Wonder Woman by Simone de Beauvoir ... I've never, ever heard of this name and this name that you've picked for Wonder Woman and I'm really curious about this selection here. Care to briefly explain why? French existentialist writer and feminist, author of The Second Sex. Germaine Greer and Erica Jong would also work. Also add Edith Hamilton. |

I think she wrote something about Wonder Woman in an article once, around the time they changed WW into an Emma Peel style character. |

I'm desperately trying to find the right vehicle for Raymond Chandler. And I'm having a really hard time. Help me out here. I don't know, but I demand that it be drawn by Gene Colan. |

I think she wrote something about Wonder Woman in an article once, around the time they changed WW into an Emma Peel style character. WW appeared on the premiere issue of Ms magazine and Steinum wrote an essay for a collection of classic WW stories.  I read somewhere (maybe Will Jacobs & Gerard Jones The Comic Book Heroes) that the focus from Steinum helped push DC into putting her back in the costume. |

I would love to see an issue of Chris Claremont's X-Men re-scripted by Dave Barry.

Howard The Duck by Lenny Bruce
"Darwin's theory is as dead as he is. Everyone is surviving, fit or not. Years ago, any kid dumb enough to chase a shiny object down a well was dead, and out of the gene pool. Now they got the technology and medicine to save the fool so he can breed more open mouth breathers.Waugh"

Ernest Hemingway should have been brought in to edit anything that Don McGregor ever wrote or any JSA/All-Star Squadron stuff late-career Roy Thomas did.

Rod Serling could have edited and written the occasional story for an anthology series like Warren's Eerie or Creepy.

Fredrich Nietzsche -- Thanos Perhaps - but I think Thanos would cut a sorry figure if written by Nietzsche, who derided and rejected nihilism as a wish for the end, for nothingness, on the part of a weak, decadent, abortive spirit. Actually Darkseid would be the better representative of the Nietzschean philosophy as the pure embodiment of the will to power. |

Actually Darkseid would be the better representative of the Nietzschean philosophy as the pure embodiment of the will to power. I think my interest is that yeah Nietzsche was much more than a nihilist and Thanos is a superficial nihilist. But I think he'd add so much more complexity to Thanos than Starlin's first preoccupation with Death and the ending of all life for her. Nietzsche would give him more depth in how he viewed the world at the time and his views on religion, which Starlin heavily saturates in the Warlock/Thanos relationship. To me Starlin writes about religion as I would/have. Angry and vengeful. But the reason Nietzsche clicks with me is his take on religion and it's affect of man is so much more intellectual than mine. Sure he shows emotion and distain for religion but he always tempers it with logic. Something Thanos fancies himself good at. With Starlin helming Thanos there's always a motivation of emotion but a superficial facade of intellect. I think that's something Nietzsche would excel at. As far Darkseid I can't comment much. I've always seen him as a two dimensional warlord/dictator with no motivation other than power over others. Seemingly different than Thanos' obsession with power forcthe sake of power. But I'm certainly not expert on Darkseid's motivations. |
