proteus_livesGreetings True Believers!
Here's one from the vaults! The Mighty Thor #248 to be exact.
When the Warriors Three hit the Big Apple it's like a kegger/brawl/buffet all rolled into one.
Enjoy!

More Balder & Karnilla Goodness
Apr. 14th, 2011 11:17 pmproteus_livesGreetings True Believers!
I've had a request for B/K goodness so here it is. I do love the way they snap at each other.
While there is much love for the Simonson and JMS runs of Thor (justified) there have been other runs which I feel affection for. Such as Len Wein's.
It's '70s Thor. It's funky and full of adventures. Enjoy!

Stock up on the brain bleach
Jul. 15th, 2010 10:20 pmrecognitionsSo, um. Here's a thing.
As near as I can figure, this is from what started out as a magazine called Rampaging Hulk, later shortened to The Hulk!, that Marvel published in the late Seventies. This particular selection is from a story called "A Very Personal Hell," from issue #23, published in 1980, and was written by Jim Shooter and drawn by John Buscema and Alfredo Alcala.
In it, Bruce is on the run following a botched attempt to steal some information that might give him a clue how to reverse his transformations into the Hulk. He checks into a YMCA to spend the night, and, uh...
Perhaps a word of explanation here. This was right around the time of the smash success of the Incredible Hulk TV series, the whole reason for the Rampaging Hulk magazine's existence in the first place, as Marvel tried to use the series' popularity to capture an upscale market. In that vein, then-editor Shooter apparently decided the magazine would be a good showcase for more "grim-n-gritty" storytelling; less Silver Surfer, more Starsky and Hutch. In that vein, he decided to make his first story for the magazine especially hard-hitting and realistic.
So. Bruce at the Y.

One panel from the Savage Sword of Conan: Completely and gloriously out of context.
Mar. 19th, 2010 03:53 pmproteus_livesGreetings True Believers! This panel from the Savage Sword of Conan #17 makes me laugh. Forget Dr. Drew or Ann Landers, if you need relationship advice or tips on dealing with wenches, you go to Conan of Cimmeria by Crom!

New Wasp, Old Trick.
Dec. 9th, 2009 08:26 amneuhallidaeWhen I posted the introductions of the "Ultimate Comics Avengers" a little while back, something was nagging at me as familiar about bio-terrorist!Wasp's intro. Then, while re-reading some of the Roger Stern run on the 616 Avengers, I found what I was looking for.
Two panels, one from UCA, and one from Avengers #275.

proteus_livesGreetings True Believers! As you may know, I love Conan of Cimmeria. And I love all the old Marvel comics he was in. Conan the Barbarian was in a number of wonderful stories in Marvel grand old What If series. So I selected my favorites and now I present them for your pleasure. By Crom, you shall enjoy it!

schmevil.insanejournal.comReading old Wolverine is turning out to be a strange experience. By the time I got into the character, as a kidlet, he was already nigh unkillable, and Madripoor and the Patch identity were getting passe. Here it's... ostensibly fresh? I don't know - there's just something interesting about these pre-bone-claws, pre-Origins, pre-invasion-of-the-Logan-clones, Wolverine.
It's still Wolverine, with all the cheese that implies, but it's a much more interesting Wolverine. It's a Wolverine who still had some secrets to explore. I guess what I'm saying is that there's a cheeseball charm to it?
Also-- wha-what? Depowered, 80s Jessica Drew? In my Wolverine comics? It is Claremont, and what Claremont story would be complete without a sexy! powerful! dominant! woman, in clothing that resembles bondage gear? Of course, in this story, Jess has become a Claremont girl, via the miracle of demonic possession (Evil Is Sexy!).

Wolverine: Original Recipe
Sep. 17th, 2009 08:36 pmschmevil.insanejournal.comSix pages from Wolverine #1. Not the Miller mini, but the Claremont/Buscema ongoing.
Looking for a "Motto" here, S_D'ers
