"The Kirby homage in #12 is to the original sequence from Fantastic Four #102. A monarch of the blood must ever be obeyed, and speak Latin."
"An even closer match is the cover of Hit Comics #1 from a few months earlier, which has detailing on the ship that makes what it is more apparent. That cover is unrelated to the story inside."
"I think the red arc on the left is the prow of a ship, and he's hanging from the anchor chain. The design reminds me of Military Comics #2, where the arc in the distance is the mouth of a sewer the characters are inside. In that case the scene…"
"In Roy Thomas's work there were sometimes stealth homages. I've not read All-Star Squadron #41, so I can't guess whether it's a case. The Crimson Avenger origin from Secret Origins is based on a Golden Age Flash story.

"Cats are carnivores, and apparently it can be bad for them to eat too much fruit. The page Google found for me, "What Human Food Can Cats Eat?", article by Sandra C. Mitchell, says watermelon is high in sugar for them so they should only get small…"
"The Lobo one looks like a rock album homage."
"In the 1970s/80s captions were often pasted onto the original art. If the foreign publishers were sent flats with the English text presumably they pasted their text over it, but it could be by 1991 textless flats were prepared for the foreign…"
"The ongoing was followed by a 1979-1980 B&W The Tomb of Dracula. (The GCD calls the colour title Tomb of Dracula and the B&W "The" etc.) I've read somewhere there was a decision to split off the mature side of the Marvel line into B&Ws. The colour…"
"The conclusion of the Showcase #101-#103 story built on the Equalizing Plague storyline from Justice League of America. In Justice League of America #109 Hawkman's mission on Earth ended and he returned to Thanagar. #117 established the population…"
"At the JLA Christmas party:
The Question: Why is Aquaman a better detective than Batman?
Batman: Aquaman is not a better detective than me.
The Question: Because he knows when something's fishy!
Batman: I'm a better detective than Aquaman. He's the…"

"Do you remember if the story was colour or B&W? Marvel published the colour Giant-Size Dracula for five issues (with pre-Code reprints in the back) and the B&Ws Dracula Lives and Vampire Tales, and (if Jeff will pardon me for getting ahead of him)…"
"In Hawkman #19 Adam and Alanna only appear briefly. Hawkman and Adam independently come up with a plan to find Thanagar that Hawkman follows, leaving Adam on Rann.
I'm unable to tell what grounds the GCD has for ascribing Adam's stories in Mystery…"

"Re Ultra, obviously the writer extrapolated that in the future the world will be divided between historic theme park zones with citizens required to observe social norms appropriate to their zone, as an extension of contemporary efforts to protect…"
"The membership of the JSA was mostly constant from All-Star Comics #24/#25. These issues appeared during a period when AA's publisher Max Gaines seems to have been trying to break with DC. He switched to the use of an AA badge, and the active DC…"
"If I understand Wikipedia correctly the Alley Awards were awarded the year after the named year of award so e.g. the vote for the 1961 awards was tallied in 1962. Apparently a convention was first held in Mar 1964.
The Spectre won hero/heroine most…"

"The teaser page of Robotmen of the Lost Planet has Lawrence's signature. The story is unsigned, and the GCD's attribution is to Fawcette. But the art looks a lot alike, and I've found similar faces in other stories with Lawrence's signature, so I…"

Henry K has asked me to relay an invitation to you: I'd appreciate it if you could let Luke Blanchard, Phillip Portelli, and anyone else who posted in my "NEW GODS", "WESTERNS" and "BIBLE" threads know about my KIRBY LAND group.
After a Jack Kirby Fan Group forum was hijacked by an unscrupulous individual on Facebook, Henry began his own forum, titled "Kirbyland" where he, and like-minded individuals continue to promote their beliefs on Facebook.
He wanted you to know.
