->"Thanks to my snarky yet reverent approach, and unique, professional graphics, there is no other blog like DIAL B for BLOG! Not exactly a '''blog''', not really a '''magazine''', it's the future of the internet -- the first of a NEW form of media -- a '''BLOGAZINE'''!"

Meet Robby Reed, a boy genius who discovered a mysterious dial. Upon dialing the word "BLOG" into it, Robby found himself transformed into a blog. From then on, whenever he redials, a new post appears on the blog. Thus began the saga of ''[[https://web.archive.org/web/20200123173021/http://dialbforblog.com/ Dial B For Blog]]''!

In reality, the blog was created by Kirk Kimball, a graphic artist who grew up a comic book fan ever since reading the ''ComicBook/ActionComics'' story, ''[[ComicBook/LexLuthor Luthor]]'s First Victory Over Franchise/{{Superman}}!'' He was especially captivated by the in-house advertisement for ''The Strange Death of Franchise/{{Batman}}!'' from ''ComicBook/DetectiveComics''. He has since been impressed by ComicBook/SpiderMan saving himself with no one and nothing to help him, and personally witnessed Creator/NealAdams doing sketches with nothing but raw talent the first time he attended a comics convention. It wasn't until 2005 when Kirk visited a blog called [[http://absorbascon.blogspot.com/ The Absorbascon]], which was supporting [[ComicBook/{{Hawkman}} Thanagar]] during the ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis'' miniseries ''The [[ComicBook/AdamStrange Rann]]/Thanager War''. Inspired, Kirk created his own blog using the comic book ''ComicBook/DialHForHero'' as a basis, and did his own support for Rann.

The "blogazine", as the blog calls itself, mainly focuses on [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] Creator/DCComics, though occasionally looks at other subjects, from Creator/MarvelComics, to ComicBook/ArchieComics, to even Franchise/{{Frankenstein}}. ''Dial B for Blog'' has an upcoming "volume" that will be launched on March 14, 2016, to coincide with ''Film/BatmanVSupermanDawnOfJustice''.

!!This "blogazine" has examples of:
* BaseballEpisode: [[http://www.dialbforblog.com/archives/747 Super Speed Baseball Game]], in which a group of characters play baseball, culminating in two speedsters playing for each team and dragging it out for too long.
* CatchPhrase: "I, Robby Reed, creator of this web site and author of this article..."
* ContinuitySnarl: ComicBook/{{Hawkman}}'s case of this was featured in [[http://www.dialbforblog.com/archives/19 the "Continuity Bomb" issue]].
* CrowdedCastShot: [[http://www.dialbforblog.com/archives/100 Issue 100]] is a whole issue of it!
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The early issues were styled like a sensationalist magazine.
* EvilVersusEvil: [[http://www.dialbforblog.com/archives/365 Evil Robby vs. Captain Action's Dr. Evil]].
* MissingEpisode: Issue 358, which featured an episode of ''WesternAnimation/CourageousCatAndMinuteMouse'' (a cartoon created by Creator/BobKane) called "The Case of the Gun Mixup" (chosen specifically because the Cat Gun was Robby's favorite part of the cartoon). Also, the original Issue 590, "Zero Hour for Robby Reed", which was designed as a {{Book End|s}} for Volume 3 (which began with [[http://www.dialbforblog.com/archives/501 The Mystery of Robby Reed]]).
* {{Mascot}}: Volume 3 has Johnny DB (based on Johnny DC), debuting in Issue 510.
* OverlyNarrowSuperlative: "It's Dial B For Blog... THE WORLD'S GREATEST COMIC BLOGAZINE!"
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: From [[http://www.dialbforblog.com/archives/364/ Issue 364]]:
-->Yes, '''Dr. Evil''' is without all doubt... THE''!'' MOST''!'' EVIL''!'' BEING''!'' EVER''!'' '''EVER EVER'' EVER! Without exception!'''''
* RunningGag:
** In his "DC Explodes on TV" miniseries, whenever the featured comic cover appeared in a DC superhero show, Robby is quick to point out that its characters could easily read it and find out the secret identity of the show's hero. [[spoiler:The payoff comes in the finale, in which the featured comic is a RealWorldEpisode of ''ComicBook/TheFlash'' where the eponymous hero ends up on Earth Prime and reads his own comic book.]]
** Each fake cover for his "Coming Super Attractions" series contains a box saying, "''Extra!'' SUPERBOY becomes as BALD as LUTHOR in... ''[='=]The BALD BOY of STEEL![='=]''"
* {{Uninstallment}}: Robby has deliberately skipped Issue 701 at the end of Volume Six. The reason for this is unknown at this time.
