This will always deserve all the stars.

Awesome, fascinating article, Esther. I actually followed a credit link from the Smithsonian’s site to get here. Thanks.

Jack Kirby and Alan Moore and so many others call bullshit on your statements.

Fuck yes. How hard can it be to parse grammar and hold a speaker to specific answers?

Sagacity for our times.

American Tabloid was one of the most riveting, un-put-downable reads ever for me. I am terrified of revisiting it.

I don’t know if others have rose-colored gasses or not, but I don’t. My friends and I still play them once in a while. Nothing quite like No Mercy or Virtual Pro Wrestling 2.
