Yup, Stan Lee wrote a parody of soap opera comic strips. It's being posted over in the Comic Strips 2024 thread if you want to know more. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=4050878&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=174#post538965713

Jack Kirby drew Romance Comics for a few years, not just comics that were about romance, but a book titled Romance Comics. It sold about 10 times as many issues a month as anything published by the big two today.

If you want people to read your romance comic, you should probably publish it on Webtoon.

That’s were the romance comic readers are right now

She-Hulk seems to be doing well, or at least better than Marvel anticipated given it survived to a second volume. Won me over, and I was on the fence about it for a long time.

Didn't just draw them, he and Simon pioneered them. Young Romance kicked off an unbelievably popular genre.

He's wearing spats, hence no visible laces. The shoes are black because he's not a clown.

The issue has a lot of prime panels and quotes for this thread.

Art sidenote:
Normally Greg Land's presence in comic books boils my brain, but him drawing what is, in-universe, a soulless corporate takeover of Thor's character, is strangely fitting.

This was everything I was hoping it would be and then some. It is a bit weird to have an anti-capitalist message in a Marvel comic, not to mention acknowledgement that corporations making fun of themselves is a way for them to distract from the harm they're doing, but I'll take what I can get.

Marvel comics have had anti-capitalist messages for decades. Sometimes they're ultra blatant, and other times the writers are sneaking what they can past the editors. But this is hardly anything new.

You may already know this, but if you're specifically searching for two-tone dress shoes, look for "spectators."

I feel like it was different earlier though when, even when they were owned by Perlmutter and certainly not broke, still weren't the biggest things in the world. Now they're owned by one of the largest entertainment companies on Earth.

drat, Lois was ice cold in some of these older comics.

Then again, I suppose it's only fair, Clark also is a super-rear end in a top hat in a lot of those golden/silver age ones too.
