Monday Madness AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY in A Tale Twice-Told!

What do this comic...
...and this comic...
...have in common...besides both being published as a joint project by Marvel Comics and the American Cancer Society?
Here's the inside covers from both books...
1982
1998
Figure it out?
Here's one more comparison...the back covers from both books...
1982
1998
Isn't it odd Luke seems to have forgotten cigar-smoking Nick Fury and Ben (the Thing) Grimm?
The answer is...it's the exact same comic script (including word balloons and captions), just illustrated by two different art teams a decade apart!
(OK, to be fair, the text in the block Cage is lifting is different..but that's the only thing, and it's not story-related!)
You'll see both versions of this tale Tuesday through Friday at our "brother" RetroBlog

The FIRST Black SuperHeroine!

Who was the FIRST Black superheroine?
Most people say the X-Men's Storm...
...and they'd be wrong!
Four years before Ororo Munroe made her first appearance in 1975's Giant Size X-Men #1another costumed Black superheroine flew across comic pages (in her own strip) for two issues!
If you want to know more about her, and read her premiere appearance, go HERE!

Costume Comparison: Halle Berry IS Storm!

 In place of my usual pithy prose, the first in an ongoing series of costume comparisons between comic and live-action versions of characters.
First up:
Storm's original Dave Cockrum-designed costume

and the film version as worn by Halle Berry in the first X-Men film.
Ain't it a shame they didn't let her wear the comics version? ;-)
Interestingly, they modified the comics version to somewhat reflect the movie's design...
