Hello again, Mike. How is your Comic class going? I once took a class called the Psychology of Sex Roles (I think that was the name) in my college days at the University of Michigan, quite a while ago, I must admit. My final paper was on sex rolls in comic books. I received an A on the paper and an A in the class, much to my surprise! You and any of your students are more than welcome to explore my posts, as well as the rest of the site. Thanks! – greg

Forgot I’d praised this two years ago, Greg! Now I’m getting ducks in a row, resources loaded n’ ready, to teach my Winter semester (online of course) Comics class. Hope my students take advantage of the link to this page to explore your site more. I sure intend to. Best Wishes and Happy 2021.

Mike, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment on one of my posts! It really was a great issue of Esquire and a really great ad (so to speak) for Marvel Comics back in 1966. I’m sure Stan Lee was thrilled, at the time, that a major magazine was covering his comics line.

I teach a Comics class at Saginaw Valley State U., and was recently taking about this issue’s impact on (eleven-year-old) me. Will show this to the class, thanks! I remember my mom’s nervous answer when I asked about (Sexual Freedom League hocho) “Jefferson Poland, God of Free Love.”

Chris, thanks for the nice comments! And I’m glad I could direct you to my posts. I think a number of them should interest you, as we both love all those early Marvel goodies to be found, either in person or via the internet! See ya soon.

This…is great. Greg, as you know we see one another at BTTP often, almost weekly, always enjoy our back-forth conversations, but wasn’t fully aware of the posts, your posts, and fabulous finds you put up on the site. Until now. I am a huge Kirby and Marvel fan, as you know– so say many of us, and.. am one of the “men of a certain age” that frequent the shop and your auctions; and this is…right in the wheelhouse. Just fabulous, and Kirby and Severin’s artwork especially. I had no idea of this issue, and/or its contents, from Esquire, but do now. And am now fully in the hunt via Ebay etc for a copy to keep, thanks to this. Love the descriptions, your thoroughness and the pics. And your insights–that Marvel was clearly breaking through on college campuses, as this issue attests to. Exclesior! True believers indeed. Thank you, again, great work, and ‘Nuff said!
