Compared to Byrne/Austin, yes, I can see that. But Byrne's FF is my representation of them, so I can't meaningfully criticize.Kory wrote: ↑04 May 2022, 6:36pmHis faces seem so emaciated, it's really jarring.

Or maybe I'm not that enamoured with Terry Austin's inks. Either way, his FF is the high point of his career to me.Kory wrote: ↑04 May 2022, 4:36pmWhat happened to John Byrne between his time on UXM and starting FF and Alpha Flight? His art is a lot sketchier (lazier?) on those following books, not as clean as I came to expect from his mutant work. Is it just that he was splitting the time writing and so he didn't have enough time to draw?

It irks me to know I'll never be this badass, but it comforts me to know none of the rest of you will be either.

Early 70s Marvel makes a statement about feminism.
Also, from a few issues earlier, this "thank you" hasn't aged well at all:

Robin's wearing socks and Batgirl’s wearing heels. Are they really maximizing their fighting ability?

No human normally stands that way, so I'm guessing Mary Jane is doing one of those hands-free attempts to work her underwear out from her butt.

Well, supposedly she's at Madison Square Garden, so maybe she's adopted the wide stance to avoid stepping in a puddle of bodily fluids of some sort.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑05 Jun 2022, 1:16pmNo human normally stands that way, so I'm guessing Mary Jane is doing one of those hands-free attempts to work her underwear out from her butt.
...Just a thought.
