Swanderful is gay comics creator Dale Lazarov’s (Sticky, Manly and Nightlife) new blog dedicated to his favorite comic book artist… Curt Swan. Now I’m not sure I see Mr’s Swan’s work in the same homoerotic light as Lazarov seems to, but I must agree that Curt Swan was the quintessential silver age Superman artist.
Check out Swanderful to see some of Lazarov’s favorite Swan works along with the writers own keen observations and amusing comments.
Below are two images he posted that cracked me up. I remember these from my early days as a comic reader… They were first published in Superman #272.
Pencils: Curt Swan; Joe Kubert; Kurt Schaffenberger; Neal Adams; Joe Orlando; Frank Robbins; Dick Giordano; Dave Cockrum; Carmine Infantino; Sergio Aragones; Dick Dillin; Irv Novick; Mike Kaluta; Bernie Wrightson; Howard Chaykin

Strange thing are afoot. Sue Storm is missing! Mister Fantastic is behaving like a cold calculating killer! Guido is making gladiator jokes! Shatterstar can kick the Thing’s ass? Siryn is banging Deadpool? Lalya Miller is in Latveria?
X-Factor has relocated back to New York, and their first client is a keeper: Franklin Richards, whose mom has disappeared and who figures that the premiere detective agency in the Marvel Universe has the best chance of finding her. Except Reed Richards doesn’t seem especially cooperative in helping them locate his missing wife. What is he hiding, and does it have anything to do with the coming Darkness?
Meanwhile, Val Cooper has some bad news for Monet: Her ambassador father has been taken prisoner by terrorists, and she has less than 24 hours to find him before he winds up getting his head cut off on video.
One thing that I thought was odd was the profile on Layla Miller doesn’t include any of the info we learned in X-Factor #50. She does NOT in fact have precognitive abilities. She went back in time after the Summers Rebellion and gave her younger self her accumulated memories. Her read super power is to raise the dead (sans soul – hence Trevor Fitzroy ends up the evil asshole Bishop eventually hunts to the past). But the profile says she “sees portions of possible futures.” Who wrote this and why didn’t an editor tell them about the big reveal last issue?

This issue is obviously meant to set up an epic fight between two so-called “arch-enemies.” It seemed weird when Ms. Marvel named Mystique as her nemesis last issue, so it no surprise that she’s showing up now even though neither of them has given each other a second thought in years. I know these are fictional stories made up by writers but must they be SO obvious about setting up an emotional confrontation for the big issue #50 series finale?
Ms. Marvel vs. Mystique! She raised Rogue, the woman who stole Carol’s powers and memories, and now the sinister shape-shifter is coming for Ms. Marvel herself! Yes, the collision readers have demanded since issue #1 is here as the march to the momentous issue #50 begins now!
Did we REALLY demand it? Any why is it a series finale? Why do comic book companies have SUCH a hard time writing a decent series starring a powerful super heroine? You would think with all the horndog straight fanboys it would be a no brainer.
