Today in Comics History, July 12: Happy birthday, Christine McVie!

Today's the birthday (born in 1943) of the (recently) late (always) great singer/ songwriter/ keyboardist Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac. She's one of my very favorite musicians from one of my very favorite bands, so I hope you'll excuse me re-using a bunch of panels from my Stevie Nicks birthday post on May 26, because there just aren't that many comic book appearances of her, unless of course you count Charlton's late-seventies short-lived The Adventures of Fleetwood Mac comic, where they toured around the country in their psychedlic band playing gigs and solving mysteries with the help of Mick Fleetwood's perpetually stoned talking dog Bluesbreaker.

Leiko Wu, Girlfriend of Kung-Fu™ may have been a fan of the Mac, especially Stevie's "Rhiannon," but Shang-Chi was in an underwhelming MCU movie liked Christine's song best.

To conclude, here's the only real comic book appearance of Ms. McVie I could find, and it's a doozy!:

I honestly did not expect that their sole comic book appearance would end with Stev9e doing the standard comic plop!


We send Christine many birthday wishes and miss her very much. To quote her maiden name: Christine Perfect.
