You can pulp a story, but you can't kill an idea.

That goes right up there with Captain America punching Hitler in the face. They got death threats from Americans because of that. And we thought the tea baggers were bad. Seems comic books are always a year ahead of the rest of America. Except Genosha getting destroyed only predated 9-11 by a few days or so.

That reminds me of that Deep Space 9 episode where Sisko is in the past somehow and is working for a paper and wants to publish this sci-fi story with a black protagonist but they won't let him publish it.

100 Bullets #55 I think the only context necessary here is that Graves probably hasn't fired a shot in decades, mostly because he doesn't need to.

Thanks! It's not as obviously badass as I remember - you kind of have to know how unlikely it is that the round-headed man in the limo wouldn't get his way at any given time.

Ok so that story was in Weird Fantasy #18 right and not #17? The guy who posted the panels said it was in #17 but all the other stuff says it was in #18. Just asking cause #17 is pretty cheap to buy but #18 is alot more and I'd quite like to own it but want to be sure I'm getting the right one.

I'll go out on a limb and say it's #18. The story's pretty famous, so I'd imagine the issue is relatively sought-after and thus pricey. edit: eye kan spel gud Gaz-L fucked around with this message at Apr 24, 2010 around 00:10 |

The Stroker Ace posted:Here's the letters page from the next issue of Weird Fantasy: God, they must have been flying after they got that letter from Bradbury. bardyspoon, according to the Grand Comics Data Base, it was issue 18. Gemstone reprinted the series in the '90s, with the same issue numbering, which might help you track down a copy a little more easily.

I typo'd 17. Also, for perspective, re-read that first letter. Matlock fucked around with this message at Apr 24, 2010 around 02:05 |

I have (or had, not sure where it is) a reprint of that issue. In terrible condition, but when I think about it, it really is one of my favorite things that I own. One of the great classic sci-fi stories.

After reading that story, I suddenly feel a bit silly for thinking that stories about invincible men and dudes who can fire energy from their toes are badass. That was amazing.

Matlock posted:I typo'd 17. After reading the first letter, I was expecting the worst and it end up being a whole page of that(that's what I get for going right to the letters and not reading the intro). Thank god I was wrong, though. I'd be over the moon if Ray Bradbury complimented my work, and they certainly deserve to feel that.

I remember seeing a doc on EC some time ago and this issue came up. If I remember correctly, the censors kept trying to change things until it got to the point that their "gripe" was the perspiration on the astronaut's face. The artist refused to remove it. Here you go by the way http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EC_Com...Judgment_Day.22

Thats so drat funny, the train of thought going from "He can't be black!" to "Well, get rid of the sweat off his face!" AXE COP posted:I don't even understand why he would want to remove that. Did they believe black people couldn't sweat or something? Maybe it was something like if he wasn't sweating then the redneck assholes would be like "Look at that uppity n****r, he on some kinda power trip tellin thems robo men they cant be in his n****r lover club!"

The judge knew he wouldn't get them to pull the story without coming further across as a racist so he decided to nitpick and complain about small things.

Wikipedia Article posted:...Murphy made what he surely thought was a gracious concession. 'All right. Just take off the beads of sweat'. At that, Gaines and Feldstein both went ballistic. 'gently caress you!' they shouted into the telephone in unison. That's pretty drat awesome. All seven pages lurked over at scans_daily at one time - would it be considered  to link to that post?

Bill Gaines is one of the coolest people in comic book history. He was just so good at finding artists and writers who wanted to make cool, scary, violent, funny comic books and it's a shame a quack and the government came down on him like a ton of bricks and killed horror comics for 30 years.

Anyone who's interested in Gaines should check out Dick Debartolo's book Good Days and MAD. It's a great read.

I loved the way he was still trying to say, "I'm Barracuda" right at the very end (um buh um buh). He'd been saying it every time he did something violent throughout the entire series to let everyone know how awesome he thought he was. Then, at his end, he tries to say it again like some sort of charm against what's about to happen to him.

I really do love how the pages leading up to that are POV shots from Barracuda. You see his life flash before his eyes, then his final realization that this is it, he finally has met his match.
