"Lucky, that.
From Strange Adventures #9."
"Rozakis's view of Duela's age was - my paraphrase - one doesn't have to be consistent about comparative ages.
There's a bit in Batman Family where Duela says her father resented her birth because he wanted twins. That indicates…"
"It is? "Corbeau" is "raven" in French."
"I've not seen the pencils: that would be the guy Spider-Man is webbing, I think? He's not Father Time but Fawcett's version of Captain Midnight, the radio hero, but with Captain Marvel's wrist-pieces instead of gloves. Captain…"
"Dr Light's appearance in #44 explains his use in New Teen Titans in the 80s.
Bumblebee resembles a black superheroine who appeared in Skywald's B&W title Hell-Rider in 1971.
I think Mal is wearing a helmet or cowl with an open face…"
"That's how that last year strikes me too. In the later 1960s the companies transitioned to having the original art done on a smaller page size. I've seen it argued that one effect was the amount of dialogue was cut back, and I think it…"
"Superboy and Captain Future"
"The Sub-Mariner/Magneto storyline was likely Lee's; it's a return to stuff he did with Kirby in the first third of the run, and Namor's occupation of New York recycles Fantastic Four Annual #1. To my surprise, Mike's Amazing…"
"Plotting involves coming up with ideas and working the stories out in detail. It's certain Lee and Kirby both came up with plot ideas. I think the plotting-in-detail was more usually Lee's early on and Kirby's later. The SHIELD…"
"I think more of this stuff has gone on than we realise: comics influencing movies and TV. The super-car in The Spy Who Loved Me can be explained as an updated version of the Aston Martin, but it's awfully like the ones from the 1960s SHIELD…"
"The central twist of "While the World Spins Mad!" was reused from "The World Beyond" in Strange Tales #122. I don't mean this as a slam: I find such things interesting."
"Robert Bernstein certain wrote for Atlas: O'Hearn has posted was credited in the artist's signature on Black Rider stories he did with Jay Scott Pike. The character is a copy of the Durango Kid, a movie character played by Charles…"
"Apparently, "The Princess in the Atom" in #25 was by Ray Cummings and continued in #26. Martin O'Hearn has a post on Ray Cummings's work on "Captain America" here.
"Golden Girl" from #66 was written by…"
"Re Superman 2020, it was a back-up feature in the vein of the 30th century Superman stories of the 1960s. 2020 was depicted as an era of futuristic fashions and fantastic technology like flying cars. New Metropolis was an aerial city. The hero was…"
"I think it does matter in Shang-Chi's case. It's what sets him apart from other martial arts heroes, and their conflict is the strong storyline connected to the character."

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.
