I recommend ShareX for Windows. It's freeware built off the code for Greenshot and expanded to be able to do video. Not only does it create monthly folders for your screenshots, but it'll also capture the mouse pointer. I use it all the time.

Why do the super-teams always gotta punch each other first? I do love Professor X's Assault Wheelchair, from which he uses his incredible mutant power of Gun.

Galaxy Green is very strange. In the early 1970s he'd pitched a number of new format experiments beyond the staple-bound floppy to DC, including a tabloid-format anthology modeled on the then-booming underground comix digests, which he'd call Uncle Carmine's Fat City Comix (after Carmine Infantino of course).

Galaxy Green was going to be one of the serials in it, Kirby's capitulation to the burgeoning wave of adult comics with sexual themes a la Robert Crumb. He couldn't quite conceive of making the leap to much more than some weird Barbarella-tinged raciness (he'd also turned down periodic work at Playboy), but his pages for the series are still both unmistakeably Kirby and a much different tone than you might expect from him.

Wow, that is really odd! Out of context it reminds me of Victor Moscoso:

That's a really good comparison I think, especially looking at the Kirby page as a thumb-nail-- there's a weird springy, rubbery flow to the action that is very uncharacteristic of how I usually think of his page layouts.

It makes me wish there was a more thorough record out there of what Kirby was reading/looking at and when (unless there is and I just don't know about it) because it seems like he was taking this "I will do a Zap Comix style anthology for DC" remit pretty seriously and I would to know what his research was like, what his touchstones were, etc.. I remember reading that he was consulting with Wally Wood about this, unless I'm totally misremembering?

I only have excellent ideas
Here's a snippet from a 1999 Comic Book Artist interview with Mark Evanier:

quote:

CBA: What was the idea behind Superworld?

MARK: Jack wanted to do a comics tabloid. He was looking for new formats to put comics into. Now, he wasn't the first person thinking about it-it was an idea that was in the air. He envisioned a weekly magazine/newspaper, maybe monthly, that would cover all the arts-film, television, dance, theater, everything, and there'd be a large comics section in it that would bring all these different forms together. He saw comics as the convergence of all these different art forms into one. So, he told this idea to various people at DC-not just Infantino, but also other folks at Independent News who could distribute such a publication. I don't think anyone understood what he was proposing but that wasn't their fault. One of the problems Jack had was, the way he talked, people often didn't understand what he pitched them. When he started talking about an idea, he went off in all directions at once, skipping over the basics, almost daring the listener to keep up with him. His style was not always conducive to conveying what he envisioned. Still, he was so hot on this idea that no one seemed to understand so he said, "Let's show it to them! Let's do a mock-up of this book!" Steve and I threw this thing together, calling in favors from friends, using different people we knew.

CBA: Was there any relationship between the concept of Uncle Carmine's Fat City Comix and Superworld?

MARK: Not really. I don't think Uncle Carmine's Fat City Comix was actually a serious proposal. What I recall was that we had talked about Superworld, we had also talked about a tabloid of all underground comix, similar to Gothic Blimp-works. Jack had come up with Fat City Comix as a possible title and Steve and I each designed title logos. As I recall, Steve said, "Let's call it 'Uncle Carmine's Fat City Comix,'" and he did a little caricature of Carmine as part of his proposed logo. That's as far as it got. I don't think we ever submitted anything. It was just kind of a talking point.

CBA: It was somewhat provocative material for Jack Kirby, right?

MARK: Up to a point, yeah. You know, the thing about "Galaxy Green," that strip he did, was that we had talked to Jack about erotic comics, and Jack felt he could not do them; that he was not physically able to sit down and do something as adult as he knew an adult strip would have to be to be commercial. It was a very strange situation, in that Jack felt there was a huge market out there that wasn't being tapped. In fact, he was talking to Wally Wood during this period, and he encouraged Wood greatly in that direction. But Jack felt that he could not draw a strip with naked women in it.

CBA: Well, with "Galaxy Green," Jack was doing sexy material.

MARK: What you saw there was Jack going as far as he felt he could-that's what "Galaxy Green" was. It was almost an experiment. That was about as dirty as he could make it. Today, it looks relatively tame.

CBA: In the Days of the Mob had prostitutes and a lot of heaving-bosom shots.

MARK: Yep. That was about as far as he could go. I'll tell you an interesting story. It was an issue of Forever People where Jack drew the splash page with Beautiful Dreamer in a bikini bathing suit-a two-piece-and it was very sexy. After the inks came back from Mike Royer, but before Jack had sent the issue off to New York, a group called the UCLA Campus Comics and Science-Fiction Society made a field trip to Jack's studio. It was a group of eight or nine comics fans who all met every week at UCLA. They saw this page, and got all excited about it and Jack thought these 19-year-old guys were getting too worked up about a sexy drawing. After they left, he took a bottle of India ink and he blacked-in the swimsuit, turned it from a two-piece into a one-piece. [laughter] He had unleashed something much randier than he had intended. In hindsight, Jack even admitted it was a silly panic.

So I guess I was wrong about how committed Kirby was to the idea!

This is FF #180 by the way, I looked it up on Unlimited because the 1977 copyright confused me because he went left Fantastic Four (and Marvel) in 1970, but it looks like either he did a fill in when he came back or this was an older unpublished story used as a fill in, because Stan Lee was also credited as writer, and the book before and after it was by Roy Thomas and Ron Wilson (and Gerry Conway on plot #179)

Sadly the answer is way less interesting than either of those-- #180 is just a reprint of #101 with a new cover. The only intriguing thing is the little editorial note explaining that "the old triple-D caught Roy [Thomas] unawares this month" which I can only assume meant that Roy Thomas got wrapped up in a cross-time Guy Fieri marathon.

That look is because he's actually sitting on the tire itself and his rear end is getting erased by the rubber unstable molecules.

Still, it's good to see a classic Spazzfrag Spacehawg, before Lobo chops it.
