When I wuz younger it used ta' bother me that Aquaman could control some kinds a' mammals an' birds.

Now, though, I like the idea that his powers are mystical an' extend over sea creatures as a more nebulous concept.

That's right Arthur, just give 'em a taste, ya' gorgeous spicy tuna!

There's just somethin' so charmin' about Kirby's straightforward namin' style. Who don't wanna read a tale a' Hero Goodguy vs. Bigbad Von Villain?

What would other comic characters be called if Kirby had named 'em, poozers? Would Batman's alter ego be Charlie Chiropta?

Jack Kirby in 1971 perfectly encapsulatin' how I feel 'bout Superman. This is why he's the king!

The so-called "fans" who hate modern Star Wars might have watched the old movies, but they sure didn't never engage with 'em or think about 'em even fer one second.

#Marvel #CaptainAmerica #158 (1973) - 6/10
A fun read.

1️⃣ #TheFalcon goes after The Viper.

2️⃣ A villain who poisons the heroes and leaves the antidote lying nearby! 😆 Only in comics. Also worth noting, this antidote apparently gives Cap superpowers!?!

3️⃣ Some of this issue is a straight-up repeat of the last one. Falc visits Morgan the crime boss. Again. For no reason.

On Sale: November 7, 1972.
