I hate the argument that artists (regardless of field) are "good" because they have some magical innate "talent". And not because we (as you said) practice constantly and try to better ourselves.

I love that this was sufficiently early that they could just chuck Havok and Polaris in there next to Tagak the fricking Tigerman. Also one of the earliest Moon Knight appearances!

They should make a JAV movie about soldiers with big tits and then have insane 30-minute Metal Gear Solid monologues about the nature of warfare and the human condition layered over every sex scene.

Oh they had to get MJ to stop being Venom because they couldn't have Venom in a lesbian romance, I see how it is...

Which, I mean. I don't think many people defend the "Peter Parker's parents were secretly super-spies" angle, so that makes sense.

Yeah the wording is funny. "The" Red Skull who ordered the hit is indeed Albert Malik, the communist. How they're gonna bring him back after being an old man who got shot through the chest is the interesting part. WHY bring him back is the actual interesting part.

I always remind myself that if I were to read every comic I would have to read every Mark Millar comic. And that quickly sobers me up.

During this period Everett had been struggling with heavy drinking and health issues for a long time, so his already headstrong personality had become downright ornery at times. He passed away in 1973 at only age 55.

I'd love to see it. I remember when you could mental playsets like the Swedish chef's kitchen from the Muppets (Palisades, how I miss thee). Portion that kind of thing out, but make it Marvel themed.

I wonder what Ray Lago is doing today. He was part of that post-Marvels demand for more painting artists and did a lot of covers and stuff for Marvel in the late 90s and early 00's, but I haven't seen any of his stuff for a while. This pic is good, love the framing of Gambit and Locke

Comrade Bullski @comradebullski.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
He was the main artist on Lady Luck during that period and also worked as an assistant to Eisner on Spirit (and other stuff). His Lady Luck was quite well regarded since he had a somewhat Jack Cole-ish quality to his art, very stylized and animated. But I also cannot tell offhand if that page is him

Yeah, like I love Bob Budyanski and I know he was working under a damocles sword with Hasbro breathing down his neck constantly about new toys but the Pretenders concept he came up with was not his finest hour. I like the idea of the pretenders having been mythical monsters and heroes in history.

Comrade Bullski @comradebullski.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
He was released in the UK and European markets at the tail end of the G1 toyline, and even got a weird minimal new story in the catalogs that made no sense. A lot of kids who got into Transformers late here got him or Skyquake as their big expensive transformer and they are both rad.

Potentially disastrous opinion: Super-God Masterforce is a fun and enjoyable show about a bunch of kids getting mixed up in something bigger than themselves and has some genuinely moving pathos to it. It's way overhated. Not perfect by any means, but I never felt bored by it.

I think that's a Syd Shores cover, or at least from somebody trying to draw like Shores. There's just something so simple and appealing about the whole Blonde Phantom setup. The seemingly demure secretary who is secretly a mob-busting baddie is perfect golden age.

Blonde Phantom has become a low-key favorite of mine over the years. The similarities with the considerably more successful Black Canary are fascinating.

Absolutely heartbreaking. When I saw Tom's art in superhero comics in the 90's it was instantly recognizable and instantly cool. His issues of FORCE WORKS especially have stuck with me my whole life. Please donate if you have the means. www.gofundme.com/f/help-marve...

Just found out that Matt Howarth died. One of the purest examples of the explosion of creativity that happened in American comics in the 1980s, his weird take on genre tropes was totally individual and uncommercial. RIP.

All her modern solos try to reinvent the wheel, and they barely even re-use characters and situations from the previous ones. It makes it hard to get a handle on her.
