Today in Comics History, July 14: Happy birthday, Gustav Klimt!

Happy birthday (born 1862, so use a lotta candles) to painter Gustav Klimt, champion of Art Nouveau and the Vienna Secession, who gave us such famous works as Pallas Athena, Judith and the Head of Holofernes, The Three Ages of Woman, Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer, Schubert at the Piano, Girlfriends (or Two Women Friends), Danaë, and The Kiss, aka The Painting Most Likely to be Displayed in an Art Major's College Dorm Room.

There's a lot of brou-ha-ha (Brou-ha-ha? Ha ha ha!) about Havok's rejection of being called "mutant" in Uncanny Avengers #5.

Which of course means that I had to re-letter several panels from the book.
