Spidey Stories Stories werena great entry point to becoming a comic book reader!

Somewhere I read Marvel let Electric Company license Spidey for nothing - but it paid dividends

When I enjoy a James Bond, a Hercule Poirot, etc it us just 'a tale about'.

Comics has the "hypertime" idea, where every story stands with whatever set of previous tales the creators need it to.
I'm fascinated by this sort of thing. I'm not quite sure how we jumped from 'this is a story about James Bond' to 'this the story of James Bond'. I think in part it's because soap opera is one of the great inventions of the 20th century and people who say they hate it love it without realising

Where are you coming from, Spider-Man?
Nobody knows who you are...
Danny Seagren, the mute Spiderman of the 1970s edutainmemt show, The Electric Company

For 70s kids, we would occassional get episodes of the Electric Company shown in class on those days when no teaching was being done (field days, day before break! etc)

Dancer and Muppet Puppeteer Danny Seagren was the first live-action Spiderman

I can't find verification online of his passing,

Lichtenstein is still celebrated in Fine Art

As close to 'plagiarism' as we'll get

"Lichtenstein would copy the source image by hand, adjusting its composition to suit his narrative, and then trace this altered sketch onto the canvas, aided by a projector."

Oh yeah!

Its our monsters and GIs versus a lost island of dinosaur-esque beasties.No superheroes. Just bazookas, tommy guns, frogmen, werewolves, commandos, and robo-soldiers.

Sometimes a retreat is the only victory

I was telling @comicfoil.bsky.social earlier about my holy grail, passed on when I was 9 because I thought it was too big an ask of my mom. I obtained it via eBay several years ago, and upon unwrapping and smelling the 45-year old newsprint, wept for a minute.

What’s a book/issue you’ve waited on?

It's the story of the first Thanksgiving
no parades or easy living
we wouldn't have even had Thanksgiving
if it weren't for the talking squirrel.

Popeye <often> has a full 4 fingers and a thumb.

His hands are huge

Maybe this explains what Olive sees in our Sailor man. She likes a man with big hands.

Original model sheets for Betty Rubble and Dino for the Flintstones, still called Gladstones here in 1960.

Signed by Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera, but also Ed Benedict, a designer of many early HB characters.

The martial arts craze is perhaps a forgotten part of the Bronze Age of Comics - but it was awesome.

Here we have the original Sons of the Tiger, with a premise of strength through diversity, tights, vests, and kung fu fighting.
