"GASLIGHT (1944): I recorded this last week but didn't get around to watching it until tonight. Although I have had the opportunity to watch it several times since the term fell into the popular vernacular, I never saw it until tonight. Seven Oscar…"
This is about the William Burnside Cap and is beyond the scope of this discussion, but it's a really good story and I thought I'd include it for completness' sake. While I'm at it, the four-issue Captain America:…"
"For the 26th month, there are 26 people on this cover (including the vignette of the Thing).
(I would have posted this on the 26th, but I had to verify the count. Some of the bystanders are cropped from the lower left of this image, but check out…"
"Hang on, if he's an advanced space alien, why does he have to bum a ride?
Well, his only other vehicle is a spaceship at the bottom of a lake, whihc would be kind of conspicuous for a clandestine mission.
Yuriko suggests that it's another attack by…"
"I read some issues of McKay's Avengers for some event or other, and was so baffled (they live in a sentient, orbital city?) that I decided...
It is at this point your sentence veered away from where I thought it was going. I try to check in with the…"
"For a more nuanced take on this subject than can be found in Alan Scott: Green Lantern, see Captain America: Patriot #2. Here's what you need to know...

"There is also the reality of learning that people were queer after the fact, because the fact was hidden in the past for social reasons. Alan Scott fits that pattern as a fictional example, as does Wonder Woman.

"At Marvel you also have Black Cat and Kitty Pryde.I think that it is interesting to consider how much easier it is to reveal fictional women as LGBT+ as contrasted to men.My best guess is that female readers are simply generally less bothered by…"
"Once again, all we have is Alan Scott: The Green Lantern...
For exactly the kind of nuanced storytelling you and Philip are looking for regarding the treatment of this subject matter, see Captain America: Patriot #2."
"Other than the obligatory and dubious "c'mon, look at that outfit," jokes.... I don't know that his being gay, in and of itself, scraps continuity, in that a lot of queer folks from that era married, had children, and lived double lives (or in…"
"The Demon doesn't appear again for another two years, when he, his supporting cast and Klarion the Witchboy were brought in for the conclusion of an ongoing storyline concerning a think-tank called the Delphi Foundation in Wonder Woman #280-281. I…"
"While I personally have no problem with any being, real or fictitious, who prefers their own gender romantically, I cannot see why DC felt it necessary to recon Alan Scott and totally scrap 70+ years of continuity in the process."

Jeff, I want to thank you and Tracy for the well-wishes you have given me, just to let you know how touching and thoughtful I think it was. I'm happy to tell you that I'm doing much better and I feel about 99% back to normal. Of course, it's easy to recuperate when all I have to think about is getting better while Adam takes every other burden upon himself. Here on Earth-B he has the reputation of being rather a cranky old cuss, but I know he's as sweet as a puppy! Tell him I said that and I'll blame it on the stroke.
Thank you again, Jeff, for thinking of me and do, please, pass my thanks and best wishes on to Tracy.
Happy new year!
Cheryl
