Rawhide Kid #1

[history79]

TUCKER CARLSON: But Mr. Lee, I know for years in comic books, Carl Barks wrote about this before he died, the people who wrote comic books made some attempt to keep politics out of them and heavy-handed social statements out of them with the idea that children read them and you ought not to impose those views on kids.

STAN LEE: This isn't political. Years ago, I did a book called "Sergeant Fury and His Howling Commandos." His platoon consisted of a Jewish fellow named Izzy Cohen, an Italian named Deno Minelli, a black named Gabriel Jones, and so forth.

Now, we weren't making a political statement, and nobody ran out after buying the book and decided "I'm going to become Jewish" or "I'm going to become Italian." People read it. They enjoyed it. That was it.

He's pretty charming, I like him!

That Annie Oakley answer took such a weird turn as it essentially ends with him stating that she's so attractive, but not to him. Like why did he need to say that, why not just stop with how wonderful and smart she is.

He was asked if he went out with Annie Oakley, and he's saying that he didn't, but the reason why he didn't was because of him, not her.

Might be saying it a little clumsily, but that's how I read it.

Ah, I missed the question on going out and I thought it was a just general answer. Now it makes much more sense.

he's a man who talks too much, he wants you to know every end of his opinion !

Between that and the comment about the Lone Ranger, I kind of got the idea that the writer was trying to sell this character as gay.

[thezmage]

That is what this mini is about

Some of what Stan Lee says reminds me of a line from Stephen King's IT. "Politics always change. Stories never do."

Aww, he's cute. Do-gooding vigilante who's a fan of other vigilantes. And I can tell this book's definitely going to bring the beefcake...
