Of course, it’s always dangerous to try and remove Groo from a fray, but at least this hapless soul is THINKING before he acts….
Over to you, General Diamondrock!
[From Groo: Hell On Earth #4, April 2008. By Sergio Aragones; with wordsmith Mark Evanier, colorist Tom Luth, and letterer Stan Sakai.]
Anyway, because it’s a comic book, writer Walt Simonson lets us see Indy THINKING–!
If adventure has a name, it must be Diamondrock!
[From Marvel Super Special No. 18, adapting Raiders of the Lost Ark. Adaptation written by Walt Simonson, pencilled by John Buscema, inked by Klaus Janson, lettered by Rick Parker, and colored by Michele Wolfman.]
Diamondrock, I, uh, think that’s my red stapler….
[From "Legion.Com," one of the many fine stories in 2005's Bizarro World. Written by Ariel Bordeaux and drawn, lettered, and colored by Rick Altergott.]
… but these two pages with Thor-Frog are pretty effective too.
And, of course, it wouldn’t work if Thor-Frog weren’t THINKING!
[From "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner; or, It's Not Easy Being Green!" in The Mighty Thor #365, March 1986. Written and drawn by Walt Simonson, lettered by John Workman, colored by Max Scheele.]
… and then there’s “thinking in a constantly shifting, Escher-inspired environment,” which apparently takes some getting used to.
[From "Different Worlds," the lead story in Action Comics #600, May 1988. Written and pencilled by John Byrne, with at least some assists (I think) on both from George Perez, inked by Mr. Perez, colored by Tom Ziuko, lettered by John Costanza.]
I call that THINKING, Diamondrock!
[From "He Who Slaughters!" in 5-Star Super-Hero Spectacular, a/k/a DC Special Series vol. 1 #1, 1977. Written by Denny O'Neil, drawn by Joe Staton, colored by Liz Berube, lettered by Ben Oda.]
Time for some serious THINKING–!
If the same scene were to play out today, I’d put even money on a) Batwoman taking a peek under the mask and b) getting a good dose of one of the costume’s countermeasures.
That’s in a mainstream Batman comic, mind you. The Frank Miller version would definitely be NSFW.
Diamondrock is deep in thought!
[From "The Batwoman," Detective Comics #233, July 1956. Written by Edmond Hamilton, pencilled by Sheldon Moldoff, inked by Charles Paris. Color reconstruction for Batman in the Fifties by Lee Loughridge.]
THINKING, of course!
Special bonus panel: willpower knows no height!
Short and sweet this week, Diamondrock!
[From "Decoy Missions Of The Justice League!" in Justice League of America vol. 1 #24, December 1963. Written by Gardner Fox, pencilled by Mike Sekowsky, inked by Bernard Sachs, lettered by Gaspar Saladino, color reconstruction for Justice League Archives Vol. 4 by Tom McCraw and Rick Taylor.]
But what could startle this seasoned crimefighter…?
Yep, I imagine that’d do it.
Trick or treat, Diamondrock!
[From the classic "Night of the Reaper!" in Batman #237, December 1971. Written by Denny O'Neil (from an idea by Berni Wrightson with an assist by Harlan Ellison), pencilled by Neal Adams, inked by Dick Giordano, lettered by John Costanza; and touched-up for its reprinting in Batman Illustrated By Neal Adams Volume 3.]
See, because Clark “thinking” with his … well, never mind … probably wouldn’t have counted with Diamondrock.
Good thing he woke up ready for some regular good ol’ wholesome THINKING!
[From "The Mummy Strikes," Superman vol. 2 #5, May 1987. Written and pencilled by John Byrne, inked by Karl Kesel, colored by Tom Zuiko, lettered by John Costanza.]
