Bismuth posted:I never quite understood what was going on with the Osbornes hair in Spiderman, can anyone explain it to me? Cut in stripes? Really weird cornrows? I've seen modern pictures of the hair too and its still perplexing. I think it's supposed to be like, sheen on slicked back hair.

Alabaster White posted:I think it's supposed to be like, sheen on slicked back hair. Yeah, when the characters first debuted I'm pretty sure it was supposed to represent very sharply combed and oiled hair. The printing methods of the time just meant there wasn't much finesse to a lot of the linework (remember blacks and colour plates were applied separately, so the only way to be sure shading ended up in the right place was to shade with solid black or hatching). Every subsequent generation of artists has just played a weird game of telephone with it ever since.

Curly hair, slicked back. Here is the standard issue Osborne_hair.jpg (To the point that I googled "Norman Osborne hair" and this was the first result): You wonder, does this man even know he's the go-to real life example of an idiosyncratic Steve Ditko hair portrayal? I like to think so.

It does look exactly like the comic though, so I'm guessing thats it. My years of confusion are over.

She also has an immense social circle. Either that or she stakes out random weddings, then pops up out of the bushes with a catcher's mitt as soon as the bouquet is in the air. Gotta be a lot of weddings in Salt Lake... Ci... ... that's really her MO, isn't it?
