Wallace & Gromit and Spider-Man

 

I was very happy to see that Wallace & Gromit have a new movie coming out for Christmas this year - Vengeance Most Foul.  Even better, it will feature the return of their nemesis from The Wrong Trousers - Feathers McGraw.  I can't wait to watch it.

  4. Brilliant!

    I did a quick scan of your covers to find out if you'd ever paired Grommet and Krypto - only to find that the loyal pooch is only listed as part of the Wallace & duo. Still, it looks like not so how about it?

    But at least I did get a very entertaining handful of covers. Including a looming Feathers McGraw. How about Feathers meets Doctor Doom? Or Darth Vader?

  5. Wallace & Gromit and Spidey? Oh, my!*


    *Sorry, Messrs. Tobor and Greenwade. Couldn't resist!

  7. I can see the premise, now.

    "ME TV TOONS Presents... Mars Attacks Duck Dodgers!"

  8. I'd rather see Wallace and Gromit team up with Dick Tracy to save Rats McTattler from Feathers McGraw. Providing Ross has a sufficient number of image captures, of course!

  9. I think Silver Surfer and Martian Manhunter would make for a great team up. Two aliens who're mostly alone (at least I see them as being a bit lonely), I could see them having amazing chemistry.

  10. Also, I could see the old Fawcett Comics character Spy Smasher having great chemistry with Black Widow. They could probably handle a cold war style thriller together. I mean, I haven't read any of Spy Smasher's comics (I mostly know of him thanks to wikipedia), but I see potential with him and Black Widow.

  11. Maybe.Spiderman could team with George of the Jungle. If Spider-Man got drunk, he’d probably ram into buildings, paralleling George of the Jungle.

  12. Shamus has a great story hook, there. Especially if BW wore her original Cold War-era fishnet unitard!

  13. Failing that, I wouldn't be against seeing BTVS and Cyclops of the X-men take on the former Roland Desmond in a sequel to STF #4345 tentatively entitled...

    "Summers Blockbuster."

  14. Someone please tell me that Anon@12:50 DID NOT just say that. :-(

  15. @Shamus You should really check out comicbookplus.com for tons of FREE AND LEGAL comics from the public domain! They have pretty much everything from Fawcett and Quality's Golden Age (including Spy Smasher) and even Charlton's Silver Age, if you like Ted Kord's Blue Beetle! And that's just the tip of the iceberg...

  16. Wallace and Gromit do have a spaceship hidden under their house !
    feathers McGraw could steal it and have to face off against Duck Dodgers…
    there is a interesting story there…

  17. @Simon: I would willingly buy that for $0.60. :-)

  18. A sure sign I need to go to bed after this.

    Foghorn Leghorn and Quickdraw McGraw vs. Feathers McGraw.

  19. Now, let's not go crazy, you guys. :-)

  20. Dear Ross: was most of this from the video "Curse of the Were-Rabbit"?
