"70s era Black male superheroes showing chest and abs" appreciation post, LOL

-Sam Wilson / Falcon (currently Captain America)

-Eric Brooks / Blade the Vampire Hunter

Jericho Drumm / Brother Voodoo (now Doctor Voodoo)

-Carl Lucas, Luke Cage (formerly reluctantly called Power Man)

-Bill Foster / Black Goliath

-Jefferson Pierce / Black Lightning

Legion of Super-Heroes member, Tyroc (name later retconned as Troy Stewart)

(I came SO close to adding Cyborg's OG robo-stripper suit, but even if I had left out that extra Tyroc pic to make room for Victor Stone, he actually debuted in the 80s, not the 70s. 🫤

Anyway, enjoy! 😅)

Marvel Two-in-One #82 (DeFalco/Wilson, Dec 1981). As we conclude 1981 (the 20th anniversary of Marvel Comics!) Rick Jones has taken Bruce Banner to the site of the gamma bomb detonation… Now Ben Grimm visits the launch site of the mission that turned him and his friends into the Fantastic Four.

Part 2 of my Marvel reading order thing. Part 3 will probably be coming shortly after this too. It's probably very dull, but it's nice to get my thoughts out.

Marvel Masterworks: Thor Vols 1-20: This gets us from Thor's intro all the way up to around 1981, I believe. I might include masterwork 21 too, not sure yet. Who knows if my hyperfixation will even last enough to read that. Since I can't find these online, I'm reading Thor's epic collections (which I can download from offline).

Marvel Masterworks: Human Torch Vols 1-2: this is not for the golden age Torch stories. No, this is for those solo stories the Human Torch got back in the early 60s. Sadly, I can't find digital copies of these online for download, but I still put them on my reading list anyways.

Marvel Masterworks: Ant-Man/Giant-Man Vol 1 (and maybe 3?): I can't find these online, but I was able to read all of volume 1 using an epic collection online. I know I can't read volume 2 (the 60s Giant-Man stories just aren't as fun as the 60s Ant-Man ones, to me). And volume 3 isn't online, but I don't know if I'd read it. It's got the Black Goliath stories, a few 70s solo Ant-Man and the Wasp stories, plus the introduction of Scott Lang. So maybe I'd try reading it.

Marvel Masterworks: Captain Marvel Vols 1-4: About as much of Captain Marvel as I can read. Because volume 5 has the Adam Warlock story where Adam Warlock dies (or whatever), and I think volume 6 has the death of Captain Marvel. And I refuse to acknowledge Mar-Vell's death. I outright refuse. So I'll just read volumes 1-4 and be done with it. Besides, I don't love sci-fi. So this is probably about as much as I could take of Mar-Vell, regardless.

Remember that in 1981 Spiderman was on the same strength level as She-Hulk, Collosus, Valerie, Luke Cage and The Silver Surfer

smh, I'm STILL bitter that Bill Foster / Black Goliath was killed during Civil War for no good reason.

And then, years later, he gets introduced into the MCU, but is basically treated like a throwaway character in the Ant-Man movies.

Not only do we not get to see him have any fight scenes in the Ant-Man movies, he doesn't use his powers or even suit up (not even in flashback scenes, except just recently on Season 2 of WHAT IF?, where he has a couple throwaway lines).

Like, why bring a character into a story, who's known for being suited up as a superhero, if you plan to just throw them away like that??

I’ve been messing around with different pens but I’ve been liking this one, also futzing around with my art style which is why it keeps changing but I’ve never been one for consistency anyway lmao

Anyway here’s Damian with Goliath and Cassie, they’re both very quick and I did them simultaneously but think they turned out okay :)
