There's been a bit of a kerfuffle recently over an almost ridiculously sexy Spider-Woman cover drawn by Milo Manara. I was quite surprised by the uproar, actually - voluptuous ladies in skin-tight outfits is definitely not new to comics. For whatever reason, this particular drawing seems to have crossed a ...

FRIDAY NEWSPOST - Comic Book Idols
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Aug. 29, 2014
Yesterday, August 28th, was the anniversary of Jack Kirby's birthday. This has prompted some people to talk about how his work affected them, and made me think a bit about comic book influences and artists we look up to. Although I wasn't actively a huge fan of Kirby ...

FRIDAY NEWSPOST - Comic Book Movies
HippieVan at 12:00AM, Aug. 8, 2014

Because ...
