With Super Friends Like These...

...Who needs Barbie dolls?

Here's the entire gang...

Machine Man and Triton (left) are two of Jack Kirby's greatest throwaway characters (while Batroc the Leaper [right] is his best hop-away character).

I call these two Perlin's pearls...Son of Satan and Moon Knight, key characters memorably drawn by my fellow Canarsie crony Don Perlin.

I'm sure some of you lovely mademoiselles out there are looking for a tall, dark, bouncy Frenchman with a Salvador Dali mustache, non?

Yes, the greatest Marvel superheroes this summer....may be on my shelf. Just kidding, X-MEN: FIRST CLASS was a first rate movie. We'll see how CAP turns out. (Haven't seen THOR yet...)

Meanwhile, see you at San Diego Comic-Con at the CARTOON FLOPHOUSE table in Small Press, booth # O-08. That's the letter O, zero, eight. Ciao for now......
