    Look at the expression on that kid’s face. He’s just discovered girls. He won’t read another comic for many years.

Here’s the cover to DAREDEVIL #5 by Wally Wood. Wood working for Marvel was such a big deal to Stan that he actually ran cover blurbs highlighting the fact on most of the books he started working on, which simply wasn’t done in those days.

    “I know Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five very well and they are so full of shit! Those guys are very well off, believe me, and very sure of themselves. I’m tired of hearing records about how we live on the street, y’know, it’s a joke at this point. They don’t live on the street, that’s their image. If you make a hit record you’re not living on the street, I’m sorry! And now they’re singing about the evils of cocaine—what!”—Madonna to Melody Maker, 1983

    Here’s another great photo of artist Mike Zeck dressed as Black Bolt in 1971. You can see more images (and read a little background) on Mike’s Facebook page. Great stuff!
