It´s a Spitfire Saturday with Frank Robbins !

Still trying to finish up my latest post. But while looking for some pictures I found original art from Marvel Comics´ INVADERS series by Frank Robbins which reminded me that I never got around to write that Invaders post, did I ? Plus it would not be a bad idea to cut some parts from the other posts which have gotten to long. So let´s travel back in time to World War II with Captain America and his patriotic pals, the invincible Invaders.


Now a big part of the reason why I decided to do this post even though I still have five posts to finish ( besides the fact that I´m crazy ) is that over the last years I have become a big fan of Frank Robbins. Regular blog followers may remember that I wrote a HOUSE OF MYSTERY spotlight post for him in April of 2020 and most of the art in my MAN FROM ATLANTIS MONDAY post is also by Frank. I almost bought the CLASSIC INVADERS trade paperbacks but then I had to move to Spain and now they have gone up in price. I still would prefer to get the issues in a nice hardcover so it seems my only option is to spring the 100 + bucks for the upcoming omnibus - if I live that long. With a bit of luck amazon will have it with a discount. But now let´s get to the rip roaring days when Captain America and Bucky were fighting Ratzkis side by side with Spitfire, Union Jack, the Human Torch, Toro and Namor, the Avenging Son. By the way, did americans really call the Nazis " Ratzkis " or was that just in the comics ? I need to know.

Since I already posted some episodes from the original Captain America cartoon from the 60s - and these are not that easy to come by - here are the top 10 Captain America fights from the best Avengers tv show ever.

Speaking of the best tv shows ever, fellow pop culture historian Leo Gonzales from Ayer Nomas takes a look at another cult tv series from the 80s Airwolf thus keeping the military theme in the bonus section going.


Staying on the small screen we take a history of comics on film lesson with the second Captain America tv movie Captain America II : Death Too Soon.


I was thinking about an appropriate music video for the post but I didn´t want to resort to the obvious candidates like In The Army Now so I was going through bands - preferably hot female ones - in military gear which finally brought me to Brown Eyed Girls and their performance of Sixth Sense. To my big surprise I could not find any mention of the girls having trouble even though you can almost see the color of the underwear of the girl doing the leg split and the only controversy that is documented is that some critics said that the political and social message in the song may be overshadowed by their sultry performance. And while they have gotten no rebuke because of their on steamy stage moves so far I must say that I´d like to spend some quality time with the talented girl who does the splits.


One of Captain America´s most talked about storylines at the moment is Captain America No More ! in which Steve Rogers gave up the costume, identity and most importantly the shield of Captain America to don a new black costume and go by the name of The Captain while somebody more inclined to follow the orders of the government without asking too many questions was given the mantle of Captain America. Mostly due to the fact that it was the main plot of the Falcon And The Winter Soldier tv show. I was thinking about how to tie this all in and as usual I had a brain fart because I didn´t even check my old Captain America posts until now.


I did cover the broad strokes of Captain America No More ! in the intro to my ridiculously long BIG CAPTAIN AMERICA POST from May of 2007 where I go through my entire reading history of CAPTAIN AMERICA. And the fact that I included the main part ( an essay about why Captain America is the most important hero in the Marvel universe which I wrote for the german comicbook newsfeed website COMICGATE ) not only in english but also in german ( since I had originally written it in german ) made it only that much longer. Which was the reason why in August of 2011 I finally decided to re - post my überlong Captain America post into shorter parts which are easier to digest. So we have the introduction - which I split up into part 1 which includes the Captain America No More ! stuff, part 2 and part 3 ( yep, that´s how long the originl post was ) and the main part . I also did another version of only the german part without the super long intro.


Plus I also wrote spotlight posts for CAPTAIN AMERICA artists John Romita Senior , Sal Buscema , Steve Epting and writer Mark Waid . Coming back to our video, it doesn´t just cover Captain America No More ! but all the times Steve Rogers quit being Captain America and the significance of it. 


I JUST DROPPED IN TO SEE WHAT CONDITION MY CONDITION WAS IN

Speaking about epic comicbook storylines, I recently stumbled upon a pretty good indicator that the intellectual state of the comic industry in Amerika is declining. Try out this mental excersize : no matter when you started reading comics - in the 60s, the 70s, the 80s or even the 90s - I am sure you remember the classic stories from the first 5 years. I´m sure they are story arcs or single issues ( how I miss the old Done In One format ), mini series, crossovers or graphic novels that have stood the test of time.


Got that list ? Okay. Now comes the hard part : name the classic comic stories that were created in the last 5 years. Quod erat demonstrandum.


Continuing with the men in the military theme we have At War With The Army from 1950 starring the comedy duo of Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis.

Believe it or not but this was the first movie that came to my mind, mainly for Jerry Lewis´ Beans song. Having been in the military I know how basic the nutrition tends to be ( there´s a reason why the potato sacks for the german military are labeled only apt for pig farming and Bundewehr ) and the food always tastes the best when you are on Manöver, in the fresh air.


Now I have posted the Beetle Bailey Special before but the video has been deleted from YouTube. Let´s hope this one sticks a little longer.


Time for another video with the rack - tastic Angie Griffin, one of the few female cosplayers on the planet who can give walking blow up sex doll Yaya Han and her huge hasian sexsation 40D porn implants a run for their money with her giant - sized ( and 100 percent all natural ! ) 41E double airbags.


Daimn, no disrespect to Scarlett Johansson but Angie is my choice for Black Widow and I bet her huge melons would turn Bucky into Fucky.


If the Black Widow had a body like that in the comicbooks it´s no wonder that Captain America insisted on interrogating her himself after she defected to the West to find out if she was still spying for the russians.


In an undisclosed motel. For a few months. Daimn, maybe it´s just me but Natasha Romanoff lost a lot of sex appeal when she stopped being a russian spy who used her special KGB sex techniques to get intel from hapless american studs with huge horsecocks. It´s the same with figure skater Katarina Witt ( and what a figure : 36C - 24 - 36 ). Ever since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany she lost a lot of her sex appeal. On the other side she has done a few PLAYBOY shootings since then which we would not have gotten if she was still in East Germany.


She has been in a few videos as Black Widow and while we are ( probably ) never going to see Angie naked - at least as that character - neither are we going to see Scarlett do the full monty since she has gone on record that she will never get naked in front of the camera. Which is one of the reasons why I still haven´t seen the Black Widow movie. Not that it has to be an x - rated movie, but now that they have killed her off the only way they can make one is to go into her past. So it´s a safe bet the movie will also address her spy training which with female spies includes intensive sex training. Which could make for a few good sex scenes but taking into account Scarlet´s unwillingness to shoot any nude scenes and the SJWs stranglehold on Hollywood they will do their damndest to prevent that.


Again, not that it is the only reason to watch the movie but these kind of films can get depressing. So why suffer through all of this drama if the movie doesn´t even have a redeeming Monster´s Ball style sex scene ?


With her huge XXL melons Angie Griffin was predestined to cosplay as nymphomanic sex toon Jessice Rabbit - which she pulled off effortlessly as expected - which is my not so subtle segueway as we continue my Top Ten Jessica Rabbit Lookalike Sexbomben casting from my latest JACK KIRBY FANTASTIC FOUR post with a video about the influence of Jessica Rabbit, not only on animated female characters but also in pop culture in general.


IVY DOES BETTER THAN ALL RIGHT - LIKE SOME OTHER SEXBOMBS DO

Longtime followers of the blog know that I am a big fan of The Voice in all of its many variations and if I had the possibility I would watch it 24 / 7.

As it is I wholly depend on clips I find on the interwebs like the following stunning performance by Ivy ( if anybody out there has any information on ravishing redhead Ivy like her last name or her measurements it would be much appreciated if you could let me know in the comments below ) which I tumbled upon while looking for more Jessica Rabbit cosplay clips.


I´M NOT BAD I JUST COSPLAY THAT WAY AND I AM GOOD AT BEING BAD

Which led me directly to Kristen Lanae and speaking about measurements, while most websites agree that she is an all natural 34 - 26 - 34 ( what they can´t agree on is her age which ranges from 20 to 30 ) I could not find any information on her bra size. I´m guessing it must be at least a DD or an E.


With that she´s not at Yaya Han or Angie Griffin´s level of overdeveloped oppai but she makes do with what she has and has delivered some really impressive cosplays from Velma Dinkley to the always popular Power Girl.


Checking out her stuff ( I don´t mean it in that way although you can find a lot of topless and naked pictures of Kristen Lanae ) I fell in the Kristen Lanae rabbit hole ( pun intended ) but I will have to wait with doing a full on cosplay spotlight post until I have the time for that. Or until I need to make another post shorter in order to finish it. Whatever happens first.


In the meantime definitely check her out especially her nude Mera pics.


I REALLY HAVE GIGANTIC BOOBS I WAS NOT JUST DRAWN THAT WAY

Okay, not only is this a no - brainer as Christina was literally born for this role - all natural 42H - 30 - 39 blow up sex doll anyone ? - I also mentioned a few times that she is my number one choice for this part. Yaya Han being number two. In fact my longtime followers are already tired of hearing it.


Likewise Christina Hendricks ( whom I cast as Maxima in my very first post about CASTING THE JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA MOVIE ) would be spot on for Rita Medermade, the redhead with the biggest boobs in the Savage Dragon universe with her gigantic megasized 42H ( !!!!! ) medicine balls.

ICH BIN KEINE SCHWANZMELKMASCHINE ICH WURDE SO GEZEICHNET !

Now I am going out on a limb here and maybe I´m the only one but I always thought that german Zuchtstute Verona Pooth - formerly Verona Feldbusch - would make a great Jessica Rabbit. Not only has she more curves than the Nürnburg Ring - and who would not love to see her huge boobs squeezed into a tight dress - but she just oozes with sex appeal.


I have mentioned her in quite a few posts now but I still haven´t gotten around to do a proper cult siren entry for her. And the main reason for that is I´m still hoping to find material on her wardrobe malfunction on TV Total where she couldn´t get her zipper down because of her giant boobs.


The incident happened on the tv show TV Total hosted by Stefan Raab ( I swear in Germany only despicable human beings get tv shows ) where she appeared in a blue bodysuit with a commercial. The zipper was halfway open and Stefan asked if she couldn´t shut it because of her big boobs.


Verona replied that she had wanted to leave the zipper open - pulling the zipper open to her navel - but the producers had told her no, so she had to close it up a bit - and with that she closed it again. Which got her a great reaction from the audience. Well, like I said, I couldn´t find the clip.


Another great moment of german tv history involving Verona´s titanic twin torpedoes happened on Stars bei der Arbeit ( Stars at Work ) hosted by Paul Panzer with special guest Kaya Yanar and despite the title it did not show stars at work - which would be showing them at what they do every day - but instead had them trying a job they hadn´t done before.


One of their most famous episodes was the one with german 34C - 24 - 34 über MILF Busenwunder Verona Pooth for obvious reasons. Verona is so incredibly hot that Paul Panzer´s glasses were actually all fogged up when she took off her jacket and revealed her breast assets ! While Kaya Yanar was drooling all over Verona´s voluptuous treasure chest Paul Panzer´s brain had apparently shut off because of a severe case of boob overload.


Goddamn, that gal has some huge knockers ! Anyway, I did get the DVD of the first season of Stars at Work and it´s totally worth it for this episode.


So far I still haven´t done a full cult siren post on the teutonic titty wonder because I can´t find any videos or clips of her breast tv moments in good quality and you can read more about that in the feature I did on her in my Phil Foglio / Tim Sale double feature birthday post from 2020 .


We will continue with the topic of my Top Ten Jessica Rabbit Lookalike Sexbomben casting in my new MARVEL AGE OF COMICS post and since I have already mentioned her a few times in this post it´s time for another video with 40D cosplay blow up sex bomb Yaya Han. Man, I can´t believe I haven´t posted this video before because I bookmarked it years ago but maybe it was fate because it fits the topic of our post perfectly and I have to say I wouldn´t mind getting some troop entertainment from Yaya Han.


Apropos troops, I have already posted the first episode of John le Carre´s spy drama Tinker Taylor Sailor Spy so here is episode one of the follow up series Smiley´s People once again starring the original Obi Wan Kenobi as well as Earl of Dorringcourt Sir Alec Guiness and Captain Jean Luc Picard Patrick Stewart, welcoming Alan Rickman and Curd Jürgens to the cast. 


Speaking of spies, everybody knows that the world´s greatest spy is british G - Man James Bond ( the fact that the greatest spy is not a US citizen has bugged the americans so much that they felt the need to ridiculize the whole idea of a british spy in the Austin Powers movies ) but how many do remember or at least have heard of James Bond Jr ?


Apropos things nobody remembers, as we are on the subject of soldiers I want to mention Frank Miller´s forgotten opus Give Me Liberty. Back in Germany I had the trade of this and all the floppies of the follow up mini series like Martha Washington Goes To War or Martha Washington Saves The World and I can´t for the life of me understand why this fantastic series never comes up when Frank Miller´s best works are discussed.


With Frank Miller writing and Watchmen´s Dave Gibbons on art you have two top notch creators and with Martha Washington you have a female lead who not only is an afro - american ( whole decades before it became en vogue with the SJWs ) but also has to overcome incredible obstacles.


Now I don´t claim that the following re - enlistment propaganda cartoon is any kind of masterpiece like Give Me Liberty ! but I was tricked by the hot harem girl in the preview picture and false promises of an adult cartoon.

I really have no idea where the adult part comes in, but I certainly share the guys life goals. A bunch of bra - busting, big breasted Busenwunder like nubian deepthroat nympho Janet Jackson or hasian 40D dicktaming machine Yaya Han all dolled up in skimpy slave girl outfits that don´t cover anything who attend my every wish ? Count me in. What is stretching the suspension of disbelief a bit is how the civilian life is portrayed in contrast to easy life in the military but this is still a propaganda cartoon after all.


Another reason for including the cartoon is as a segueway for Tonight´s movie for my german audience, Curse Of The Pharao from 1960 since it stars somebody who was shot into the hall of Hollywood boob fame by wearing a miniscule slave girl outfit : none other than belly dancing cult siren Debra Paget whom some of my readers might remember from Fritz Lang´s double feature of The Tiger Of Eschnapur and The Indian Tomb.

Especially the second one has gone down in erotic movie history because of Debra´s ultrasexy dance in a barely there outfit that only got through the censors through a miracle since it left nothing to the imagination.


With her mega raunchy performance sexbomb Debra Paget shot entire generations of prepubescent boys into puberty prematurely and it´s no wonder that she received more horny fan letters than silver screen sex icons like Betty Grable and Marilyn Monroe after the movie hit theaters.


For my spanish speaking followers Today´s feature film is Together For The Win a. k. a. Sidekicks. Besides martial arts legend Chuck Norris the movie stars Beau Bridges, Jonathan Brandis ( best known from SeaQuest 2030, Stephen King´s IT, Sledge Hammer with cult siren Anne - Marie Martin,


Alien Nation, the original The Flash tv show or Fall Into Darkness with afro - american aphrodite Tatyana Ali who was also his girlfriend at the time ),


sex hasian Julian Nickson ( whom you may have seen on also SeaQuest 2030, Nash Bridges, Babylon 5, Airwolf, Magnum P. I., Dark Justice, Noble House, Rambo : First Blood II, J. A. G., Babylon 5, Star Trek : The Next Generation, Star Trek : Deep Space 9, Kung Fu : The Legend Continues, the Double Dragon movie with born for porn actress Alyssa Milano or


Walker, Texas Ranger ), Mako ( who has been in everything from The Green Hornet to Conan The Barbarian ) and last but not least Richard Moll best known as Bull on Night Court with 1980s real life Power Girl Markie Post


As longtime followers of the blog know this is where I usually go into my whole Markie Post Schpiel but this post is already longer than planned so check out my PLANET OF THE APES post for the usual Markie Post hijinks.


We are staying with my spanish audience and the cool thing when you are working on various posts at the same time is that when you can´t include something in a post you can put it somewhere else. So we are continuing our animal themed animated films with another classic : Watership Down.


I like to end things on a more upbeat note so closing us out we have the man himself, the great late Falco with his 80s hymn Rock Me Amadeus !

You need to put a NSFW (Not Safe For Work) before posts! I'm scrolling down the page and my sister comes into the room when it gets to the adult content!!
A lot of people complain about Frank Robbins but I love his work. Also I have a full set of The Invaders (the 2000s rehashes are just **** awful). This was from a time when you walked into a newsagents and those covers hit you and you HAD to buy. Now the covers tend to be "meh" and that depends which of the 20 cover variants you get. But good, hand drawn using pencil, brush/pen and hand coloured and...today's comics are...not that good. For instance, The Avengers can shock you IF the actual Avengers turn up in it and it isnt being used as a promo for TVs She Hulk or Thor Love and Thunder.
Keep blogging!

You should know by now that none of my posts are really safe for work. There are always some scantily clad babes when you least expect them.
