If I were a hero, I'd be Martin Luther (Part 1030)...

Superhero Anydays

Today was have a photo from the first graphic novel ever published: The Death Of Captain Marvel. Not only was it the first graphic novel but it was a very rare (at the time circa 1981) circumstance of the death of a superhero: Captain Marvel. Oh, and it's by Jim Starlin.

We have, clockwise from lower left: Wolverine, The Hulk, Iron Man, Daredevil, Drax the Destroyer, Mr. Fantastic, Thor, Dr. Strange, Captain America, The Thing, and Spider-Man.

Oh, and he died of cancer.

And today we have internet celeb Allen Waiserman, in a Spider-Man costume.
