the Spectacular Exalted Speed

I’m buying two leopards

Having fun at katsucon

Smiling, luthor tends to smile more then Chuck

I think comparisons can kind of be made but you know there are nuances

Weirdly my cousin said he got how Gundam was different from other mecha because he read spider-man
“Ohhh they both struggle and can lose”

She was impersonated by another super villain who almost killed him

Sal Busema has died at the age of 89, a comic legend at least to me, he never got the strong critical acclaim of guys like Jack Kirby, but if your the right fan you know how good he was, and if nothing else, I'm going to miss the way he drew punches in comics.

Trapped in my house pretending to work….honestly it’s fine but sigh

@exaltedspeed.bsky.social thought you’d want to see this

Magfest haul

I’m trying to do a write up eventually and right now I’m leaning on modern comparisons being South Park and family guy this isn’t one to one but it’s clickbait for how to present him for audiences warts and all

No joke it shows how a lot of power can fuck with people. He did use his power and sway for good he wrote and helped many kids who lost limbs but that should not excuse what he did later.

Anyway this is my dad’s favorite comic artist

If this was a movie there would be like some big actor reveal here

Yup I’m reading his biography to fill up knowledge gaps. He’s not actually the first one to be a major name,Ham fisher was another dude, but he kind of seemed to have laid out how to be a big comic strip star and how to merchandise it

How Al Capp broke up with his first girlfriend

Ouch but be careful what you say to a one leg dude

Finally airbrushed a kit

Is well….man

it's kind of funny looking at Comics strips vs comic books because they REALLY WERE HUGE back in the day and a cartoonist could be one of the most talked about people but as time went on that just grew less and less, I think the only BIG modern strip artist we talk about is....

Planned white elephant wrapping paper

*Im a toonami kid

Big O showtime!

Don’t show this to Superman twitter it’s a reasonable stance on the character

Going to try and cross post again because why not

Comics editors were a different breed back then

Not any particular adventure I remember that said and again that said this is hard to look up because he regularly teams up with people named Medusa and Gorgon who are not actually related to those concepts

@exaltedspeed.bsky.social

Ok i would be legit kind of shocked if this sort of thing hasn't been answered in a comic before with what the 4 get up to. Has anyone ever tried to Medusa The Thing?

Posting this with no context from my twitter. Just know…..it’s still hell

But I also got the best plastic man action figure

Comic book pick ups today yes I did pick up the manga by scholastic because what
