Ready to slice and dice! Fresh sashimi anyone?

Boy, she really hates the way the statue portrays her. Jimmy Olson looks like a swinger in the left vertical panel. Nice description of the conflicting credits.

I'm amazed how well the hands are drawn in these pages.

Forget Joe Palooka. The warden's call to Section 2 is really to Section 31, who will take care of things. 

They'll need to mop the floors from Knobby sweating so much. Get Knobby a glass of water before he passes out!

The faces in these comics are classic!

The criminal mugs remind me of Dick Tracy. Knobby says the meal "made me feel punk." Not sure what that meant in the 1950s, unless Knobby is mangling the correct word? 

This is fun, but Knobby hates lamb stew... Congratulations on having the story and keeping it together!

Prison labor! Where's Cool Hand Luke?

Aye, we were happier then...

Excellent question! Kang hair is timeless...

Haha! Good points!

I've done far worse than kill you. I've hurt you, and I wish to go on hurting you. I shall leave you as you left me, as you left her: marooned for all eternity in the center of a dead planet, buried alive. Buried alive!

Cool story! I appreciate the kind words, Lee. Your Alcala collection is amazing! 

Thanks, Ruben! First panel also blew me away! 

Haha!! Thanks, John!

That's an interesting, cool idea. I would love to do that. Thanks, Tom!

That's what they said!

Wow! Courtesy of the county's resident poet! Thanks for introducing me to the song and singer. 

I like the intricate design of the spaceship and the mottled surface of the planet, in addition to the rocket trails. Another great science fiction cover!

The white brushwork gives the spacecraft a very nice texture. Congratulations on your OAX pickups, Jeff! 

Cool DPS with both All-Star Squadron and classic JSA members as well as a bubble head shot of classic villain Degaton. Congratulations!

Your Brazilian Superman/Supergirl pieces are super fun. How many countries do you have published art of Superman/Supergirl comics in their native language? 

Wow! Poetic comment plus country music! Thanks, Miki!

Thanks, Kavi!

Thanks, Ruben. I think his art here is superior to some of his other Medal of Honor stories.

More coconuts!

Alas, without Erebus, Captain Franklin, or ice!

Closest one is 95 miles away! How about chicken teriyaki or some ramen?

Great comment, Ruben! Thank you!

Thank you! It's nice to have pages about the battle from a Filipino as well as American comic. 

Haha! Stick with the cappuccino!

I love how he illustrated the control panel of the Bacta Tank in the middle. My goodness, how did he draw that?!!

I like how Watson added the giant hand holding the unconscious superheroes by their capes, which wasn't in the original painting. This amps up the feeling of hopelessness and defeat. 

Beautiful!!! Beware the all-seeing, all-powerful eye!

Cool piece! I wonder what you get when you order a supermoca at a coffee shop in Brazil or Portugal?!

Dive!

Thanks, Nick! Four!

Butch's brush work is tremendous. What skill and technique. Such a talent. May he rest in peace.

Haha. Now that you mention it, the war part was more of an unconscious factor. What appealed to me most, besides nostalgia, is that it's a nice example of Buscema and Sinnott FF, it's presidential --  complementing my Sgt. Fury page with its albeit positive portrayal of President Johnson -- and has action, Kirby-style machinery, and Galactus. 

An English actor portrays Galactus in the movie! Maybe his lines include "charade!"

Yes, he was already known derisively as Tricky Dicky when he appeared to look the part -- ashen, visibly sweating, and not looking at the camera -- during the 1960 Kennedy-Nixon presidential debates. I edited the description to note this might be among the first times a US comic depicted a president in a negative light, which isn't surprising given the political and social upheaval of the time period. 

HYDRA is now in control. Bwha ha ha. Cut off one head, two more shall take its place...

I was embarrassed to find that I haven't left a CAF comment on the page, despite seeing it up close on two occasions. It's wonderful. Not only is the inking amazing, so are the storytelling, figures, and use of zip-a-tone screens. His clouds give the sky substance and presence. As is key in the war comic genre, he's got the details of the equipment, ships, and planes right as far as I can tell. I particularly like how he made the Japanese radio operators distinct individuals. A wonderful addition to your collection.

The best Ford is Hanover Street...
