    Malibu Comics tried to get Pez to license their characters on Pez dispensers. It never happened, but Barry Windsor-Smith did some cool Rune Pez art.

    On May 10-12, 2002, artist John Romita Jr. set a Guinness World Record by penciling Spider-Man sketches and signing autographs in Times Square for 51 hours and 26 minutes consecutively. His efforts raised more than $10,000 to benefit his niece, who suffered from brain cancer.

    On April 13, 2005, legendary editor and artist Giordano said, “I've had at least one Rob Roy to drink every day for the last 40 years. It's kinda become my signature drink.” That’s 14,600 Rob Roys!

    Artist Gene Colan modeled his Dracula in Marvel’s Tomb of Dracula after actor Jack Palance. In the days before Google and DVRs, Colan would actually sit in front of the TV with a Polaroid camera when Palance was on and shoot photo reference right from the screen!

    Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster’s famous contract with DC sold Superman for $130, plus a 10-year contract to do the book, plus 32.5% to 40% of net proceeds derived from the newspaper strip, plus 5% of all other licensing. In 1942 alone, they made $63,776.46 in Superman income, the equivalent of $986,459.35 in 2017 dollars.

    In 1940, DC Comics developed its first set of standards and practices. Among the rules, the word “FLICK” was banned, due to fear the lettering could run together and result in an altogether new word.

    Ayers was colorblind - but he colored. He kept all his paints in jars where he could read the labels. Artists John Severin, Tim Sale, John Byrne, and Howard Chaykin are also colorblind.

    Remember when we could start a poll inside a thread, not in just the first post? Anyway, option #3. The gray color is dismal.
