I remember Perez looking a lot larger than that in 1992. And that looks like it might have been Roy Thomas when he was editor-in-chief of Marvel.

No. They were taken from lots of different sources/times. The Bob Kane card uses an image that has to be from the fifties or earlier:  My guess is that they just went with images that they could get as cheaply and easily as possible. And it was apparently hard to get Todd to show up and NOT be shirtless at that time. When he "debated" Peter David in 1993, he decided it was a good idea to do that bare chested:

Random Stranger posted:00000001 You're one digit off. When Kennedy's administration mandated that all SAC nukes be protected from unauthorized or accidental arming, LeMay (the SAC commander) ordered that all of them be set to 00000000. Naturally, this has since been changed. The new PAL codes are alpha-numeric and are 8-12 digits combined with sensors (so a bomb or MIRV can deactivate itself if someone tries the Hollywood staple of hotwiring it to blow in place).

(no this wasn't the cover that made Sega get heated. In that one Sally was gonna marry Shadow.)

There is not a single way that the UK Sonic The Comic does not blow the poo poo out of the American version. Not a single way. We had goddamn *Decap Attack* storylines going regularly. We had Mutant League Football. We had Mark Millar on Streets of Rage. I can feel your jealousy already.

Why do almost all the British comics I've seen have this weird skuzzy look to them Were they just printed on incredibly lovely paper, or was it part of the style to feel garish and grimy and covered in lint? Some sort of Thatcherian zeitgeist?

STC was my favourite comic growing up, and I still have a lot of affection for it. There were a lot of really cool ideas in that comic. Gavok posted:Don't forget Eternal Champions. Have you seen the Eternal Champions poster mag Fleetway they did? It had character profiles which listed each character's greatest fear, except they went out of their way to try and link their greatest fear to the manner of their death. It was fine for Shadow, whose fear was heights because she was thrown out of a skyscraper, or Xavier's fear of fire because he was burned at the stake, but then you got Trident, who had "an unusual fear of pillars" because he was crushed by a pillar. Larcen also had "an unusual dislike of tagliatelle" because he was killed on the orders of his boss, Mr Tagliani.

Decap was the best non-Sonic strip by far. I didn't start reading until after the point where it was the last one left, but when I went back and re-read the back issues, they were easily the strongest. Which isn't to say the other stuff was bad by any means, of course.

zoux posted:Is that parodizing the same comic that Shooter wrote and drew when he was like five years old or something? It's a parody of the first appearance of the Legion of Superheroes in Adventure Comics #247. That particular issue is by Otto Binder and Al Plastino. Some years later, beginning with Adventure Comics #346, a 14-year old Jim Shooter began writing and doing stick-figure layouts for the Legion features, which he would do for a number of years. So you were almost right. Kind of.
