For the @guardian review.

this is still the ultimate popeye comic panel

In Mexico, publisher La Prensa stopped reprinting Spider-Man after #119, because they believed the audience wouldn’t accept Gwen Stacy dying. So they did over 45 issues of original content, which included an issue where he married Gwen Stacy (who didn’t die):

Like Luke Cage, the Cat was subjected to medical experiments that gave her super powers. Instead of just super-strength, though, Greer Grant, formerly a docile homemaker, was given an intensified “women’s intuition.” (Two years later, the character was subjected to radiation, which transformed her into a furry, striped feline named Tigra. Her costume was simply a bikini.) Alas, the message of empowerment was lost on Wally Wood, who sent back the cover of The Cat #1 with the heroine’s clothes removed, and Marie Severin—who’d had more than her fill of boys’ club shenanigans over the years—had to white out the Cat’s nipples and pubic hair.

(sigh)

In 1979, Alice Donenfeld—Marvel VP of Business Affairs—came up with the germ of the idea that became Dazzler.

She also campaigned for film & TV featuring Ms. Marvel, Spider-Woman, Howard the Duck, and She-Hulk.

And that is why we needed the Comics Code Authority.

Wait. Patsy MAYBE was interested in a different guy, so Buzz has decreed that she has to give him roadhead all the way to the Capital Theatre? Not cool, bro.

That’s not really reason to institute a nationwide ban on the content of comic books. That’s more like Buzz is a delusional ass wipe.

Mad Dog and Hellcat were kinky AF back in Centerville.

Happy belated birthday to Sal Buscema, who has drawn every character under the sun, but will always be the definitive Spider-Man artist of my youth - merging the style and vibe of John Romita with a modern, gritty sensibility. I loved his run with J.M. DeMatteis - one of the best superhero arcs ever, loaded with history anddark, psychological suspense mixed in with classic superheroics.

A great run, that made me reevaluate his earlier work. When I was a kid I felt he always compared unfavorably with his brother (and to be fair all artists compared unfavorably with Big John at the time), but after his collaboration with Walt Simonson on Thor it was like he finally shook free of his brother’s shadow, and his new approach to storytelling was a perfect fit for the story DeMatteis was telling.
