“There Isn’t A Word of Truth In Any of That”- A Conversation With The Elusive & Prolific Clair Noto on Hollywood, Marvel, and Her Erasure from Red Sonja Who is Clair Noto? Clair Noto is a footnote in the history of Marvel Comics. Superciliously deigned as a co-writer (which she denies), lazily written off (if written about at all) by supposed fans …

The first long interview with the mysterious Clair Noto, one of the 1st women comics writers, who wrote the cult fave Red Sonja series in the late 1970s, and about whom little is known.

She tees off on Roy Thomas, who she accuses of stealing credit, & Frank Thorne, who she detested. Juicy stuff!

Fingers crossed the new #Superman movie begins en media res (a la a James Bond) with Big Blue wrapping up dealing with Pan. 😛

I ❤️ how even though the panels get wider as Walter's transformation into Sasquatch goes on, they can't keep pace with the metamorphosis. (Alpha Flight #21 by John Byrne & co.)

People on here, regardless if they're left or liberals love to assign many voters deeper motives than they have. A significant amount of people voted Trump because he's the man from the TV that said he'd make things cheap again.

when I was a kid I read a lot of Star Trek novels, and the ones he wrote were a step above everything else. He was the first author whose name and works I intentionally sought out because they were so good ❤️

They're talking about "water based" cooking now. Cooking things in water instead of oils. It's soup. They're making soup.

Regarding the new MANY WORLDS: THE ART OF CHRISTIAN WARD, VOLUME ONE book that came in the mail recently...

🤩🏆 Christian Ward's art = chef's kiss 🤩🏆

Having said that, the three pages of text should have been proofread much more closely, as there are multiple typos and formatting issues.

Because the work is so anonymous, I'm intentionally withholding the name of the recolorist.

The words return in the hardcover Absolute edition. But, wait, something else is missing: Tatjana Wood's color art! It's been replaced with something that strives for realism, and I guess is successful in that regard, but it's bland, anonymous, and forgettable.

Page 22 of SWAMP THING #24 ends with these words: "I want to be alive, and grow, and rise up..." The thought gets completed on page 23: "...and meet the sun." It's an important moment: Swamp Thing embracing his plant self, and plants need sunlight. Scientifically accurate and thematically resonant!
