I couldn't say with any certainty, but it looks like it could be by Larry Lieber, imitating a mix of styles from other artists. He sometimes did composites of figures from different sources. (I note that the web pattern is unfinished above his waist.)

Very Romita-esque (Romita Senior) but that seems unlikely for the Marvel UK office. Ron Wilson did a lot of the pencils and this could be him, but if so I would expect it to be more blocky. Something makes me want to say Dave Hunt on inks - it reminds me so much of his work over Byrne on Marvel Team Up, and that seems the right era.

Any more of these Titans centre spreads? Marshall Rogers did a few crackers, including one for Doc Strange that was basically a giant eyeball. I would love to see that again…

(ILYA, but Unknown pretty much covers it, yeah)

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". I thought it deserved to go 'viral'. To read the text click on each scan for the larger version. Invisible Girls and Phantom Ladies: How far have we come? Back in 1983, Alan Moore wrote a 10-page article on the portrayal of women in comics and the presence/lack thereof of female creators. It was serialized in Marvel UK's The Daredevils #4-6. It's really interesting to see things like this, written 25 years ago, and to address the question 'how far have we really come?'

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. The information accompanying this piece in the U.S, Hardback collection "The Birth of a Hero" is incomplete and inaccurate and the reproduction of the artwork inferior. This version has been "cleaned up" by me using Photoshop. Characters and Image is copyrighted by Marvel Entertainment and Subs.

Managing Depression

I lived with my depression for as long as I could remember although I didn't know the cause of my distress or that it had a name. In my late 30's I was no longer able to hide the symptoms or their effects and I ended up in Hospital after a second suicide attempt. Thankfully, I was eventually referred to an excellent and forward thinking clinic where a number of treatments were available. Over many years I became well enough to be discharged, which I feel is mainly due to Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (D.B.T.) because this allowed me to respond effectively to further treatments offered. I'd recommend others who have similar difficulties to seek the same therapy, it isn't a cure but it makes coping possible and easier. There follows an informative and concise article I found online which explains better than I can the basic principles. There is hope.
