True Love?

And, since women love the bad boys, let’s throw one of the founding members of Batman’s rogues gallery in for good(?) measure.

Edward Nygma,..

Wait, does a name like that make you wonder about predestination?

Anyway, Edward Nygma, or E. Nygma, first donned his green togs in Detective Comics 140, October of 1948. Bill Finger and Dick Sprang are responsible for the criminal mastermind hobbled by the obsession to incorporate riddles and puzzles into his crimes.

His Golden Age appearances were limited to his debut and Detective Comics 142. Presumably the Riddler was a guest of the state until the Silver Age when, upon his release in Batman 171 he continued his criminal career.

Since then, Nygma has made up for lost time never far from a comic book appearance throughout the ensuing ages and crises.

And, if you’re curious as to the answers on the Valentine, it’s printed upside down in the lower left hand corner and the title of today’s post.
