You Would Only Laugh At Me As You've Done Before!
A little self-promotion is in order.
Prism Comics LGBT Guide to Comics 2008 is in the latest Previews catalog, and I wrote one of an article in it. It’s about mad scientists in comics and has little to do with homosexuality. But it is really funny ... if I do say so myself, and I do. I worked on it for much longer than I do most of the things I write. I think it’s better than my article in last year’s guide, which got really good reviews, or so I’m told. Also, it was on mad scientists, which are kind of an obsession of mine. Most of my favorite characters are mad scientists. I can’t pass up a comic with the Leader, Vril Dox, Wizard, or (of course) my absolute favorite, the Mad Thinker.
And any chance to make fun of Hank Pym is too sweet to pass up. Don’t you love the panel from his first appearance that I posted!?! Total mad scientist ranting! He makes Dr. Doom look like Gandhi. I’ve written a lot about poor Hank as you can see here, here, and here, among other places. His early adventures are completely loony.
So you should pre-order a copy of Prism Comics LGBT Guide to Comics THIS month ... preferably before April 12, which is the official deadline.
On page 389 of April 2008 issue of Previews catalog.
