Nice mixture.
"a pretty big villain"
Pun intentional?
While we're on the subject of big, bald villains: Reading about the creation of Superman last night (in a newly-published book that commemorates Action Comics reaching the age of 80), I discovered that Jerry Siegel's father had died when his store was robbed... and that a letter decrying vigilante justice that was printed in their local paper the next day had been signed by_
'A.L. Luther'.
Love this one. Ma Kent using a dating service!
D'Onofrio has said he would love to reprise the character confronting Spider-Man.
I agree. Michael Clarke Duncan was an undeniably versatile character actor, taken much too soon. But, for me, Wilson "The Kingpin" Fisk seems so much more ruthless and corrupt as a _white_ crimelord (and always will)!
With regard to today's cover? I can see Spidey being brought into the mix via a long-lost cousin (perhaps even half-brother?) of his Uncle Ben. Smallville Police Chief Douglas Parker!
At least it's not Doc Ock.
Reminds me of when Aunt May and Dr. Octopus had a "thing."
Yeah that storyline definitely inspired this one.
The Kingpin might (partly) be a product of the early 1960s ignorance of the existence of blacks in many comic books (though it's likely better than"Amos 'n' Andy"-type depictions. Also may Stan Lee, who sent a video saying that he's alive and well (in response to his rumored disappearance) make it to 100 years old.
also: Doesn't the Kingpin look cartoonish?
Is that a kryptonite tie pin I see?
Which is why Superboy can't get too close...
All the more reason he should team up with Spidey in a near-future sequel. ;-)
Anonymous: Cartoonish? John Romita art? Sir, I shall meet you with pistols at dawn! (But it looks as if it was inked by Frank Giacoia, who spent some of his career as being recognizable... sometimes at the cost of subtlety.)
Ross, this is a great one, and I LOVE the kryptonite tie pin! And for my money, you can't reprint enough Curt Swan. Well, or John Romita, either... :)
re: Kingpin's alleged cartoonishness.
I'll take both Johns Romita over Franks Robbins and Springer, anyday.
Perhaps it's because I've lived in Japan for the last dozen and a half years, but I was hoping that Kingpin would have first been portrayed by a retired Sumo player.
While it's true the comic book Kingpin is seen as a non-competitive sumotori, his being depicted as Amerasian on the silver screen might result in groundless accusations of Yellow Peril-ism.
