DRIVEWAY CON 2014: PART TWO

We continue the Driveway Con 2014 report with the answers to the trivia questions I asked at the garage sale and posted yesterday:

Complete this Black Lightning poem fragment:
“Justice, like lightning, should ever appear
“To some men hope and to other men ....!”

B) fear

What was the first comic-book story Tony Isabella wrote for Marvel Comics?

A) Haunt and Run!

C) Twas the Night Before Kwanza

ADDENDUM: It appeared in DCU Holiday Bash II [1998].

What super-villain did Tony name after a comic-strip character?

B) Kite-Man

ADDENDUM: If you somehow missed the classic Hawkman #4 [November, 1986], I gave a civilian identity to the formerly unnamed Kite-Man. Bill Finger created this rather feeble villain in the 1960s. Kite-Man appeared once more in the 1970s before I used him in my Hawkman series. His civilian identity? Charles Brown. I mean, how could it not be Charles Brown?

When Genma Saotome is splashed with cold water, he transforms into a...

A) giant panda

Which of these was NOT a comic-book title?

B) Outlaw Annie

ADDENDUM: When I first wrote the question, the incorrect choice was Nellie the Nurse. Until I remembered that Marvel has published such a title along with Millie the Model, Sherry the Showgirl and Tessie the Typist. If this trend ever comes around again, I have already written  proposals for Becky the Brain Surgeon, Dana the Designer, Pauline the Producer and Caitlyn the CEO. Four sisters who are doing it for themselves. Hilarity will ensue.   

Which of these was NOT an Archie title?

B) Archie Meets the Ghostbusters

I’ll be back before you know it with the rest of the “garage con” strips by Tom Batiuk and the finale of my Driveway Con 2014 report.
