Some useless trivia for you – both the UK and the US versions of Dennis the Menace issued their first copies on March 12, 1951. No relation, just sheer coincidence. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slackhurst Broadcasting 374 Posted June 14, 2023 With John Romita gone I think that leaves Roy Thomas (b.1940) as the last survivor from Marvel's "Bullpen" of the Sixties. Later: I was wrong about that. There's still Jim Steranko (b.1937) who took over Nick Fury: Agent of SHIELD and turned it into a key example of Sixties psychedelic excess. Also Barry Windsor-Smith (b.1949), whose early Marvel work as "Barry Smith" also verged on the psychedelic, but where Steranko was highly polished, Smith was crude. (Early on, he tended to draw people as though their skulls were shaped like lightbulbs.) He was very young at the time though. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
