The Halcyon Era of Sexual Harassment
Remember the good ol’ days of hasslin’ women at the workplace? Your friend Martin Filchock sure does. Here’s the original art that appeared in Sex to Sexty, an obviously hilarious set of joke books. This knee-slapping gag dates back to the 60′s when the world was still fun.
Top 100 Summer Comics #67
After some of my interest in the X-Men comics of the 90′s has been coming out, I had to stop myself. I was starting to feel like a kid who loved LeBron James but didn’t really know much about this Jordan guy, let alone Magic and Bird. Let’s talk classics. Stone cold classics. #67 – [...]
Beware, Surface Dwellers!
I like the details on this auction: “Uh, dunno. It’s cell animation, so it seems like it probably went to a cartoon… or something. It’s Sub-Mariner, so probably, like, a Sub-Mariner cartoon… or some shit.” While this is very likely exactly what they speculate it is (from the Sub-Mariner cartoon), this was clearly found while [...]
Top 100 Summer Comics… #94
I had to get in the way-back machine for this one. And I can’t lie – I’ve never held an original copy of this book in my hands. But I have had the chance to read at least two separate reprints, and it looks just the same. Just without the yellow pages and worn spine. [...]
More Submariner!!!
Please excuse our Namor preoccupation here at ComicNoize. He’s just that cool. Let’s talk about this, a vintage 1960′s Marvel poster featuring the man himself, Namor. 1. Can you picture someone tripping out in their garage, staring at this poster? It’s a little bit weird to think about this guy charging at you in the [...]
Classic Captain America
Hey, did you catch the Captain America shield in Iron Man 2??? Wait, everyone did. They practically hurled it at you. So for the one or two per 1000 who missed it, I think that Iron Man 2 will be in the theater for a minute, so go back and see it. For everyone else, [...]
Even legends have off days…
No one’s perfect. Everyone has spilled their drink. Made a mistake at work. Cut an appendage doing something foolish. I think that I would liken Stan Lee and Gene Colan’s off day being most alike to severing a finger while trying to cut a sandwich… The character was created by Stan Lee and Gene Colan [...]
So THAT’s why Batman doesn’t like Superman
The 60′s were a great and interesting time for the superstars of DC Comics. Given that DC and it’s Super Powers predate most of the Marvel U, while The Fantastic Four and Spider-Man were just getting their training wheels, Superman and Batman had already been through the gauntlet. Hokey live action tv shows? Got ‘em. [...]
Even Les Stroud couldn’t survive these issues…
Superman’s Girlfriend Lois Lane. No, that’s the name of the comic. I somehow feel like a post-feminist society would take some issue with quite a few things in these comics. Color me curious, but somehow I feel as though the recycled themes of 1) fighting over men 2) being sad about marrying the wrong guy [...]
