I’ve mentioned ShiftyLook when talking about the Bravoman cartoon. For the uninformed, this is a website created by Namco Bandai to show off some of their properties by creating webcomics of the more unknown or forgotten games in their library.
Word came this week that this will soon end as ShiftyLook will be closing down by the end of Spring. (The link in the previous sentence and in the titles below now goes to the latest available archive at the Internet Archive Wayback Machine as of 1/30/2024.) So I thought I’d go over some of my favorite comics from the site as a memorial to the lost and soon to be.
I’m not going to have any jokes for these cover, am I?

While not an “official” Sing Me A Story article, because it’s not mine, this certainly fits the content. Cracked.com turned to their readers to find the true story of popular songs that we get wrong. They found 35 good ones, and some of them are quite astounding.
“Look, just pay the toll and we can end this.”

“Trial By Fire!” WRITER: Bob Budiansky PENCILER: José Delbo INKER: Dave Hunt COLORIST: Nel Yomtov LETTERER: Bill Oakley EDITOR: Don Daley
When I started this series I thought I would be reviewing the Prologue with the introduction. I also didn’t know it would take until the third book before I was actually doing a chapter at a time. So here we go with the opening to the better first voyage of the classic crew.
That must be some rock concert!
