12 Days of Christmas 2012! "Murder Stalks Ward 8!" by Thomas and Mortimer

Happy ho, ho, ho to you, Groove-ophiles! When we took a look at the Marvel-ous covers of Christmas '72 last week, the cover of Night Nurse #3 caught many of your eyes, so Ol' Santa Groove thought ya might wanna inspect the insides of that mighty mag. Without further ado, then, here's "Murder Stalks Ward 8!" by Jean Thomas and Win Mortimer!

Groovy New Year's Party 2009 with Brother Power the Geek, Night Nurse, Prez, and Brother Voodoo

Happy New Year, Groove-ophiles! Hope 2009 is your best year ever! Ol' Groove is throwing a party, and we're glad you came! C'mon in and let's paaaaaaartyyyyyyyyyy!

Check out the song I wrote just for the occasion (with apologies to the late, great Rick Nelson):

Well I went to a New Year's party

To hang out with some friends
A chance to share old comicbooks

And smell newsprint again.

Over on the sofa

much to my surprise
Brother Geek sat and didn't blink
While he sowed back on his eyes.

And we're all geeks now

Forgotten, washed up, but wow
We're on the Groovy Blog!

Dig us gettin' down!

I said "Hello" to Night Nurse

She was lookin' fine.

The only gal in the room

But she didn't mind.

But the dudes who made the party

Were doin' their own thing

Prez and Voodoo drinkin' YooHoo

List'ning to me sing.

And we're all geeks now
Forgotten, washed up but wow
We're on the Groovy Blog!

Dig us gettin' down!

Lat'n da da da
Lat'n da da da

(Okay, I didn't say it was a good song...)

Well, don't be a wallflower, man! Here's Brother Power, the Geek #1 (July, 1968) by Joe (co-creator of Captain America and much more) Simon!


Wasn't that the most? Now, let's dig on Night Nurse #1 (August, 1972) by Jean (Roy's Ex) Thomas and Win Mortimer!

Prez sez he's waited long enough! Here's Prez #1 (May, 1973) by Joe Simon (again!) and Jerry Grandenetti!

And now, the baddest dude that ever voodoo-ed is gonna close the party with his origin story from Strange Tales #169 (July, 1973) courtesy Len Wein and Gene Colan!
