We pulled boxes of comics out of the attic (The Great Attic Cleaning Of '06) and I have to say...I had weird taste in comics back in the day.
They were all, of course, Marvel--I was entirely too cool for DC. That was the company for old ladies, you know. (it *was* the 70's) DC had that big flying boy scout, and that fucked up weirdo in the batsuit.

Me, I had Deathlok, Morbius, Guardians of The Galaxy, Killraven, and Dr. Strange, Iron Fist, Dracula, and Luke Cage (the first Black hero! Oy, bad, but I loved it!) Oh, and Master Of Kung Fu, god, I loved that book!

X-men, of course, and Alpha Flight, (NorthStar, I knew you were gay, even back then. Boy, did they ever fuck with you, poor thing)

So, here’s the challenge---have you ever heard of *any* of these books? ‘Cause the comic guy laughed when I told him what I had. *grin*
The one common factor in almost all of these books? Slash, slash, slash—at least in my young and fevered mind.

I’m writing, I swear! Really!

And by the way, thanks

teot, for making me realize Deal needed more unhealthy sex! You’re a great source of inspiration for me!

Just popping in to say that that is quite possibly the sexiest icon ever!

So, here’s the challenge---have you ever heard of *any* of these books?

X-Men is my main fandom and Northstar is one of my favorite characters to write. I own the Alpha Flight comic where he comes out.

*preens*

here’s the challenge---have you ever heard of *any* of these books?

Pfft!

Need you even ask?

And! A Hollywood star took his screen name from a character in one of those books. Who is the actor, and who is the character?

heh.

I had Dr. Strange, Iron Fist, Luke Cage, X-Men, Alpha Flight.

I first hit comics through the Sword and Sorcery books--Conan and Red Sonja.

I know who all of them are!! I've got a few different books on the history of Marvel comics- what can I say, I'm a junkie. I tend to flip flop inbetween DC & Marvel- right now I'm mostly DC, with Astonishing X-Men also on my pull list. :)

Oh, Tchah! I knew *you* would get it! *grins*

I've only heard of the X-Men out of all the ones you mentioned, but I just had to say how much I LOVE your Brex icon. *swoons* Two of my favorite characters... two of my favorite actors. :D

You mean this incredible icon that

ladydreamer made? Yes, it is fabulous! *G*

*nods* My hero!

Who? who? *be all curious!!!*

ACK! I forgot those books--I have them too! Barry Windsor-Smith was my idol!

Gee, I remember buying comics and having them be the most important thing ever. Back in the day, out household budget consisted of food, laundry, comics, gas...*grin*

Yes lord, child, I'm all about the Brex. My first OTP, my first ~~wetdream~~ long story...aaaah! Love the boys!
My fantastic icon is from

ladydreamer

*waves hand around* I know!

Mr. Nicolas "I named my son Kal-El" Cage changed his last name from Coppola in honor of comic book bad-ass Luke Cage.

No--really???
What a fruitcake--Luke Cage? *snort*

I've read a ton of Dr. Strange, Dracula, Alpha Flight, and (of course) X-Men. I never bought any of them, though -- I think they must have belonged to one (or more LOL!) of my brothers.

Oooooo! In my youth, I spent enough on comics to buy a castle, and the bald guy with it!

I've heard of Dr. Strange, but Iron Fist???? That's just a slash story title waiting to happen!!!!

X-Men! And i adored Dr. Strange in the 70's! Barry Smith's Dr. Strange, and his Conan was beautiful too!

Oh right, Barry Windsor-Smith. it's all coming back to me - remember the Dread Dormammu, and Umar the Unspeakable?

I'm too young in comicdom and in general to know any of these titles, but I just wanted to check in with my joy that slash was alive and well before I was born. ^--^

Brex was your first OTP? That's a pretty awesome first OTP. I think mine was either Hiei/Kurama or Sora/Yolei from Yu Yu Hakusho and Digimon respectively.

LOL!!!!
Ooooooo--pretty icon!

*CLINGS* my darling!

Oh yes, yes, Windsor-Smith had that beauty part down pat! And wow--no! you have a velcor mind, don't you? *G*

oh, I should clarify--Brex was my first writing OTP. my very first OTP was the same one everyone my age had--Spock/Kirk, Star Trek!

*be all confused by the younger generation* Yu Yu Hakusho?

oh, everyone is drooling over the icon by the way! *smacks self* I be zoning sometime...must be the pron!

Actually, I meant the Brex one. I love the masking and the font. And the pretty guys.

Oh yeah, that's the one I thought you meant. *grin*
my default icon is by

lapetite_kiki

SPOCK/KIRK!! You are totally my slashdom sempai. You guys helped CREATE the term slash!

Both are Japanese Anime. Yu Yu Hakusho is about these pretty boy spirit detectives, and Hiei and Kurama are ~~very much in love~~ demons. I mock the incoming group that watched the American version first with the horrible voices and deny the slashy implications.

Hee. That makes me happy.

you want to see beauty? Look here:

scroll down past the wordy part(or read it if you want -it's good too)

Yep.

I saw the writing on the wall for his marriage to Lisa Marie Presley when he sold his comic books. Two months after they got married.

DH and I've seen it all before -- whenever a newly-married guy sells his comic books, the marriage isn't long for this world.

:gives

miss_tress cookie:

Hahahahaa! that was cute!! And the artwork--omgosh! amazing--the detail is incredible and I agree--the feet! his toes! The skin tones! Thank you sweetie, every time you visit, you bring the gifts!

Mmmmmm! *nibbles on internet cookies*

Mine too! The very first slash I ever read was K/S back in the day. :)

Sweetie, I read and loved every single title you mentioned. I still have my Dr. Stange and Master of Kung Fu comics but I'm afraid that they'll probably be going soon. Sometimes it feels like I'm selling off my children, or beloved friends, silly as that may sound.

Did you read Green Arrow? Ollie is just such a sexy beast and he and Hal were slashy even before Kirk and Spock had the chance. ;)
