I found this amazing parenthetical in the Newsday Nassau Edition paper in 1965, giving credit to Bill Finger for #Batman and pointing out how he had received none.

The Marvel Curtis Magazines in the late 1970s was meant for a more mature audience which was fun to see our favorite comic book characters in black and white adult situations.

Rest in Peace, Peter David, world builder and comic book writer. He did amazing work on The Incredible Hulk, X-Factor, Aquaman, The Phantom, and Star Trek: New Frontier. Across four decades he earned Eisner, Inkpot and GLAAD honors with scripts that mixed heart, humor and innovative concepts.

Jack Kirby left pieces of himself in his heroes. Just as Ditko mirrors Peter Parker and Siegel & Shuster echo Superman, Kirby surfaces in three ’60s co-creations: cigar-chomping commander Nick Fury, rough-hearted Yancy Street bruiser the Thing, and cosmic explorer Reed Richards.

Frank Miller’s 2011 Holy Terror channels years-stewed feelings of 9/11. His lone Captain America pin-up in #Marvel Heroes 2001, drawn weeks after the attacks, radiates fresher, viscerally shell-shocked emotion. That stark, raw one-page response strikes me as the more somber and powerful statement.

Marc Silvestri’s late-’80s X-Men art with Chris Claremont wowed me. After leaving #Marvel to co-found Image, he launched Cyberforce in 1992 while Rob Liefeld did Youngblood and Jim Lee created WildC.A.T.s. Mutant superpowers, tights, and Wolverine-esque Ripclaw made that era #fun.

Johnny Craig’s art and suspense make Vault of Horror #35 (1954) memorable. Its Vault Keeper, a Sundblom-style Santa, inspired the 1989 Tales from the Crypt TV episode; producer Richard Donner ensured the show’s 1990s style honored the ’50s original.

Bell & Vassallo’s Secret History of Marvel Comics shows Martin Goodman’s shifting labels: Timely appears in 1942; Atlas in 1944 and again as a distributor stamp 1950-56; 1947’s “A Marvel Magazine,” 1949 red-circle Marvel, and 1963’s #Marvel Comics

In Roy Lichtenstein fashion, modern artists in 2018 still made a solid buck by appropriating classic #comic panels into their modern #art pieces. These redepicted panels from 1970s John Buscema and Rich Buckler.

Steve Ditko’s 1969 Beware the Creeper #5 packs action and suspense as the Creeper chases Proteus. The issue reveals Ditko’s drive toward weightier storytelling.

In Destroyer Duck #1 (1982), Martin Pasko, Joe Staton, and Scott Shaw satirized the 1951 lunch-hour conflict between. Toth said he only threatened, not physically attacked, Schwartz; the “dangling” story was likely exaggerated.

Bondage artist Eric Stanton shared Ditko’s studio during #Spider-Man ‘s birth. He claims credit for web-shooting hands and Aunt May’s name. Ditko inked Stanton’s pages, laughing, including 1973’s “The Kinky Hook,” starring a putty-masked Chameleon
