Did Lex Luthor lose his Kryptonite ring? It infected him with radiation, after prolonged exposure and caused a cancer that first took his hand, then killed his body, before his mind was transferred to a cloned body. Superman ended up with the ring and gave it to Batman, for safekeeping, in case Superman ever fell under someone's control again (I think that was after the Eradicator storyline; but, don't quote me on that). |

And then Luthor became President and started injecting kryptonite into his bloodstream - never quite understood that seeing as how just wearing a kryptonite ring nearly killed him. |

The curator looks more than a little like the older Adrian Edmondson, from the Young Ones.......  (with wife Jennifer Saunders, creator and star of Absolutely Fabulous) ...which is probably better than looking like the younger Edmondson, on The Young Ones.....  |

I thought this might be of interest to those outside the UK. One late 80s Hulk title saw the Hulk sharing a comic with Indiana Jones, Doctor Who, and Action Force. Here’s an ad:  |

Here’s an ad: It would be cooler if he was facing off against Doctor Who, Action Force and Indiana Jones, on the covers. I think Doctor Who would have won him over with a jelly baby. Action Force wouldn't be able to hit him with any of their weapons and Indiana Jones would probably just crap his pants. |

Today I learned that both René Goscinny and Maurice De Bevere (Morris) spent time at the Charles William Harvey Studio (Will Elder, Harvey Kurtzman), before working on Asterix and Lucky Luke.
So that was interesting.

From the letters page of Doom Patrol #119, May-June 1968; Murray Boltinoff, editor.
Dear Editor,
I've been wondering some time now what the script and artwork look like. Would appreciate.
Alan Goldsmith
Morenci, Mich.
You can stop your wondering, Alan, and join the crowd of curious comic collectors who've been banging on our door. The story resembles a movie script, with each page devoted to individual panels that are broken down into scene descriptions for the artist and the dialogue, which we call, balloons, because of their shape. On Page 1, the introduction is known as the Blurb, and the big illustration, the Splash. The drawings are done on sheets, 10" x 15". The pencils are done first, and after they've been reviewed by the editor, the pages go to the letterer, who inserts the balloons and captions. The inking follows, and the final, complete job is delivered to the editor, who checks out the pages again. From there it goes to the Production Dept., and that's how comic history is made. -Ed.

Students protesting the war in Gaza recently occupied the library at Portland State University for three days. Yesterday's newspaper brought this: PSU library occupation: Dark Horse Comics collection appears intact, archivist sayswww.oregonlive.com/education/2024/05/psu-library-occupation-dark-horse-comics-collection-appears-intact-archivist-says.html"Portland State University’s popular Dark Horse Comics collection appears intact, though a full inventory must be done to confirm that, the university’s archivist says. Early reports that the collection might have been stolen from Millar Library during a three-day protest occupation likely stemmed from a misunderstanding, said Cristine N. Paschild, the university archivist and head of PSU’s special collections." |

Just ran across this gem from Marie Severin, along with the key of who the beachgoers are! Seen recently on Facebook. There are a few differences with the key shown above: "Here's the complete list written by Roy Thomas. The Bullpen personnel on the splash page of SUB-MARINER #19 were all drawn by Marie Severin, without prior consultation with me or, far as I know, anybody else. She just drew them. Above the unconscious Namor is John Verpoorten (with camera); behind him is Marie Severin herself; to her right, with glasses, is me--Roy Thomas; below me is, Morrie Kuramoto; leaning over Namor is Gary Friedrich; crouching behind him in an orange bikini is Jean Thomas; at top, running towards the group, is Tony Mortellaro; the bald guy at top right in a baby blue shirt is Larry Lieber (the man holding the child and woman with red hat surrounding Larry are Marie's friends); waving to the reader at middle right in a grey long sleeve shirt is Stu Schwartzberg; lower down, in the yellow Hawaiian t-shirt, is Sol Brodsky; beside him with the red towel is Jack Kirby; behind Jack in light green is Don Heck; grinning at the reader above the credits in orange is Bill Everett (Namor's creator); gasping in awe in the striped tank top is Herb Trimpe; above Herb, with the goatee, is Stan Lee; behind Stan is Nancy Murphy; beside Stan is John Romita (with white towel); the lady with the green bathing cap next to John Verpoorten is Susan Lane; behind Susan is Frank Giacoia." |

roy Thomas should write a story tying together all the various roy Thomas cameos. I'd buy that in a second
