I've got that whole story somewhere in my graphics files. I don't remember where it came from though or I'd go ahead and link it up. If you guys want to see the whole thing I could load it up at imageshack and post thumbnails in this thread if you like. Just let me know.

Interestingly, in the very issue of CBG that I started a thread about, Mr. Silver Age awards this comic one of his famed "Mopee Awards"! Did you see that article Prof?

Haven't read CBG in years.
I think the funniest review they've done at Prism Comics so far was the 2-part Giant-Man vs. The Top story-- probably because I'd just re-read it a few months ago, so it was still fresh in my mind.

It's surprising (again) to see how much gender mores have changed even within my lifetime -- I'm about as old as the Legion stories -- so that this kind of tale was once told with a perfectly straight face. No "camp" back then, campers.
Something in me rebels a bit at laughing too hard about the contrast between that era and the present. Perhaps it's from my having grown up in the tail end of such mores being common.
It was a more innocent, if indeed less honest, age in dealing with these matters ... but I wonder if some these days would prefer to escape to an age of having a few such certainties on matters of sexuality. Having it all hang out in our culture, in every medium and without any escape, can get tiring after a while.
