Maybe, maybe not? You can decide. But there are some good ones.

Old SuperHeroes
If Superheroes aged in "real time," the ones we (and our parents) grew up reading might look a little bit like the works of artist Giles Barbier.
While you're on the site, be sure to check out some of his other works.

Tooth Monkey
Tooth Monkey
Originally uploaded by allaboutduncan.
A few weeks ago, Carter had his first dentist appointment. To prepare for it, we went to the Discovery Center, where they have a play dentist office set up.
Just in case Mom or Dad (or Grandma or Grandpa) doesn’t want to play the patient, they have what I call the Tooth Monkey. It’s a stuffed monkey with a full set of human (or larger) size choppers.
Carter thought it was cool and had a blast. He did great at the dentist, but I think the Tooth Monkey has me a little scared.
OHotMU and Who’s Who
If you look at my comics list on the site, you’ll see that the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe and DC Who’s Who are some of my favorites. There’s something about having all of that information in one place. The bad thing about them is they become outdated even before they are published.
You can find entries on popular heroes on Wikipedia, but noting exhaustive. I once had a friend that asked me about setting up and online version of those old books, but we never got around to it. As I started messing with some Wiki software, I thought that would be a great project for it and it looks like someone else did too.
Check out the DC Database Project and the Marvel Database project. Browse all the cool entries or contribute if you have the knowledge. Definitely going into my bookmarks.
