Closer look at the white versions of Magneto and Emma Frost from Kotobukiya. It’s a real thrill to work on three dimensional stuff like this. #kotobukiya #marvel #xmen #whitequeen #emmafrost #magneto #adigranov

Okay but Karlie Kloss’s Met Gala outfit is the most Emma Frost thing I’ve ever seen in real life. Like are we sure that Kris Anka did not draw this?

[kristaferanka]

[fromtodayandtomorrow]

@kristaferanka! IT GOT BETTER! The designer cut it short afterwards to make a party dress.

Kyle Baker 1985-1986: “It’s Genetic” from Marvel Age #31 - 60

Having landed an internship at Marvel somewhat effortlessly and being well-liked in the Bullpen, Baker could have been a shoo-in for a bright future at Marvel. The big problem is that Marvel is mostly in the superhero business, and Baker is the first to admit he’s not a big superhero fan.

I was still trying to be funny, and I had been submitting strips to syndicates with no luck. It’s very hard to get into a newspaper syndicate. Jim Shooter and Stan Lee both tried to help me get into the syndicate that does the Spider-Man strip. Shooter liked me — I was doing some Marvel stuff, too — but he felt that I was just all wrong for Marvel, because they didn’t do any comedy. So he was always trying to get me set up at the syndicate so he could get rid of me. [laughter] That was nice of him — I’m not knocking him.

During his time freelancing at Marvel, Jim Salicrup commissioned him to write a few one-panel gags about the X-Men, called “It’s Genetic” published sporadically in the pages of Marvel Age’s “Mutant Report” feature. 

Baker did twelve of these comics over the course of a little over a year and it’s the first time we get to see him in his element. I have a fond memory of these comics and loved the way he drew such a short squat Wolverine.

A Farewell Interview with Marvel's Jeanine Schaefer

Last month comics readers who value female characters, creators and readers lost one of the most vocal and productive voices within the big two corporate comics with the departure of Jeanine Schaefer from Marvel. Schaefer started her career at DC Comics but soon moved to Marvel where she spent nine years in variety of increasingly important editorial positions. During her time at Marvel Schaefer became a one of the most visible non-creator voices for women in comics. But she wasn’t just a voice; she also drove initiatives such as Girl Comics, a series devoted to showcasing female creators. She also served as the host of the Women of Marvel panels at conventions that provided a conduit to female comic readers while showcasing Marvel’s female editorial team and creators.

For anyone who is a fan of female characters and believes that bringing female readers into comics is positive or just enjoys good comics, Schaefer stepping away is a loss. Schaefer departed Marvel to move to the West Coast to join her husband Mark Doyle who heads up the Bat-books at DC Comics.  I chatted with Schaefer via email about her decision to leave Marvel, her time at the publisher and how the market for female comics and creators has changed.
