SUPPORT SUPERFOGEYS ON PATREON
Dawn breaks on a new day (literally) and what a day it is. This really is the chapter that changes a whole bunch of stuff. Some cosmetic, some less so. Fair to say Marc is meeting the artistic challenge and then some.
See you on Tuesday with 903 – Big Dumb Floating Ape!
I was just thinking about the indestrutibility of certain fabrics and underwear in comics, movies, TV, and similar media… Huge blast that annihilates everything? No problem, got my pants where Dr. Bruce Banner buys his trousers
Yeah, it’s one of those things you kind of have to accept as a comic reader. But not as a reader of THIS comic. Cap’s shirt is pretty messed up.
Now you just reminded me that Cap never wanted to wear pants at the beginning of the series. Major character growth here.
That’d be the same tailor that sells Luke Cage his yellow silk shirts.
Seriously, there’s an issue of Power Man & Iron Fist where Luke is picking up the next dozen shirts he’s going to get shot to pieces from his tailor, and as he’s leaving another customer in a trenchcoat and hat pulled down low so you can’t see his face comes in. The last word balloon as the door closes is the tailor telling Doctor Banner his pants are ready.
That sounds absolutely amazing.
It was one of the more weirdly memorable moments of that comic back in the day, along with the time Luke ran into a Bella Lugosi-stereotype vampire at random, winds up hypnotized right out on the sidewalk, and then gets saved by a guy who just happened to have some garlic bread with him while the vamp is still trying to figure out how to bite through that steel-hard skin.
‘Twas not the most serious of books sometimes. Not as comedic as Major Bummer or Ambush Bug, but nowhere near as gritty as later characterizations of either Luke or Danny.
