Karl Kesel, a writer and inker for DC Comics, is selling a trove of old comics that he's been collecting and preserving since childhood.

What for? The Kesels recently adopted a baby with heroin-addicted birth parents, and need money to pay for the child's rehabilitation costs.

Karl has found some solace in the sale:

I don't necessarily feel like I'm putting away childish things. I may be putting away my childish things. But I'm embracing Isaac's.
I think I'm getting another childhood here.

In this corner: Darth Maul, Sith badass and generally the coolest part of Star Wars Episode I.

In this corner: A baby. With a lightsaber.

"At last we will reveal ourselves to the Jedi. At last we will have rev-- Aaah! Giant baby! Run for it!"

So the original plan was for my 3 month old daughter to go as Green Lantern for Halloween but she insisted on being every single color of Lantern possible. She also insisted that every costume incorporate a tutu.
