Brb shipping Bane and Kingsnake to make him mad
I BEG your pardon
Is this about the wondertwin smoothie thing or
Is there something I am not aware of
Mr. Dixon sir if you want to write “apolitical” comics maybe pick a hero who’s not Ollie Freakin’ Queen
Well, this wasn’t what I expected to learn today.
To make this post funny here is a Tim meme that I’m sure has been posted in here already but made me laugh when I saw it today:
Sorry for bringing up Dixon’s homophobia again, but I have to point out that the reason why Dixon stopped writing Big Two comics was because, of all things, the Marvel western hero The Rawhide Kid being gay in a Marvel MAX miniseries.

The artist really said “Yes sir Mr. Dixon sir, make it as homoerotic as I possibly can, duly noted.”
i think Dixon’s fevered brain was trying to make the point that making a character gay is a random and aberrant attention-seeking stunt akin to making them a cannibal. (it’s possible he was conflating them morally, too, but i instantly stopped caring what that guy thinks!)
I loved the old Rawhide kid comics (back in the Stan Lee and Jack Kirby era). I read the Dixon mini-series a few years ago when I learned it existed. As I recall, it was a strange series that had a few good moments in it, but was mostly an uncomfortable read. After I read it I did a little research and found out about how controversial it was.
The reddit article was interesting. Another case of “Never meet your heroes”.
I feel like this insults everyone that I like other than Alex Ross.
This is great
And with looking up guides.
