Tales From The Quarter Bin--The 1970s Marvel Version Of Birdman!!

Matt Murdock is escorting Foggy's sister Candace to the theater!

Hell, so am I. Let me just tell you upfront--this will be the greatest single play you have ever seen, EVER!

"America Shall Endure"?? "An avant garde pro-patriotism play"?!?! Buckle up guys, it's going to be a stormy show.

Here we go...













Man, I just love the legitimate theater!!

SPOILER ALERT: there were some mind-control hijinks going on, so we really don't have a fair idea of what our avant-garde pro-patriotism play was like. Still, I think we have to give the Tony to Steve Gerber, right?!?

From Marvel Two-In-One #3 (1974)

    Ah, 70s Marvel. The artistic quality of it was great, but the politics of the deeply insular post-hippie bullpen writer was really quite laughable, especially when you stopped and considered how everything was basically a series of strawmen and author insertions.

    AUTHOR-INSERTION CHARACTER: "America is really [radical statement]
    READER WHO ISN'T A COLLEGE FRESHMAN: "Uh...no, you're in maybe the 10% who believe that..."
    AUTHORIAL-INSERTION PLOT MECHANIC: America is MIND-CONTROLLED!
