The Marvel Calendar for 2011 2022: March Marvels Mug for the Camera

Spider-Woman's got the right idea (even tho' fabric don't work like that): put your best face forward and smile, smile, smile! Red Hulk agrees! Thor and Iron Man, who do not have good dental plans, do not. But they still don't mind if you hang this odd group shot calendar up for March 2022, because it still works, even if Chicago Comic and Entertainment Expo doesn't take place until August this year. Get your white-out and you can fix that. Come to think of it, I coulda fixed it in Photoshop. But, whaddaya gonna do?, he said, rhetorically.

But look out! Somebody shot a hole through Red Hulk's skull, and I bet he ain't happy about it.

Here in my comics I feel safest of all

For sanity's sake, I'm staying away from social media until San Diego Comic-Con is over (because long story, no time to tell it here), so in the meantime, please enjoy, from the pages of Britain's Eagle Annual, synth pop sensation Gary Numan!


"Personalities with a Plus!" from Eagle Annual 1983 [#25] (1983)


Mister Gary Numan also appears in comics in Joseph Michael Linser's Crypt of Dawn #4, which, due to the fact that I have taste, I do not own.

But I found it on the internet for you anyway.

And Dawn appeared on the cover of Gary Numan's 1997 album...um, Dawn!


(The UK version of the album is titled Sacrifice and has an entirely different cover, for British people of discerning taste.)



Still, I'll give Gary Numan's Dawn this: As a comic book tie-in CD, it's no Songs of the Witchblade.
