  • Biollante: probalby, but 59 percent is considered a "blow out" in political terms, some people are on shaky ground right now, there was evne a conservative pollset that worked for Bush warning people that if Republicans are against things like gay marriage in the near future, they would endure catastrophic losses, I don't know if it's this political cycle, but the paradigm shift already happened a while ago

  • PTF: It's a magic hammer. It doesn't have to make sense. :)

  • Steveinthecity: I wonder why it's always readers that catch mistakes with art, powers, plots, continuity, uniforms, etc. and not the creators and editors?  I hope they're not secretly laughing at us. ;)

  • Steveinthecity: When Thor pulls the hammer back to throw, his momentum stops. He has always been able to float or hover once airborne, and he'll remain until the hammer comes back to him.  I guess the winds keep him aloft.

  • Biollante: ok so shouldn't Joe Quesada know that? lol  It made him look a bit stupid imo.
    May 21, 2012, 07:57:37 AM
  • Jabroniville: Yeah, that's odd- Thor usually has the Hammer out in front. Though I don't think it's ever explained how he can throw it while in mid-flight and not just plummet like a goof. I wish artists would stop having him do things like that :)

  • Steveinthecity: @Biolante:  Thor uses the hammer to fly. He can throw his hammer during flight and float in one spot until the hammer returns to him. Don't know what Joe Q. was thinking there. I've never seen Thor fly on his own.

  • Biollante: Joe Quesada was drawing Thor on some Disney promo, and he drew him flying with his hammer on his side, now I'm not a Thor junkie, but isn't that actualy inaccurate, doesn't he fly by being dragged by his hammer???

Over the decades
« on: January 28, 2011, 06:09:10 AM »
I have been looking at many covers that span over the decades of Archie comics and have noticed many changes and differences in the illustrations of each character. What are some of your likes and dislikes that have occurred over the years in the drawings of the Archie characters?

Well, Jughead in the 1940s was one of the ugliest characters in comic book history!  :)  I'm glad that changed.

I agree, even in that photo Veronica's look is different. Her hair is the most that has changed style.

I know one way you can tell what decade the Archie story was released in.  Take a gander at Reggie's hair...it seems to change every 10 years.

In the 40's and 50's, it was slicked back.
The 60's showed him with a little curl (especially when Harry Lucey illustrated him)
The 70's showed him with 70's style-sideburns
The 80's went back to a 50's style.
The 90's had Reggie with a spiked haircut (and some with him having a ponytail)
The current style is more or less a combo of the 80's/90's look.

I have seen early Archie photos where he has really big buck teeth. I imagine this is from the 1940's age.

Someone pointed out once that Reggie was styled after Bob Hope back in the 1940s and '50s.  I think of it every time I see those stories.
