Excalibur #77: “Lowest Common Denominator”

If you’ve ever wondered what Kurt Wagner would look like as a kid, Excalibur #77, “Lowest Common Denominator,” has the answer, which is—either extremely cute or creepily cute depending on who’s penciling and inking which page!

An unexpectedly vigorous debate about Stan Lee’s Bullpen Bulletin obituary of Jack Kirby.
