"This is a straight western with a non-straight lead. If you prefer your gay character to be either goody-two-shoes with absolutely no characteristics that identify them as gay, or, even worse, cookie-cutter victims of societal oppression, then this ain’t the book for you."
- Axel Alonso

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.

One Perfect Moment: Norman Osborn
Aug. 1st, 2010 06:34 pmproteus_livesGreetings True Believers! This is my last post for OPM week and it's one of my favorites, for two reasons.
1. This issue of "Spider-Man's Tangled Web" features one of the best parts of any comic-verse. The villain bar. I love scenes of villains just hanging out, grousing about heroes, comparing notes and relaxing. Which is why I included a few scans of just that.
2. This story is an example of the fact that Norman Osborn doesn't need a costume, glider or control of an international martial agency to be one of the scariest motherfuckers on the planet.
Enjoy!
