  • 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

  • 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???

Tom Defalco (70's)
« on: October 26, 2010, 07:17:05 AM »
G'day I was wondering if anyone had a listing of all the comics Tom Defalco wrote for Archie Comics.  Wikipedia says that's where he got his start but I can't find anything more than that.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I was able to get a partial list from comics-db.com, but I'm not sure how complete this is...

"Poetry in Motion", Archie #254 (July 1976)
"Sure Thing", Archie #255 (August 1976)
"Favorite Pets", Archie #256 (September 1976)
"Name Game", Archie #258 (December 1976)
"Dress Drama", Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica #254 (February 1977)
"Passed Out", Archie #262 (June 1977)
"The Best Policy?!", Archie #273 (August 1978)
"Raring To Go", Archie #280 (May 1979)
"Time Twist", Archie's Super Hero Comics Digest #2 (? 1979)
"Out to Get Him", Life With Archie #205 (June 1979)

I also tried searching a similar site (comicbookdb.com), but they seemed to be much more interested in what he did with Marvel than with his work at Archie.

It's tough finding info on some of the Archie comics as many are not indexed.  I am having this problem now.  Here's the info from www.comics.org but keep in mind that after Archie 258 the index is spotty at best.  So there could be others out there but this is a good start.

Search Link

Archie (1962 series) 254, 255, 256, 258, 262, 273, 280, 610, 611, 612, 613
Archie's Girls Betty and Veronica (1950 series) #254
Archie's Super Hero Comics Digest Magazine (1979 series) #2
Life With Archie (1958 series) #182, 205

Its not just comics db that is mainly interested in DC and Marvel it's most places on the web, they seem to ignore Archie Comics for some reason.  Well I've got some to start with anyway.

In their defense, DeFalco WAS the Editor-in-Chief of Marvel Comics during a huge portion of the 1990s, which was among their most profitable eras ever (it's debateable how much of that HE was responsible for, but that's how it goes...), and he's had HUGE runs on several books (Spider-Man & Spider-Girl mostly), so it's not like his Marvel stuff is without merit. He certainly hit much more success there than at Archie.
