The thing is there ARE grey people. Tombstone, as noted. Which makes it even more confusing.

NorgLyle posted:As a young (and it should probably be noted: super white) comic reader, it never even occurred to me that Asp' s coloration was anything other than a part of her powers. Yikes. It's not just you, I always thought she was gray because she was Atlantean or something.

I think Tombstone is an African-American albino (or has some sort of weird defect that doesn't quite make him a capital-M Mutant; I can't look it up now but I remember his childhood with Joe Robertson being a big deal for several years' worth of stories). So that just confuses matters all the more. I thought Asp's gray skin was "part of her deal" for a while, too, but I know I read other Marvel comics in which the Middle Eastern types were also gray, at which point I sort of got it. Like, I don't think gray skin is a particularly weird thing in a universe full of strangeness, but if it's intended to reflect something in real life, then, well. Someone upthread mentioned the Gabe Jones coloring issue in an old SHIELD story in Strange Tales. I remember that, too, but he seemed almost purplish, in my memory, so I think that may have been an accident. There was a letter published in an issue of Captain America during the infamous Secret Empire arc (of all things) in which a writer asks about the skin coloring issue, and gets a fairly lengthy response. The scan I have seems to have a line from the original letter digitally erased, though, and I don't have an original copy against which to compare it, but they do mention the limitations of the four-color process.

apropos to the present conversation, I just read today an old issue of Jonah Hex from the seventies which had a number of African-American characters in it (most of that story's cast in fact), and every single one of them was also slate-gray. It was weird, because issues before it wouldn't color that ethnicity that way.

The colour thing that I always noticed was how in the Bob Latin and David Michellene Iron-man stories from the 80's, Tony Stark was made to look like his hair had blue highlights. That's the one I always found weird.

I think that's intended to imply it's shiny and show reflection of light.

The Question IRL posted:The colour thing that I always noticed was how in the Bob Latin and David Michellene Iron-man stories from the 80's, Tony Stark was made to look like his hair had blue highlights. Superman was doing that all the way back in the day. That's an extremely old trick to show definition in black hair with a very limited palette.

Harbinger #15 and #16. Torque is sort of a frail-Steve-Rogers-into-mighty-Captain-America type if Steve Rogers was less of a selfless idealist and more of a complete tool over-saturated by toxic masculinity. He's still a good guy, but... not great at comforting his teammates.

Holy poo poo I thought it was just me. It confused the hell out of 10 year old me as to why Tony had seemingly bright blue hair in some panels and nobody ever reacted to it.

Wait, around the middle. Is that the doctor who didn't want to cure cancer, he wanted to turn people into dinosaurs? That's the only pterodactyl bad guy I can think of.
