The other thing I learned from Secret Wars was that in the 80's, the sky was pink like 60% of the time.

haha, you managed to confuse chlop!!  Well done!

Whose butt am I looking at on Hulk's left shoulder?

Posted by JeffR on 04/17/09 at 03:00 PM

Give me a link or give me context!

Posted by Simmons on 04/17/09 at 03:03 PM

@JeffR: It's She-Hulk.

@NeoApocalypse - it's a secret known by few but I guess the time has come to divulge it - Galactus spent most of the time sitting around in his pink undergarments on his couch watching earth and eating chips, but then Knight Rider was cancelled. He was docile for most of the time, but that was too much even for him.

That is why the sky is pink.

They just did the footnotes for this issue on Comic Geek Speak yesterday. What are the odds?

Posted by BrianBaer on 04/17/09 at 03:12 PM

@neoApocalypse & Chlop It's a well documented fact that there was no sun in the 80s except in John Cusack movies. Ever wonder why there was so much Neon in the 80s? And why women needed to wear leg warmers? It was damn cold with no sun! Corey Heart had to wear sunglasses at night because there was no other choice!

Also, Rhodey is awesome precisely because of this.

So the entire Blues music genre is based on a longing for blue-skied days?

Would you drop this? http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2q22veh&s=5  I don't think so

Posted by Jesse1125 on 04/17/09 at 08:02 PM

I think it was a Mountain RANGE......he musta been pissed!

Posted by Animalvader1 on 04/17/09 at 09:36 PM

Wow, what did you guys use to scan that image it looks great!

 Maybe I should give digital comics a try.

@FanboyStrikesBackDavid: It came from the Omnibus.

Posted by conor on 04/18/09 at 02:21 AM

@Conor,

Thanks, I may need to pick that one up

Posted by FanboyStrikesBackDavid on 04/18/09 at 03:10 AM

James Rhodes is awesome. This is only one of the reasons. :)

Terrence Howard wold never be able to pull this off. Don Cheadle can!

Posted by epog on 04/18/09 at 01:38 PM

May I propose a second installment in this series featuring the panel just before Batman punches out Guy Gardener in Giffen and DeMatteis' Justice League no. 5, where Guy yells "I bite!" I've always wanted that panel on a t-shirt.

Posted by ActualButt on 04/18/09 at 02:43 PM

That said, I completely forgot that that was Rhodes in the armor in Secret Wars.

Posted by ActualButt on 04/18/09 at 02:49 PM

@Chlop - Shouldn't it be watching CHiPs and eating Earth?

Posted by jjkish7 on 04/18/09 at 05:01 PM

I, too, love the GREAT MOMENTS in comic history and hope it becomes a fixture of iFanboy pages for years to come. Bravo Conor Kilpatric. BRAVO!

Posted by DenverDave on 04/18/09 at 07:09 PM

Isn't this thing like the mini "what were they thinking?".

@HankGrit - in that case, it takes him a while to set up the food table. Also he eats in his underwear because he thinks no one is watching... big mistake. 

Posted by chlop on 04/19/09 at 04:15 AM

@chlop: All living beings see Galactus differently. Your mind chose a giant man in pink panties. INTERESTING!

Posted by MikeHaseloff on 04/19/09 at 05:07 AM

@MikeHaseloff - Thanks. You filled my childish mind with glee.

Posted by chlop on 04/19/09 at 05:45 AM

Ah, memories of 80s Marvel comics! This just made my night. secret Wars was just some awesome stupid fun back in the day, wasn't it?

Posted by JohnVFerrigno on 04/19/09 at 11:14 PM

This is so cool I remember growing up on those Marvel Comics The Secret Wars we're Anthony Stark was replaced by this Black Dude known as James Rupert Rhodes whom later turn out to be War Machine in the future Iron Man sagas even though this comic surely brings back the memories of the good old 1908's era thanks for posting it though.
