It’s a question I often ask myself.”
She wrote:
“If I can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.”
She was born on December 10, 1830. She was labeled very, very shy, overly sensitive.
“Her Victorian upbringing included . . . doing domestic chores, and attending church. She spent her adolescent years studying locally at the Amherst Academy (1834–47) and at the Mount Holyoke Seminary (1847–48). Beginning at age 23, however, [she] began to withdraw from society and by the age of thirty, she became a relative recluse, spending most of her days indoors,” according to the Brooklyn Museum.
Some would say she became reclusive due either to her upbringing or from suffering from some type of illness such as agoraphobia (a disorder characterized by symptoms of anxiety in which the person afflicted perceives environments outside of the home to be uncomfortable or unsafe) or epilepsy. She was actually diagnosed during her lifetime as having "nervous prostration."
Although she had a brother and sister, she confided that her only companions were the hills, "the sundown, and a dog large as myself, that my father bought me. They are better than beings because they know, but do not tell."
There were rumors, however, that she may have loved her sister-in-law.
Many have also said she was preoccupied with death and dying, telling stories of the many people close to her who either left her or died. She would go through depressions, especially after the death of someone close, lamenting, "The Dyings have been too deep for me, and before I could raise my Heart from one, another has come."
In those instances, she would simply retreat to her room and disappear in her own little world.
No one knew what she was doing, some said she would sit for hours just writing in her notebook, about what, no one really knew.
When she finally died unknown to the rest of the world, of illness at the age of 55, at her request, her "coffin [was] not driven but carried through fields of buttercups."
Her sister had promised her she would burn all her correspondence, but she discovered a locked chest full of notebooks with nearly eighteen hundred poems. To honor her, her sister put a collection together and published the poems, one of which read:
“'Hope' is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -
I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me."

“Shy but rebellious, recluse but unapologetic and independent – she was Emily Dickinson,” wrote Rudrani Gupta in She The People.

“Throughout the nineteenth century, the nation obsessed over male authors like they were rockstars. Men like Poe, Thoreau, and Hawthorne were often seen as brooding, conflicted, and emotionally damaged,” wrote Allie Little. “They played up a persona of living separate from society or suffering for the sake of their writing. At the same time, the United States had a handful of women authors being published and spread throughout the nation, but they weren’t often granted the fame and acclaim their male counterparts were. Famous American poet Emily Dickinson wrote actively during this time period, but the world never knew of her talent.”
“Emily Dickinson is considered one of the most famous poets in the history of American literature,” according to the Brooklyn Museum. “Though socially shy, she was outspoken and emotional in her lyric poetry (short poems with one speaker who expresses thought and feeling), defying the nineteenth-century expectation that women were to be demure and obedient to men. Her honest and uninhibited writing made her an early feminist voice, even as she maintained an outward appearance of submissiveness. Nearly two centuries after Dickinson’s birth, her witty and frequently subversive poems are widely read, taught, and studied.”
Little wrote:
“Being from an influential family, Emily and her siblings, Austin and Lavinia, were taught to prioritize education. Emily excelled as a student at Amherst Academy, and often attended lectures at Amherst College despite women not being allowed to enroll. As seen in her poetry, her brain absorbed information like a sponge. Her areas of interest included chemistry, botany, entomology, astronomy, and various other natural sciences. It was this study of the natural world that helped Emily put into words specific emotions that were difficult to explain in poetry.
“It was after her time in the Seminary that her reclusive habits grew. Leaving Mt. Holyoke marked the end of her formal schooling. Despite her desire to continue her education, this was the time in many young girls’ lives that they would find a husband and take on the role of housewife and mother. Meanwhile, in a letter to a friend, Emily wrote, “God keep me from what they call households.” Clearly not the housewife-type, Emily Dickinson never sought the attention of a man and had seemingly no desire to leave her father’s home to become a maid in another. Instead, Emily spent her time being a mediator and confidant for her siblings and parents.”
“Busy about the house and garden, she began to write verse. The narrow boundaries of “woman’s sphere” were deadly limitations for many women,” according to the National Women’s Hall of Fame.
“Somehow Dickinson found within herself the imaginative resources to exceed and shatter such boundaries. Although untaught and virtually unpublished during her lifetime, she became one of the greatest poets in the English language.”
“The world would not realize Dickinson’s true artistic talent until after her death,” according to the Brooklyn Museum. “After her death in 1886, her sister Lavinia uncovered almost a thousand of Dickinson’s poems bound with thread into numerous booklets.”
“Emily Dickinson died at the age of 55 in the same house she was raised in,” wrote Little. “At the time of her death, only seven of the nearly 1,800 poems she wrote in her lifetime had been published, and all of them were published anonymously. Few people in her hometown of Amherst, Massachusetts knew what she looked like, and her talent for poetry was whispered around town like a local legend rather than applauded and praised.”
~~~~~
Gupta writes:
“This American poet’s poems and distinct lifestyle as a woman embodied feminism at the time when it was still beginning to gain momentum. The most important characteristic of her poems and personal life was the affirmation of a woman’s identity, independence and agency over her life.
“Emily Dickinson was born in a family where the father was the patriarchal figure and women were expected to be confined to the kitchens. The gender roles were divided between men and women – men occupying the financial space while women were confined within marriage, religion, motherhood and domestic work.
“But what made Emily Dickinson defiant was her agency over her life, the right to have privacy and her vigour to challenge the dominant and regressive ideologies. She is known for living a recluse life, within her parental home, writing and challenging the social norms through her radical poems. She had privacy in her life which is a privilege for many women even today because a woman who is in love with seclusion or her own company will never allow any power to govern her life. How many women can opt to stay at her parents’ house, unmarried, throughout her life? How many women have the freedom even to choose not to marry and spend life in her own room drowned in her thoughts and passion?
“Emily Dickinson valued individuality and personal space which a woman in her time and even today are expected to sacrifice if she wants to get married and live a life of significance.
“She changed the definition of a loner woman, which has nothing to do with insufficiency to get married but to assert your territory and choices and be a true rebel.”

Emily Dickinson
Emily Elizabeth Dickinson (December 10, 1830 – May 15, 1886) was an American poet. Little known during her life, she has since been regarded as one of the most important figures in American poetry. Dickinson was born in Amherst, Massachusetts, into a prominent family with strong ties to its community. After studying at the Amherst Academy for seven years in her youth, she briefly attended the Mount Holyoke Female Seminary before returning to her family's home in Amherst. Evidence suggests that Dickinson lived much of her life in isolation. Considered an eccentric by locals, she developed a penchant for white clothing and was known for her reluctance to greet guests or, later in life, even to leave her bedroom. Dickinson never married, and most friendships between her and others depended entirely upon correspondence.
While Dickinson was a prolific writer, her only publications during her lifetime were 10 of her nearly 1,800 poems and one letter. The poems published then were usually edited significantly to fit conventional poetic rules. Her poems were unique for her era; they contain short lines, typically lack titles, and often use slant rhyme as well as unconventional capitalization and punctuation. Many of her poems deal with themes of death and immortality, two recurring topics in letters to her friends, and also explore aesthetics, society, nature, and spirituality.
Although Dickinson's acquaintances were most likely aware of her writing, it was not until after her death in 1886—when Lavinia, Dickinson's younger sister, discovered her cache of poems—that her work became public. Her first collection of poetry was published in 1890 by personal acquaintances Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Mabel Loomis Todd, though both heavily edited the content. A complete collection of her poetry became available for the first time when scholar Thomas H. Johnson published The Poems of Emily Dickinson in 1955.
