I love that Loki panel, Keith! Art Adams is such a great talent---it's a shame he's so slow. If he could maintain a monthly schedule, I think he'd blow the current crop of "hot" young artists out of the water. And my question about the DeFalco/Frenz collaboration also applies to Claremont/Adams. Either Adams is plotting these things virtually all by himself, or Chris is bringing his "A game", as he did with JB, because Claremont's writing jumps about ten notches when he is teamed with Adams (or JB).
@ Chad: Thanks for that Lockjaw panel! "Quiet, Ben! Don't disturb him!" Ye gods, I love that Lee/Kirby run on FF!! Has there ever been such a terrific collaboration in comics history as The Man and The King?
Q for the mods: Can we please get a sticky on this thread? I just love it! It cheers my mood so much to visit it every day. :) :) :) And thanks to everyone for posting these great panels!

Huh, I'd forgotten about the old "Awesome Panel" thread. http://www.byrnerobotics.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=25071 &PN=1&TPN=1 I was actually referred back to my own previously-posted image. Small world.

"Also awakened the whole age of grim/gritty in superhero comics. Blame WATCHMEN if you want, but it really started with Elektra's demise." Then couldn't we say it really began with the death of Gwen Stacy?

It's not just about death, though, Chuck. The Gwen Stacy was not gritty, and it didn't get grim until her neck snapped. The DD/Elektra Saga was angsty strum and drang from start to finish. There's a kind of nihilism that runs through modern comics that just oozes off the paper.....

SER: I would disagree. Elektra is the doomed femme fatale. She first appears as a villain and it's her love of Matt and her lost innocence that causes her to spare Foggy prior to her death. Yes, Elektra dies but Gwen Stacy's death is an example of the bad guy winning. In other words, Catwoman dying in order to save Batman would not have been a shocking development in the Silver Age. Lex Luthor abducting Lois Lane and Superman failing to save her would have been (or would have been cosigned to an "imaginary tale," as I think such a story was).
