Endless Mike posted:I really need to read these. I was about nine when Star Wars came out so I devoured anything related to it, including the comics. This early in the game the writers and artists didn't yet understand that the character design of Star Wars was a big change from old fashioned stuff like Flash Gordon so they filled the pages with goofy looking aliens and traditional fantasy/sci-fi bullshit. That rabbit character...god that was awful. I recall one character, a bounty hunter that I think was a cyborg (unless I'm mixing him up with someone else) and his story was pretty grim. He came to a bad end that was well done but didn't mesh at all with how dumb the writing usually was. Definitely could've used more of that. There was a slew of terrible Star Wars inspired stuff in that early period and it was uniformly bad. At least there were some good artists involved though, like Howard Chaykin and Walt Simonson. EDIT: The newspaper comic was pretty flaccid but looked and felt more like part of the Star Wars universe, probably thanks to Russ Manning. He was capable of some pretty trippy stuff though, like one of my favorite childhood comics: Magnus, Robot Fighter! Dick Trauma fucked around with this message at 17:12 on Jul 8, 2015 |

I'm tickled that it's 2015 and comic books are still drawing on imagery from the 1980s when I last collected them, in this case Phoenix getting zapped. Has it always been iconic, or is this just a random thing? EDIT: vvvvv But didn't all that come long after X-Men 137? Unless I'm remembering it wrong I thought this was a call-back to the panel where she gets blasted after combat with Lilandra's team on the moon. EDIT 2: This one. Forgive me if I'm getting everything mixed up. I haven't followed comics closely for a very long time.

As someone who first encountered the DC Captain Marvel in the early 1970s it's strange to see such a cartoony, lightweight character drawn into the grimdark stuff that comics turned into. It's like seeing Bugs Bunny mixed in with all the death and destruction. And now someone's going to tell me that Bugs Bunny also received the grimdark makeover at some point.

I should've been clearer in the question but being out of comics for so long has left me rather confused with all the contortions the characters have been through over the decades. I really should have said "Are any of these the original characters from back in the 60s-70s-80s?" Since most characters never die or retire I forget sometimes that there are ones that pass on their name to a new character, like with Ms. Marvel.

Also goddamn if the Vision and Iron Man show up to save me I'm not going to complain about it. But maybe if the late 1970s Defenders show up... Cancer-talk: I would've been okay with someone getting me healing stones or a magic elixir to cure it, but I would've wanted a second opinion from Doctor Strange.

NmareBfly posted:You're fine! Sorry, I just get a bit sensitive with this stuff because every time a mantle changes hands these days people come out of the woodwork with the 'why don't they just make new chararacters!' crap. My contention is basically always that this is a new character and the old one is probably still around. Marvel's actually done a good job with most of the torch-passing imo. I like the stuff that was just posted about these newer characters. I'm always tickled to see such old material find new life.

Choco1980 posted:So...Jane lost all her hair in less than a week on Chemo? That's uh...not how that works. But you need Strange around to find out if those healing stones will also doom you to 1,000 years of undeath in the unholy service of some necromancer. Not that there's anything wrong with that. EDIT: With health insurance you can get that 1,000 years down to just 250!

I remember reading the Mad Magazine parody "Plastic Sam" in a reprint back in the 1970s. The original is from 1954 and features the "Plastic Man as clothing" gag as well as a sort of horrifying way to injure him. (Both on the left hand page)

Back in the 1970s the local bookstore would often sell bags of comic books, many stripped of their cover. My brother and I would gorge on them now and then and pile up loads of 1960s stuff for cheap.

When my 80 year old dad was a boy he used to collect comic books. His mom threw them all out when he graduated from high school. Last night we were talking about how old characters like Batman and Wonder Woman are still very popular, and he mentioned that one of his favorites from childhood was Plastic Man. Thanks to the SA comic book threads I was able to inform him that PM is still around, and he was amazed and pleased. So... thank you comic book people.
