I'm pretty surprised that Tony Stark didn't become Iron Man after being bitten by a radioactive iron. There. I said it.

I think Rob Allen has one (or have I confused him with my other pal Bill Wormstedt?). Cei-U! I summon my self-doubt!
I did get a no-prize, which came in an envelope exactly like the one shown. But I lost it a few years later. :-( Sorry about the late reply, it's taken me a while to catch up with the forum after traveling in November. I never got a no-prize, but I did once write to John Byrne, and ask for an autograph. He sent me a business card, on which he wrote "I don't do autographs" and signed it.

Are people here enjoying the 'Gotham Knights, Spoiler Cut' story I've been posting here? classiccomics.org/thread/8330/gotham-knights-spoiler-cutI'm not sure whether I should continue given how much work and how long it takes to write the equivalent of a 40-minute episode each time and how little engagement I've been getting. It doesn't surprise me that Gotham Knights has such a small fanbase that its fanfic readership is practically nonexistent, but there are other stories I could be working on instead that would garner more response for much less work.

Depleted uranium shrapnel, perhaps?

I've really been resisting the urge to say, given that Iron Man's first appearance was in late 1962 and how writing may have gone back then, the iron might have given him the powers and proportionate strength of a housewife.

I'm seeing some discussion on Uncle Scrooge in the current 12 Days of Classic Comics Christmas thread, and he was on my mind recently. Disney has opted to ban from subsequent printings any appearances of Bombie the Zombie...this has made the particular issue spike in value (over $100 on ebay for a book that's from the mid 90s.) I chose not to post the cover just in case someone (who supports that decision) gets offended by it, but was just wondering what others think?

It's the age when you eliminate all things from history that you don't like. Soon that will be all things that exist.

Not reprinting racist material does not remove it from history. And a private company can publish or not publish anything they want.
As my current location is South Africa, I find Disney's decision wise.

I guess the Spirit stories should be burned as well. What’s next , stories that say we never had slavery in America ? We learn from past events no matter how ugly they might be.

Who has burned any Spirit stories or Duck stories? Show us where. Because I suspect that that hasn't happened. Though, to be fair, the state government in Florida is desperately trying to make it look like we didn't have slavery...or at least that it wasn't that bad, in their history classes.

Oh...and just by way of actual information, Voodoo Hoodoo was reprinted in a completely uncensored form in The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library Vol. 7: Lost in the Andes, by Fantagraphics, in 2011. That's the first time it has EVER been reprinted in an uncensored forn in the U.S. It is one of the least reprinted Barks stories worldwide for a very good reason. When it was first reprinted in the U.S., the first time since its original appearance in 1949, it was censored. That was in 1986, which is well known as being the height of Wokeness and Politically Correctness.
Where's my eyeroll emoji?
