yeah, Darkseid is surprising tought character to crack. My favorite take on the character was in Walt Simonson series - he managed to communicate the old conqueror vibe really well.

Knowing what kind of person Ditko was - he was probably sold on Chuck Norris beating bad guys. Kinda like Charles Bronson was sold on all these Charles Bronson movies because he liked shooting them bastards.

so it was technically a high profile project worthy of Ditko’s involvement?

imagine having Ditko back in the fold and having him do fucking Chuck Norris comics? late 80s Marvel is a mess.

thanks. fixed

Facts.

got it. thx.

i guess that’s what happened

it doesn’t mean much to me because i’m from another country and we had some wild inflation swings over the years. Purchasing power dynamics is weird all the time.

damn

Silver Age DC, eh. I think Batman had a storyline in which Joker turned him into a woman for literally shits and giggles. it was the 60s…

per month

What’s astounding is that 10 cents per issue back then was enough to keep the business rolling. these days 5 bucks barely keep the lights on.

Reading single issues is such a weird experience. The old ones that stick to self-contained stories are great but the modern ones with long running storylines - yeeesh. We don’t even have the single issue imported anymore - just TPB and hardcovers with complete storylines and it is always overpriced as fuck.

unlike that weirdo Aquaman

it is for clarity.

It’s silver age DC so the answer is probably “yes, unless it is no”

Silver Age DC water ain’t wettin’ them hair, eh.

Strongly worded UN reaction incoming

he was ahead of the curve for like solid 15 years at minimum.

now that’s what i call legacy
