Here's some comic book shills from the 70s, i.e. comic characters pitching hair care products in a TV commercial...

Slab-lovers will be gasping as they watch Seuling and Mike Douglas manhandle these comics. And does anyone recognize that "comedian" on the far right, next to Jamie Farr? I feel about him the way the young Alvy Singer felt about Joey Nichols. Fabian is on the far left and Jerry Lester is on the far right. Ah, yes. Lester hosted the prototype of the Tonight Show, called Broadway Open House. He actually was a funny guy. Fabian was a kid from Philly, the city from which the Douglas show originated.

William Stout (who I am really looking forward to meeting as he is a guest at this year's Gem City Comic Con) on inking Jack Kirby; Who album covers, Hal Foster and more...

Thanks for posting mrp. I am currently digesting the Kirby New Gods Artist Edition, and what Stout says is so true, it's not just the dynamic panels and drawing that makes him King, but the way he tells a story is unsurpassed. Panel to panel it just sings.

This is the first I've ever seen Phil Seuling and I had no idea Jamie Farr was such a fan. It surprised me too that Jamie Farr knew so much, so many details, especially about some relatively obscure characters! And I loved how when Seuling held up Jungle Comics, Farr immediately made the Fiction House association and mentioned Planet Comics. Very impressive, knowing publishers other than the Big Two and knowing the different publishers' wares. And yes, I know that Farr misstated that it was Sheena on the cover of that Jungle Comics book Seuling held up -- Sheena actually appeared in Jumbo Comics, a sister comic of Jungle Comics -- but that was a minor blip. It was a lot of fun watching these passionate and knowledgeable people talking about old comics -- thanks @mrp!

Yeah, when I first watched that clip a few years ago, I remember thinking, "Man, Farr really knows his stuff..."

Re-reading some early issues of DC's Plop!, I noticed something odd in the first couple of issues: There are several instances in which the host characters explain (or reiterate) the punchlines of a story or single-panel cartoon. Just weird.

yeah, strange: not even a bad pun or gag of any kind, just a straight recap of the punchline. I wonder if Aragones drew those nice framing panels and some other person was given the task of writing something to put in them.

Poking around further in Jim Shooter's blog, I found a series in 2011 in which he analyzed several DC New 52 issues for clarity of storytelling. Red Hood and the OutlawsCatwomanBatmanIn the comments on one of these posts, Shooter denies having mandated that Chris Claremont end the Kitty Pryde/Colossus romance due to their age difference: Claremont did not indicate them having sex, but he did show Kitty frequently pursuing physical intimacy with Peter, including one time he turned her down for sex. Given that "Days of Future Past" showed Peter and Kitty married in the future, Claremont was obviously herding the story in that general direction.

A while back in one of these threads we were discussing the pronunciation of Ka-Zar (kuh-ZAR vs KAY-ZAR). I don't remember what we said at the time, but it has haunted me. Today I stumbled across Stan Lee's opinion on the matter in Daredevil #24.

Today I stumbled across Stan Lee's opinion on the matter in Daredevil #24. Nice! But which syllable do you think is emphasized? I go with Kay-ZAR. And do we have a definitive ruling on Tarzan? Is it TAR-zan or tar-ZAN? I hear it both ways. Is there a preferred pronunciation?

Today I stumbled across Stan Lee's opinion on the matter in Daredevil #24. Lee had already made his opinion known on X-Men #10's splash page. Is it known which way Bob Byrd liked to pronounce his Ka-Zar's name?

The original art for the very first Flash Gordon comic strip by Alex Raymond will be going up for auction at the end of March at Profiles in History. The auction preview can be seen here including pics of the page. from the auction catalog... the image is over 2 pages inthe catalog, so split here between left half and right half... Here is one of the pieces from Look magazine, one is the magazine article itslef and the other is the original art, but both will be behind spoiler tags because there is a topless image in it... Certainly some interesting artifacts of comic history, but well out of my price range -M
