Today in Comics History, May 23, 2022: Everybody hates Peggy Carter*

*Except me. I love ya, Peggy!

Today in Comics History, May 20, 2022: Newspapers gang up to pick on Peggy Carter, who saved our butts in World War II, I hope you remember that

Today in Comics History, May 2, 2022: Pound sinks as Peggy Carter pounds Nazis! Plus, horrible cow violence.

A fairly tedious headline from Marvel's Earth-616 equivalent of England's Financial Times. Why, the newspaper isn't even printed on pink paper!

Let's put the Business Times into a larger perspective, shall we? Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battle station day's typical London newsstand. What, no Beano or Dandy?


You might note that all the other papers are dated Friday, May 20 rather than 5/2. (and 5/2/22 was not a Friday.) So I'm choosing to believe that the Business Times masthead is actually a typo rather than the real thing. And we'll see these front pages again opn May 20! Aren't you lucky?

Still, none of these terrible headliens about our beloved Capt. Pegy Carter can compare to the sheer horror and fright of this British newspaper:
