the Spectacular Exalted Speed

Joe Quesada trying to give advice to fans looking to turn pro, but fails to realize that no one wants advice from the guy who made one more day.

It’s hell and this might have consequences on various manga so it’s like I don’t think it’s good to ignore potentially big moments like these

Anyway many creators are putting their on suspension, Shogogaukon is in a lot of trouble but it seems to have been simmering for a bit

So tldr manga industry might be exploding today

and that it for the Wertham repost I probally have more this weekend but feel free to ask if you want more context and I will do my best to answer, I'm going to get more quotes later this week but this book is a chore at the best of times

For the cliff notes comics strips creators were VERY worried about it and one creator Hal Fisher started to go to war with Al Capp which led to a lot of drama that ENDED with Fisher's suicide so yes THERE was a huge impact even if they didn't get their own code for it.

Getting back to this to show Wertham hypocrisy about all this he did actually make a difference between comic books and strips, though historically those within COMICS strips actually did worry about this and it led to one of the most tragic stores in comics.

Found that quote about Superman making Parents suck SO YOUR THE REASON MY FATHER WAS NEVER GOOD ENOGUH

Don’t worry Tarzan is already covered in that regard

Honestly if a creator wanted to do queer subtext with Namor at this point I’m all for it because man he does not get enough comics as is and he’s been missing out on decades of deconstruction commentary

*I made people gay!
*time to invade the surface world!
“Namor I don’t think….”
“To support them in their identity and give them my autograph!”
“…..”
“Namor is many things but he appreciates his fans!”

The funny thing about this is we actually now have the real quotes form the gay dudes and it was gasp Tarzan and Namor all along?……honestly makes a bit more sense since those characters are just in their underwear

I find that every argument to defend Wertham just leaves me very confused over what he actually wanted.

SEE WERTHAM DIDN'T WANT THE CODE...HE JUST WANTED THE GOVERNMENT TO CENSOR THEM!

jokes aside this was drawn by one of the first major Black comic artists Matt Baker.

To think this would lead to a black man losing his job.

I really can't argue with this one, and to be fair this wasn't a problem unique to comics either but yeah this is a good point overall. i'm willing to give him that.

Well guys hell froze over, I FINALLY AGREE WITH HIM ON SOMETHING....yeah fuck misleading ads. I WANTED REAL SEA MONKEYS!

oh hey it's Wonder Woman is a lesbian time!

it's kind of funny how he frames the characters here because before this he was FRAMING Superman and Wonder Woman as counterparts and now it's Batman and Wonder Woman, THE GAYS

but Wertham doesn't mention him, despite BEING the crime comic, that said Comics strips did worry about Wertham, and it led to some interesting history there. But I'm already talking about a lot of shit.

I bring up Dick Tracy here because at the time it was still a popular comic and also it tended to kill EACH OF IT'S VILLAINS OFF IN BLOODY WAYS, Dick can be said to maybe have a Punisher level body count all told

The thing I find funny about this is he goes to they are gay first instead of I don't know Daddy issues? Like Robin was following in the steps of Dick Tracy Jr, but DOES WERTHAM THINK TO TALK ABOUT HIM? NOOOOOOOOOOO

All right people we have reached the historical moment, after this DECADES of fan fiction, jokes, horrible deconstructions will be written, GARTH ENNIS IS BORN HERE HE HAS BEEN MELDED BY THE FIRES OF THIS MAN'S WRATH, NOW WE ARE A WITNESSING A BIRTH OF COMMENTARY

ah we are at Superheroes are gay, okay time for Batman and Robin jokes. Or at least the origin of them.

I'm going to read and post that article later but reading the book itself HE REALLY seems to HATE WONDER WOMAN SO MUCH, even compared to say Superman

Oh finally he ACTUALLY BRINGS UP MAYBE OTHER FACTORS BESIDES COMICS CAUSE THESE ISSUES! WOOOO....it's also the most fucking salacious passage so far in the book and almost sounds like he's just writing a crime book himself.

I should read this drunk. Like the way he just goes THIS ENTIRE FUCKED UP SITUATION....comics....not anything else that it could be....COMICS

All right I have to ask the gays this, did being attracted to a women ass make you gay? Sorry lesbians I can't ask you about this, I'm just wondering how womens butts made a dude gay if he's looking for them.

okay WE CAN'T ALLOW CHILDREN TO THINK SUPERMAN IS A GOD! OH JESUS WHAT NEXT THEY WILL THINK SANTA CLAUSE IS REAL?

Ah Captain Marvel MY FAVORITE CRIME BOOK,
