Today in Comics History, May 1: Who wears short shorts?

Hey, here's a Warren W. Worthington the Whird comic book one-shot in which this gal has forgotten her past! That's pretty bad, but not as bad as Marvel forgetting to color this.


from Archangel [: Phantom Wings] #1 one-shot (Marvel, February 1996), script by Peter Milligan, pencils and inks by Leonardo Manco, letters by Jon Babcock

The calendar suddenly remidns her of something! That must mean her name is May, right?


OH FOR PETE'S SAKE COMIC BOOK


"Who Wears Short Shorts" commercial for Nair (1975), originally sung by The Royal Teens (ABC-Paramount, 1958), written by Tom Austin, Bill Crandell, Bill Dalton, and Bob Gaudio

This post was suggested by faithful reader and frequent commenter Blam, who's provided a lot of date references in comics that I'll spotlight throughout 2023 in this series. Thanks, Blam!

A classic of my youth.
… The Nair commercial, not the one-shot.
