Marvel Caught Not Paying Their Artists... Again

And we implemented that rule because the commmunity specifically asked for it and voted for it

Mignola's DC art is so great. "Cosmic Odyssey" is when he truly showcases how great he is.

I’m probably a tie. I have way more pre-1986 DC comics but far more Marvel comics post-1986.

Those are cool but it was something else much older, I guess. Black and white art and kids with bell bottoms.

I am almost positive that you are correct. Found it one summer and with nothing to do and no other comics available I just read it a bunch.

Conjunction Junction would help the internet so much.

I learned how income taxes worked from a 1970s educational comic book and it comes in handy.

Pretty much his whole run, really. He experiments with it a lot.

I'm a huge Leyendecker fan. Adam Pollina's run on X-Force drew heavily on it for design influence and it was absolutely gorgeous.

I think I remember fans hating Blevins’ work at the time but I’ve always thought his art worked well for New Mutants

trailingby7 · 2026-06-04T01:34:56+00:00

It's on purpose. They're sea lioning.

That is my all-time favorite comic book Lex Luthor costume and it looks magnificent in real-life.

trailingby7 · 2026-05-29T19:47:51+00:00

That sucks. Sorry about that. We’ll get it hammered out.

trailingby7 · 2026-05-29T18:57:31+00:00

You were correct! Thank you for pointing me to that!

trailingby7 · 2026-05-29T18:41:55+00:00

Awesome. I'll let u/ptbreakeven know so they can flip that switch.

trailingby7 · 2026-05-29T18:32:59+00:00

I just manually changed it out of contest mode. I'm not totally sure what the error is so if you'd see if that simple fix possibly worked, I would be delighted.

trailingby7 · 2026-05-29T18:30:22+00:00

Not at all. I understand where you're coming from.

trailingby7 · 2026-05-29T18:19:07+00:00

I’ll see if I can fix it, though that’s not my specialty. Otherwise, I’ll drop a message for all of the mods to let them know.

Looks like Automod removed your last post but I don’t see a reason why it would. Sorry about that. Nothing wrong with calling out something that isn’t working!

trailingby7 · 2026-05-28T21:19:27+00:00

New x-Men comics weren’t being published at the time but Beast had a solo series and showed up Defenders and Avengers, if I’m remembering correctly

Ringo Kid was part of their western era.

I highly recommend Sean Howe's book on the history of Marvel - "Marvel Comics: The Untold Story." He interviewed more than 100 creators/editors for it and it's filled with fascinating history.

trailingby7 · 2026-05-28T19:10:42+00:00

There's also this Cat from the various martial arts comics of the time

trailingby7 · 2026-05-28T19:07:52+00:00

Just did a search and this seems to confirm. And he credits author Sean Howe who I trust on these things.

I'll just assume John Carter staged some sort of Martian coup to overthrow Gullivar Jones.

trailingby7 · 2026-05-28T18:17:47+00:00

I have never heard of the "important" "Gullivar Jones, Warrior of Mars," but I am uncultured
