Batman's dick was the greatest thing DC (Dickless Cucks) had done since Rebirth. Them walking it back shows how cowardly and awful they are.

Does anyone else think that "Dickless Cucks" is the sort of name a character would be given in a story set in one of those fabled "more innocent times"? Like, the male lead in the novel/play/musical/film Show Boat is an 1890s riverboat gambler called "Gaylord Ravenal", a name you'd not see today. Could you imagine a Jack London novel about a grizzled Alaskan gold rush prospector called "Dickless Cucks"?

So I started re-reading Hellblazer and kinda really liked Jamie Delano's stuff, then just finally hit Dangerous Habits and I'm like, nope, Ennis is the master.

The only bad thing I'd ever say about Dangerous Habits is the art/colouring. As far as the story goes, it's just perfect, be it on its own terms, or as an introduction to the character, all of it. That whole scene - sharing a drink with the Devil > loving him up with magic Guinness > gloating and laughing about saving his mate > I've made a huge mistake - is probably my favourite ever.

A strange piece of trivia I learned today: a bunch of fairly big name comics creators all had stories published in an erotic comic series called "Penthouse Comix" because apparently it had the highest ever page rate at the time ($800 per page).

I was reading about these small publisher that sprang up amidst the 90s boom and it perplexed me a bit: who was backing up this softcore porn comic that it could pay top dollar to get Keith Giffen writing stories about superheroes loving?

I really wish that they had finished Afterlife with Archie. That was an entertaining series.

Presumably Bob Guccione, the same multi-billionaire who was behind every other Penthouse thing.

I have now looked some of these comics up and all I can conclude is that people must have been really, really loving desperate before they could get Internet porn. Blegh. Servoret posted:And speaking of NotSuperman erotica, Curt Swan did illustrations for a reprint of Larry Niven's essay "Man of Steel, Woman of Kleenex" for Penthouse Comix. I once saw an example of "noteworthy artist did erotica comics" which was a Russ Heath pirate story which ended with the female pirate captain protagonist sword fighting the male pirate captain villain; since it's a porn comic, they are both fighting in the nude, and the fight ends when she chops his cock off and it falls into the sea and his reaction is approximately, "IT CANNOT BE!" then jumping overboard after it crying, "COME BACK, MY PRECIOUS!" while the crew laughs heartily. I wasn't entirely sure if it was supposed to be comedic. Wheat Loaf fucked around with this message at 10:19 on Oct 3, 2018 |

I know Hughes did. No idea about Maguire. From what little I have seen there is a HUGE amount of Milo Manara but that probably shouldn't come as a surprise. That's where he made his bones (excuse the pun) after all.

Well after reading that description, I certainly laughed. The only way it could have been funnier would have been if it was two pirates sword fighting using the urban dictionary term.

I'm doing a Hellblazer readthrough again and I just realized Chas came up with Ubereats/Caviar 27 years ago.
