"had to be invented" is a rhetorical device.

Media... including and especially The Washington Post, The New York TImes, etc are supposed to hold the President accountable. Since you are included as "enemy of the people" why do you continually prop him up?

President Trump is directing the Justice Department to prosecute his perceived political enemies, upending the career ranks and raising questions about selective prosecution.

The world made more sense when we all had to read paper.
I saw you at some basement place in DC in the late 80's and there was an inch of water on the floor. I believe it was water.

Pretty tidy room and thoughtfully hung pictures for a guy who looks like he never drinks from a glass.

I was there and chatted with Peter Kuper a bit... if your ears were burning....we agreed your books are very well done and researched.

He considers himself "brave" but too scared to walk through the streets of Baltimore with the Governor's security AND a Secret Service detail? Wuss indeed.

I posit that lining up the tan line with the horizon doesn't work because the art is somewhat naturalistic. In the surrealistic realm of primitive conceptual illustation that I tread in I can tell you... that intentionally lining these things up is something I would probably do.

Creepy stuff made even creepier because it was made by a team at a corporation and published in a mainstream comic available everywhere.

Got that one as a kid and loved it. I first found Plastic Man in Feiffer's Great Comic Book Heroes book. Even some of the later Quality issues after Cole left the series are pretty good.

Plastic Man & Capt. Marvel/Shazam fit in the DC universe about as well as Bugs Bunny & Woody Woodpecker.

Showing continued loyalty to a guy who would have literally let him hang is a weird Republican disfunction.

The crystalline grid effect by Sal B. is a perfect add on. These days it most likely be done with some kind of computer effect instead of ink lines.

I think he might have brought it up in a flashback when they "borged" him? And I'm recalling he was a flutist?... but I might be misremembering.

They did him dirty giving him mittens!
Rom was a pretty cool comic and I think the first longish run I ever completed bought directly from the newsstand. Wish I kept them!
