Ha! I have that exact same album in that exact same condition. When my sister moved, I snagged a pile of old records her ex-mother-in-law had give her.

I'm a sucker for that era of sunshine pop/soul, though. The 5th Dimension were masters of it. (if that's a thing)

I'm always amazed at the work DC's artists put in during the 50s, balanced against what they were being paid.

99! Somehow I never registered that she had been married to Wally Wood during his EC years.

Brits aplenty!

YouTube video by U2 U2 - Yours Eternally (Lyric Video) ft. Ed Sheeran and Taras Topolia

Also saw U2 dropped a new EP yesterday, and kind of shrugged, but then realized if Bono was built for anything, it was probably Right Now.

Turns out I was right. I'd almost forgotten how good this band could be once upon a time when fired up, and fired up they are again.

With Tom Morello joining Springsteen on his Fuck Trump tour, I feel like I need to catch one of those shows. I have a sense it'll be healing. Screaming along to Bruce anthems with Morello ripping it up would be cathartic. Guess I hadn't realized how desperate I've been for some hope and community.

Nit. Picking.

Did you not see the machine gun?

Improving with age, Antony?

Very cheeky.

The Black Panther.

Daredevil.

The Night Hawk.

The Banshee.

Black Panther, Daredevil, Nighthawk and Banshee.

Kansas has fared best when moderate Republicans get tired of the Right Wing/Libertarian shit bags and push them out en masse, as when Sam Brownback was chased out of office after letting the Kochs reshape Kansas Tax laws, to disastrous effect.

It's also why we've had so many female Dem governors.

Biggest problem right now in Kansas is that a relatively moderate state (on the whole) is under control of the extreme Right, which doesn't represent a majority of Kansans by any stretch.

So horrible assholes like Kris Kobach and Ty Masterson are rabidly pursuing their repellant personal agendas.

if I catch A SINGLE ONE OF YOU doing this to our trans friends in Kansas, I will fucking wreck you.

the politicians doing this to Kansas are evil. the people it is being done to deserve support and help and to not have to deal with your sadistic little jokes. grow a fucking soul.

Micro-Face!

Zippo probably had trouble with stairs.

Twister.

Kangaroo Man and Bingo. Who knew kangaroos went "RSP RSP"?

I probably have the most fondness for the dumbest looking/dumbest named characters.

Like, say, Micro-Face, Zippo, Twister and Kangaroo Man and Bingo.

The Duke of Darkness

That doll ... The Spider Queen

The Devil's Dagger is tired of your questions, stupid.

Mr. Satan, long running.

I also loved the evocative descriptive names for Golden Age heroes, often sounding more like villains.

Like the Duke of Darkness, the Spider Queen, the Devil's Dagger and Mr. Satan.

The Black Dwarf

Speed Centaur. So many physiological questions...

I've spent years idly trying to figure out a way to translate the Golden Age philosophy of throwing everything against the wall, no matter how insane, to modern comics, and I'm not there yet, but I'll get there.

For example, have the Black Dwarf and Speed Centaur.

Kirby swipes Playboy

Here's my favorite thing about that panel.

He was phenomenal in that film. Just rewatched it.

Watching FB Eyeballs clown with the U.S. Men's hockey team makes me glad the women convinced me to follow the PWHL.

Jason made his own bed, and has to live with the consequences of his behavior, regardless of how he's addressed it or worked to fix it. For sure.

I haven't seen that he created a new Image book, but if so, the market will determine how he benefits from it, since no one is paying him.

Who's he working for beyond himself?

I'm also always curious how we define abuse, and, if the circumstances didn't involve physical or calculated abuse, how we allow for them to address their issues.

There are real calculated abusers out there who should not be allowed back in the fold.

The Enchanted Dagger!

Take your pick!

Flamingo, The Fly Man, The Ferret or the Fiery Mask!

Ditko Sandman

Ditko Scorpion

Ditko Kraven

Ditko Lizard

Ditko Mysterio

Ditko Dr. Octopus

Ditko Green Goblin

Ditko Vulture

Not only did Steve Ditko create most of Spider-Man's most notable villains, they were very weird, in the classic sense.

Along with Dr. Strange, I'm not sure any character had more of their creator's DNA stamped all over them from the start.

Lee should always get credit for letting Ditko run wild.

John Byrne/Terry Austin Ant-Man cover

Bob Layton Ant-Man

Rejected/unpublished cover by John Byrne and Terry Austin. Published cover by Bob Layton.

MARVEL PREMIERE 47 (1979)

I remember seeing the Byrne cover in THE ART OF JOHN BYRNE as a kid. I don't think Byrne was a great cover artist, but this one is light years better than Layton's.

Carmine Infantino Spider-Woman

Cockrum and McLeod Spider-Woman

Rejected/unpublished cover by Carmine Infantino. Published cover by Dave Cockrum and Bob McLeod. 

SPIDER-WOMAN 13 (1979)

Rejected Tony Salmons Web of Spider-Man cover

Charles Vess Web of Spidey cover.

Rejected/unpublished cover by Tony Salmons. Published cover by Charles Vess.

WEB OF SPIDER-MAN ANNUAL 1 (1985)

As much as I love Tony Salmons, the Vess cover is beautiful, as usual.
