Safe advice to be sure, but not always practical. Landlines, new phone, partner who DOES pick up strange numbers who you need to know how to help, etc

A general Scam Call tell: legitimate callers follow dialogue trees designed to lower the temperature of the conversation and encourage you to open up. If the tone is aggressive, threatening, or full of phrases like "that's confusing / unfortunate," they're trying to pressure you into a mistake.

Scam calls always spike in the fall. Remember, legitimate callers won't:

-Threaten to report you to law enforcement
-Get defensive about the call's legitimacy
-Hang up when you ask for a supervisor
-Ask for your SSN

If you EVER don't like the vibe, just bail. If it's real, they'll call back.

Wolfang is actually sort of a legacy character, appearing in the original Tournament of Death/Mongo storyline in 1934. It's possible that this panel is his only appearance, despite his impressive résumé, but I liked the name so I repurposed him as a key character in this arc.

Panel from a late 1934 FLASH GORDON panel by Alex Raymond in which Wolfang, Ming's Chief-of-staff and warlord of Mongo, addresses an Arena.

My reimagined Wolfang, a vaguely Jason Momoa-esque middle-aged Gladiator.

Yes! It's maybe the most beautiful thing about comics. No other medium can slide around in time like this.

Ironically, that page is from a series which not only explicitly states him to be a Vietnam veteran but in fact literally never stops talking about it

We'll let you forget Tony Stark was blown up by communists if it makes you feel better but if you try to tell us Nick Fury lost his eye in Desert Storm we will RIOT

The Punisher is a 38 year old Vietnam veteran with a smart phone, and if you can get on board with that there's a whole mighty Marvel universe for you to enjoy

What's next for comics? Keeping them accessible and affordable. Moving on from collectors and targetting young Gen Z readers
Griepp points out that there have been slow years in comics and then a dramatic year like 1986 where books still in print. Publsihers must nurture that creativity

Oh, absolutely. On top of everything else, Wolfman was a brand management mastermind.

The Post-Crisis / Byrne era of Superman comics was a period that really pushed the idea of Metropolis being a real-life big city (lots of empty fast food wrappers on the ground, etc) and nobody but nobody executed that better than Jerry Ordway. His DC universe was a place with Starros AND Sbarros

Colin Smith @colinsmith.bsky.social · 1d

Superman, by Jerry Ordway & Anthony Tollin, from 1991’s Who’s Who In The DC Universe.

Many artists have created splendid takes on The Man Of The Steel. But few can equal Ordway, whose Superman always feels thoroughly authentic and nigh-on definitive.
