I meant to post this after the Democratic wins in November. I hope the iconography of the message isn’t too subtle. 😉
The Other Doctor
Here’s something for mih. It’s from 1970, during Wally Wood’s brief return to Marvel.

YIKES! This is one of the least disturbing generative AI videos created by someone, or multiple someones, real or not, named Dietmar Höpfl.
After it runs, click on whatever link takes you to YouTube, then “@shockfactor_ai” to see more. IF YOU DARE!
Or, if you prefer, there’s the horror of Instagram.
Mighty Substack Team-Up
An historian and an economist compliment and complement one another.
He Does What, Exactly?
He does whatever a spider can, of course!
In 1968, Mighty Marvel was undeniably on the move.
Marvel was freed from competitor DC’s restrictive distribution deal and they expanded immediately. The Fantastic Four and Spider-Man were already back-to-back Saturday morning TV cartoons.
Perhaps the most interesting Marvel project in 1968 was The Spectacular Spider-Man, a magazine format comic that ran for only two issues. Like the first two Beatles movies, the first issue was in black & white, and the second was in color. I bought both of them as a 12-year-old in Norwalk, CT.
Marvel is reprinting both issues together, in a smaller format than the originals. The second issue was, itself, smaller than the first.
For the merely curious, who use Kindle on a tablet with a reasonably large screen, the e-book download costs only five bucks.

Maybe there’s some money sitting idly in a forgotten account.
