thebitterguyFrom some wacky newspaper piece on DC and Marvel:
DC, back then: It's your kid brother, wacked out on Pop-Tarts, still in his underpants at 10 a.m., insisting on "Super Friends" over "Josie and the Pussycats in Outer Space." Thinks he's Batman at night, thinks he's Aquaman in the tub. It's make-believe, make-believe, make-believe. A hot dog is not a death ray, now sit down and eat. And who used all of the red and orange crayons? And why is Robin always in here naked with my Barbies?
Marvel, back then: It's your big sister's boyfriend, already 18 and "kind of different, but nice," your mother observes, although he rides a motorcycle with no helmet. He draws an Incredible Hulk for you on a sheet of paper, and that's it, you're hooked, he's a god. From him you learn about Ghost Rider and Conan the Barbarian and Silver Surfer. He listens to Rush.
Oh, yeah. My mind is not for rent to ANY God or Government.
