Our Souls inc. Posted March 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 We ( LungBuster ) used to play at a place in Phoenix called JugHeads a lot. Then the Archie people came by and made 'em change the name. Now it's J-heads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ihocky2 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 I also like that you used Marvel and not DC. Stan Lee is the man. I respectfully disagree. Stan Lee was given the job my his uncle and put his name on others work as the writer. Note that with the exception of the Silver Surfer series (which was horribly written), he didn't "write" anything without using an artist who could write as well, thus allowing him to abuse his position to hijack their work. What Stan IS is a great huckster and salesman. He's very charismatic and a terrific face for the company. JACK KIRBY was the man. Without Jack, we wouldn't have Marvel, period. The one positive I can say about Stan's "work" on the books he did with Jack is he gave them some focus. Kirby was overflowing with ideas & stories, but didn't have focus enough to tell them in a sensible way. Just look at his work at DC. He was given a free hand and created some great things, but frankly the stories weren't that good. Interesting information. I cannot even come close to calling myself a comic junkie, I still harass my brother inrlaw that graphic novels and comics are the same thing. But of the comics I did read here and there as a kid Marvel was always the better publisher in my book. Better characters, better stories. Up until now all I ever knew was that Stan Lee is Marvel Comics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avengers63 Posted March 24, 2010 Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 Stan has been, is, and will continue to be the public face for Marvel. He's really good at it. As for him putting his mane on their work, I have no proof other than observation and what I've been able to pick up in interviews. Nobody would ever admit it much less ask the questions. Except for Jack Kirby, who openly called Stan a no-talent hack who only ever had a job in the industry because his uncle gave it to him. Jack was pretty bitter after he left Marvel, and his stories weren't always the most accurate, so maybe it's true, maybe not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ripthorn Posted March 14, 2011 Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 Every time I see the build thread, my gut instinct is to pronounce it the comi-caster, which I always think "isn't that politically incorrect?", then I remember which guitar it is and remember "oh yeah, it's that cool comic one, got it." I just thought that was funny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zyonsdream Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 I see you put this up in the GOTM....might be your first win! I had a buddy who used to do this with bear bottle labels. Thought those were cool and I think this one is too. I've had pine guitars...you might be surprised at how many budget guitars are pine.

demonx Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Looks pretty cool for a "theme" guitar! It's easy for them to turn out cheesy but this one doesn't look cheesy at all. Good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Our Souls inc. Posted January 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Thank you both. It was a fun build, and I was happy with the final result. I'll bring the poster finish back eventually, but that was the last one I successfully completed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
