Suffering Sappho!

As someone who grew up reading my uncle's old superhero comics of the 1950s and 60s at my grandmother's house, I have to say that this is simultaneously the most awesome and the most horrifying thing I've ever seen. Be warned, it's a serious time-waster, but it's worth it. Link via the comments at Crooked Timber.

Ah yes, the Silver Age was a bizarre time.

By the way, have you read Micheal Chabon's The Amazing Adventures of Cavalier and Clay, which is a novel set during the Golden Age of comics prior to WWII?
