Alan Moore's Essay: Sexism in Comics

I "borrowed" the following scans and text from mechanicaljewel at Live Journal.com. I fondly recall the comic, "The Daredevils" from which they are lifted, it featured reprint comics and new editorial and comic-strip material, notably "Captain Britain".

Jack Kirby Art UK premiere

The original artwork for this pin up was presented to Mark Haynes as first prize for winning "Marvel Mastermind UK 1976". This version is scanned from the back page of the UK weekly "Super Spider-man and the Titans" issue number 217 cover dated April 6th 1977 but on sale from 30th March 1977. The image was used again over a year later but in black and white line only as the "British Feature Page" in F.O.O.M magazine 19.

This version has been "cleaned up" by me using Photoshop. Characters and Image is copyrighted by Marvel Entertainment and Subs.
