Pop! Goes the Icon

I have a beef with Clifford Meth.
OK, well, more specifically, I have a beef with Clifford Meth’s Yahoo! e-mail account.
You may recall that a few weeks back I shared news about Meth helping the fiscal security of the late Dave Cockrum’s widow, Paty, by facilitating the selling off of Cockrum’s personal comic collection. I wrote […]

Conclusive proof that even before Tony Stark became a tool (or a Skrull), Sub-Mariner couldn’t stand his stupid iron face:

I didn’t actually mean to take a few days off. I was just overwhelmed with activities over the last week–some holiday-related, others not so much–that I haven’t had time to do much of anything, let alone blather to the world with my views on comic books, pop culture and other nonsense.
