Photo of assorted Marvel comics, as well as those published by DC and Atlas, on display in a 1975 magazine store. The assorted black and white magazines are racked at the top, and MAD is on the floor, waiting to be displayed. Those Atlas books really were trying to look like Marvel mags, weren’t they?

Reblogged because you can see copies of Amazing Adventures #29 at lower right- Killraven by Don McGregor and Craig Russell, one of my favorite single issue comics.

Catwoman by Faith Erin Hicks

Might we see Ms. Hicks design for some DC Nation shorts? I hope so.

So, Warren Ellis asked me to write something for his blog. I am a VERY busy man, but luckily I had an excerpt from my in-progress autobiography “Are You There, God? It’s Me, Supergod (I Am Here To Destroy You).” This particular chapter deals with the time I was approached to write WATCHMEN 2.

Thanks, Warren!

Blast from the past, though I think they’re still together.

What’s your favorite color, baby?

Comics are a Man’s World, by Faith Erin Hicks.

Beautiful. If I counted the number of times I had heard this while in direct proximity to women enjoying, producing, and purchasing comics, it would be a very high number indeed.

A page from the very last Giant-Man and the Wasp solo story from TALES TO ASTONISH #69, drawn by Bob Powell and John Giunta.

The assorted notes at the top of the page read:

COLOR: PUT GM BEHIND A LIGHT GREEN GLASS

JUST WAIT’LL I GET MY HANDS ON YOU—YOU’LL FIND OUT!

YOU CAN!

I unabashedly love this two-parter, have done so since I was a kid, and I don’t care who knows it!
