for me, it was a crucial breakthrough to realize not just that Sal was every bit his brother’s equal, but that he eventually surpassed him. John held his own art in contempt and self-avowedly slept through long stretches of his career. Sal found a savage fire in the belly for his second act.

Aw no. RIP Sal Buscema, Marvel's workhorse penciler in the Bronze Age and beyond. Age 89. In fact, Sal drew SO many titles in the 1970s, it's fair to say he WAS the Bronze Age.

I'm going to say a couple of things about Alex Pretti's handgun, that I don't think people who do not shoot will initially understand.
This photo was almost immediately distributed by the feds. I think that doing so was, for them and their attempt to whitewash the murder, a *huge* error.
