Wu Who?

Today I was asked an out-of-nowhere question by my eldest sister. “Do you remember meeting Michelle Wu?” Boston mayor Michelle Wu? Uh, no.

At my nephew’s wedding in 2006, Wu was his wife’s maid of honor, and when I was told that, I remembered her at the ceremony and reception. In a toast to the happy couple, Wu gave a moving speech that had some people in tears, wait staff as well as invited guests.

My First Favorite Marvel Artist

John Romita became my first favorite Marvel artist with the first Marvel Comic I bought, Daredevil #19.

Daredevil #19, 1966

Romita wasn’t a flashy artist, and he wasn’t a fast artist. He was a dedicated, hard-working professional whose attractive style greatly expanded the popularity of Spider-Man after the departure of co-creator Steve Ditko.

John Romita passed away in his sleep Monday night at age 93, leaving us with one fewer of the few remaining comic book creators of the Silver Age.
