Sometime you should do a special 'reason to love' feature on Lee-Kirby between the summer of 65 and the summer of 67, a period that saw a whole lot of bizarre creativity above and beyond the Living Planet. Somebody was slipping something significant into Mr. Kirby's cigars during that period, methinks. You should have shown Ego's anti-bodies, they were cool.

But they don't really offend me anyway, so I suppose we're cool. I know enough about Morrissey and his fans to have one, so hence, my previous statements. Also, I went back and reread that article about Morrissey's fan base, and he actually has more of a Latino following then a gay-Latino following. Not that the gay community doesn't embrace Mister Chastity, but to me, Morrissey being a sort of Latino icon is even more intersting than being a gay icon. So color me corrected on my previous statement. Can Morrissey be a reason to love comics? I'm sure Grant Morrisson has written a comic called "Meat is Murder" or "Irish Blood, English Heart.", hasn't he?

After all he has survived his current storyline in GL Corps. Adam Jones: I was surprised that you did not state that you were cool with the gay latino teens the way you are cool with Morrisey.
