I dunno, I bet you can think of at least a few people you know who’d find those issues at least as, if not more, erotic than the tiles imply (I know I can). Some of them will probably commenting shortly…

If you’re not getting erotica out of all your comic books, you just aren’t trying hard enough.

What about “This Man, This Giant Cock Made of Rock”?

Always thought there was a little innuendo going on with that one or something, but I could be wrong. Who knows?

Thanks for amusing yourself.

Hey, that kind of works too!

“Forgetting” and “ignoring because the joke, if it ever was funny, is anti-humor now” are two different things.

What about “The Savage Sword of Conan?”

Ah camahn. It’s old as hell, but you gotta admit that “Giant-Size Man Thing” in itself is pretty funny.

I don’t see anything about the Iron Fist in that selection. Make it happen.

What about â€œThe Savage Sword of Conan?â€

I donâ€™t see anything about the Iron Fist in that selection.

Wow, those are all great suggestions! If any of them were actually from the Silver Age or actually story titles, I’d be sure to use them!

I read through thinking it was all supposed to be one story with a title composed of other titles.

Christ, Chris, if it weren’t for the fact that you’re such a raging misogynist, I’d think your comments section had been invaded by scans_daily!

Actually, Lana is the only of the two that ended up on street corners trading herself for a meal.

You’d need a whole section on “The Rawhide Kid,” wouldn’t you? I mean, “He shares his saddle with danger.”
