Posting problems again so this is half of the links you were supposed to receive yesterday. Since I couldn’t remember what the other two were, you get two brand new ones for today, also.
I got the recent 2 volume box set of Harvey Kurtzman’s Humbug for my birthday in January. Looks like our pal Rip just picked up a copy, too, and here he shares a cover gallery.

Here’s Man-God, Marvel’s retitled black and white adaptation of Phillip Wylie’s archetypal prose superhero novel, Gladiator, as seen through the eyes of Roy Thomas and artist Tony DeZuniga.

Here’s some interesting illustrated speculation on the age of the Silver Age Superman using pertinent info and panels from the comics themselves as well as early ads and letters pages.

Finally today, the first two appearances of Archie Andrews’ African-American pal Chuck Clayton, introduced as a token black character in 1971 but now a major player in the Riverdale gang!
