Beyond his art, Neal Adams is rightfully remembered as an eternal champion of creators’ rights and for the part he & his work played in the Comics Code revision of ‘71 but his contribution to John Stewart’s creation is – I think –  a rather underrated aspect of his career, especially as it’s such a great reminder of the kind of person he was. Taken from an interview conducted and transcribed by Allen W. Wright over at the Green Arrow: Bold Archer fansite, here’s Neal discussing John’s beginnings (x).

it would suck being a new immortal. like it’d be 2109 and people would go, “what was it like seeing ancient civilizations rise and fall like that? seeing the pyramids being built? watching the expansion and growth of the new world?” and i’d just be like, “no…no i was born in 1991. so like, wow i’m gonna see some cool stuff, but, i mean i’m not that much older than just a really, really old person, you know? phones were big back then. so big. but only for like ten years, then they got like, as good as they are now. uh. rhinos existed. don’t think i ever saw one in person. cool, good talk.”

[ayellowbirds]

even worse, imagine being an immortal who keeps missing stuff. “What was it like seeing the pyramids being built?” “Fuck if I know, I was in Madagascar.” “Oh, okay. Well, how was the Renaissance?” “I fell down a hole in Scotland and people thought I was an enchanted well for four hundred years, it was over by the time I convinced someone to get me out.”

[erkhyan]

And now, a lesson in biases:

We barely know anything about Madagascar pre-500CE. We don’t even know whether the island had a permanent population before then, despite finding a bunch of much older signs of temporary human presence.

Malagasy mythology makes mention of the vazimba, a “precursor” ethnic group that might or might not be distinct from Madagascar’s current population.

The point is, we do not know.

So you were in Madagascar when the pyramids were being built in Egypt, i.e. during one of the most obscure, most undocumented parts of Madagascar’s human history?

Oh, buddy, you better go and make a bunch of anthropologists and archeologists really happy RIGHT NOW instead of feeling bad about missing everyone else’s pet Major Event.

Funny colours to put together, but I swear it’s gonna look so good.

I never would have picked these colours out on their own, but they are the colours in the panel, so it’ll match.

Oh my gooooooooood I love this.

Still have to quilt it (and figure out what to put on the back) but wow.

I say that a lot about my quilts, but i fall in love with almost every one for different reasons 💖

‘We genuinely have too many potatoes, I cannot stress enough’: 42,000 pounds of free taters headed to Denver

Twenty-one tons of potatoes are up for grabs at Potato Palooza on Monday.

The nonprofit’s set to receive a donation of 21 tons of tubers this weekend from suppliers in the Midwest. Hoping to get the starchy vegetables to people in need, the nonprofit will host a “Potato Palooza” event on Monday in Park Hill. “Anyone is welcome to come. They can bring tote bags, wagons, you could back up your pickup truck if you wanted to,” Hissong said. The event is 9 a.m. to noon at the Park Hill Food Recovery Hub, 6090 East 39th Avenue, on July 27.

This is the dream

Important research for a story I'm writing! Not real life, never real life.

You are transported back in time and into the body of a young noblewoman in the 1400s. Your parents have married you off to an awful, abusive, rapist husband whom literally no one else would marry despite him being very high nobility because he's that terrible. You successfully produce a baby boy and then plan to murder this man for the good of everyone and yourself. Here is the question: do you think you could murder him in a way that is undetectable to the historical people around you? Note: they aren't stupid, you are the prime suspect as the battered wife AND you can't just say poison. Where are you going to buy poison? Do you know anything about poison actually? NO GOOGLING! You were sent back without a plan!

Do you think you could murder someone in the 1400s and get away with it with your modern know-how?

Yes, I totally have a plan (tell me for research purposes)

No, I realize that I'm very uninformed about murder

I have some ideas but I'm not sure they would work

Voting ended onJun 18

Edit: my notes are full of murder. I love you all

Edit: to clarify about the poison, you can use poison if you actually know how to identify it, I'm saying you can't just go "Poison!" with no knowledge about poison. Buying it probably means they know that poison and you're caught. Your personal knowledge when you read this post is all you have.

Another point of clarity: You went through all that trouble to have a baby without modern medicine so you could get the sweet house after your husband died. That's why you can't be caught. No disappearing.

Edit again: Air embolisms are going on a high shelf because the syringe won't be invented for 350 years. Prove to me that you could make one from scratch, lol

I promise to stop making edits (lol): I left the country vague because I just wanted to see ideas for modern vs. past. Whatever place you are most knowledgeable about

Oh no, she edits again: This man is like 25, not very old. He's not dying of natural causes or even alcohol consumption any time soon. Imagine a university student liver.

[bethanydelleman]

Due to way too many people thinking that they, in the body of a noblewoman, can suffocate a drunk nobleman no problem, or push him down the stairs, I had my character try this. Unfortunately, he is way stronger than her and was not suffocate-able. You know people thrash if you cover their airways? Drunk or asleep doesn't stop that. He also became increasingly violent with alcohol. This is a very dangerous plan, in my opinion.

I have started to really wonder if the people suggesting this have ever fought a man as a woman. I have three brothers and I wrestled with them a lot as a kid. They are way stronger than me. They started to be able to overpower me pretty young and I was six years older. Maybe I'm just a weak person, I'm not very athletic, but neither would Miss Noblewoman here be athletic.

I don't know, maybe this isn't everyone's experience, but I find the confidence in this sort of plan baffling. Also, if you try to push him down the stairs and he catches you? You are going down those stairs. You are dead. Game over.

Maybe it's because I didn't specify an age and everyone is imagining this guy as like, old and bloated. He's young and healthy. He will fight back. He's violent! Alcohol and violent man are not a mix you should encourage!

Unrelated note: You aren't making the food. Nobility. Nobility is an important part of this equation.

[skeleton-richard]

Easy. If he’s that violent and you’re clearly being battered, you can get someone to help you. People knew abuse was wrong, even if the abuser was nobility. Assuming you have brothers or some other male relative, you can get them to help.

What you do is get rid of him the same way William II of England died— a Hunting Accident. For context, William II died out hunting, and it’s pretty clear it probably wasn’t an accident. What you do is you tell your brothers what’s going on— they’ve probably seen or at least heard (if they’re not present a lot) what your husband does, and how the threat of losing your dowry hasn’t worked on him. They’ll help engineer it so he gets injured or outright killed in a hunt.

Boars, a common hunting target, are super dangerous, as are harts (fully grown stags). Richard II of England’s boyfriend Robert de Vere died from being gored by a boar a few years before (1392), so there are plenty of high-profile legitimate accidents in recent memory. All your accomplices have to do is let him get attacked by an animal and not rescue him, or shoot him with a wayward arrow and let it be an accident.

No one is going to really question it. Especially if he was that visibly awful that you’d be the prime suspect.

[shredsandpatches]

☝️

This is the correct answer for a medieval noblewoman -- hunting is basically THE aristocratic pastime, after all, and if MC's husband is so famously awful nobody else will even marry him, she could probably find some people to cooperate pretty easily, including family (it's a matter of honor after all). Especially if the succession is secure.

A modern person transported back in time wouldn't even have to know too much real-life medieval history for inspiration--she'd have a pop-cultural example ready if she watched Game of Thrones. Which also emphasizes the pivotal role of booze in this kind of endeavor.

[kvotheunkvothe]

I still wouldn't rule out poison if you can just get one kitchen person or serving person to help. Yes, even if you don't know shit about poison. Because you know what else you probably don't know shit about? Mushrooms. And many of them can kill you through ignorance just as easily. Just keep collecting mushrooms to pass along to your helper, and sooner or later the one that gets added to his dish (and not yours--that part is critical) will kill him horribly OR incapacitate him enough to put smothering back on the table.
