Firstly, Pat, I agree that that IS the worst picture of McCartney out there. I realize it is only a pic from the neck up, but I just feel like he is shirtless. And not shirtless a good way, but in a guy driving down the road in a rusted out Pinto kind of way. Maybe the old guys piecing this publication together were a little jealous the his popularity with the young girls and were trying to be unflattering.
Steve, once again, I think the publishers are trying to make themselves look more appealing in comparison. That images look like Terence Stamp is telling you under his breath that he has brutally slain your dog because YOU didn't return his phone call, and he hopes you won't make him do something like that again.
Rob!, KNEEL BEFORE ZOD!
7, that image makes Davy Jones look like a Hobbit. A very unappealing Hobbit.
When I first discovered romance comics I was amazed. How had I never known that something so ridiculously wonderful existed? Romance stories where girls (which apparently ALL women prefer to be called, not just me!) were never truly complete without a man by their side. Girls that wanted nothing more than a boy to take them away from their day-to-day lives as store clerks, socialites, or, god forbid, unpopular high school students. *gasp*
Some of the best stories were from Marvel, where many of them touted "As Told to Stan Lee". Now don't get me wrong, Stan Lee rules, but I refuse to believe that any girl ever felt compelled to pour out her soul to him and then let him publish it all in comic form.
These comics where full of loneliness, "hip slang", rich men and misunderstood bad boys just waiting for the right girl to come along.
So, lets forget all about Elizabeth Gaskell and Jane Austen. Let's sit down and enjoy stories of secretaries and the architects that will let them quit their jobs and support them.
I am a great fan of comics, View-Masters, magazine and book cover illustrations from the 50's, 60's and 70's, as well as old horror films. So that I don't drive my husband too crazy (or distract him too long from his own obsessions) I have chosen to obsess to strangers.
I'm even more surprised to learn that Terence Stamp was a heart-throb. I've never seen him as anything but creepy!
ReplyDeleteAlso has to be the worst ever picture of McCartney from that era.
ReplyDelete"*sigh* 'Mrs. Terence Stamp'. I guess I like the sound of that.."
ReplyDeleteAlso, that's about the creepiest photo of Davy Jones ever! (And no, he didn't use an "e" in his first name!)
