Mr. Pope Hail

When I saw the robes during the Pope’s mass in Philadelphia this morning,
Hydra’s classic outfits immediately came to mind. The juxtaposition of this panel
from Stan Lee & Jack Kirby’s introduction of SHIELD in Strange Tales #135 with this crop of a photo taken by Jack Gruber for USA Today is just eerie. Like yesterday, I’m only pointing out what’s already there.

TV’s Batgirl, Yvonne Craig, left us last month at 78.
