"NO. 2: MARVEL COMICS
It's still weird seeing Marvel Comics as "#2." OTOH, I don't really recall the last time I was buying a regular, ongoing Marvel series; usually it's just mini-series these days, such as Spider-Man: Torn and Planet of the Apes…"

"I always assumed that Al Pratt was comfortable during his college years. Maybe he supplemented his income with whatever cash flew out of the crooks that he threw around. Once it hits the floor, it's fair game!
Too bad they didn't make "Doctor…"

"Sadly, there were no 'oliday snaps involved. "
"Candid photography is central to the story.

"My grandparents had one like that, too. Alas, I don't know what happened to it."
"Good point. I also note there was an Abbot and Costello movie of that name, released in November 1941 -- which, coincidentally, is the same month this issue came out (although it would have been written a few months previously). "
"Interesting. Never heard that song before."
"Candid photography is central to the story. Was it considered a "cool" technology in the early '40s, like aviation and radio?

"Someone in all three superhero stories in this issue says, "Keep 'em flying!" We were discussing that yesterday, so I happened to notice it. It's really commonplace in these stories, and becomes inescapable after Pearl Harbor. Roy Thomas would rely…"
"BONUS!
Yesterday I posted the wrong issue of All-American Comics. So today you get the right one!

"Also, since Al Pratt was a college student who never seemed to have even a part time job, it's possible that in this particular story, his parents (were they ever shown, or even mentioned? ) hadn't sent that month's allowance yet."
"It could be relative, too. I once had a bank VP complain to me that he was so broke that he couldn't afford a second swimming pool.

Sorry, I have obviously lost my ability to spell. (How embarrassing!) It's good to know your parents didn't saddle you with Scott or Sidney."

"Apparently, "Kwak" means something like "city walls" in Korean, so "Doctor Kwak" probably has a nice, sturdy sound to it over there. It's only if they try practicing in the Anglosphere that it acquires an unfortunate connotation.

I have one scheduled for week after next. What's up?
Are you going to write an article on the show Cloak & Dagger, which debuts June 7 on the Freeform cable channel (formerly ABC Family)?
After all these years, that's all I get, "Welcome aboard" ? Geez, it's not like I've only know you longer than any human on this planet outside my siblings. Seriously, I hope all is well. Speaking of siblings, how's Clyde, Bethany and Persilla (sp?)? Hal, Randy and Karen (mine) are still alive and kicking. I hope you're doing OK. My life has been eventful, good and bad. You must be in hog heaven with all the movies finally able to match people's imagination with the CGI and all. Every time I go to one or read a comic, I can't help but think of you, old friend. Yes, you're living rent free in my skull. Stop it. Stop it now...damn, didn't work. I live in Charleston, SC. Great place. Come visit...or else...

Hulk now part of army of Hulks. A-Bomb, Red-Hulk, She-Hulk, Red She-Hulk, Paisley She-Hulk, Hulkcetera. Hulk in big-budget movies. Hulk on red carpets. Hulk's introversion clearly a ploy to get attention.
Hulk still not sure about this social media stuff, kinda defeats the whole purpose of being an introvert, if you ask Hulk...
Just received a spam message on my profile page from someone named Frank David asking me to invest in his gold mining business.
