Introduction
This page is intended to preserve information about significant appearances of people, things, ideas, etc. in comic books. While things like first appearances of a particular character may be noted here, those are often easily found elsewhere. This page will specifically keep track of when our mailing lists discuss things like initial or significant appearances of art techniques, significant milestones in a creator's work, etc.
Wherever possible, information here should cite references, even if only to a thread on a mailing list on a particular day.
Things
Giant Props (as often used by Bill Finger)
- The week of June 26, 2006 on cdbl-chat contains several threads about the first use of giant props (typewriters, etc.) in Batman comics.
- The week of Monday, May 19 also contains threads on this topic (probably continuing into the following week) but is not linked to the archives yet at the time of this edit. This note is here to remind us to add the link once the archive updates at the end of the week.

Sonar [Bito Wladon]
- Sonar is a name used by several villains with sonic powers in the DC Universe, usually antagonists to Green Lantern. The original version was the rogue monarch of Modora, using his sound technology to commit crimes and exert political influence. Another villain named Sonar was a psychiatric patient augmented into a super-villain, who fought the Doom Patrol. The third Sonar was apparently the son of the original, and repeatedly fought Green Lantern Kyle Rayner. He has also been involved with the Secret Society of Super-Villains. The original Sonar was created by John Broome and Gil Kane and first appeared in Green Lantern (DC, 1960 series) #14, 1962.] One character named Sonar died in Flashpoint: Deathstroke & the Curse of the Ravager (DC, 2011 Series) #3.
