- This edited version of our comment policy is effective as of May 10, 2006.By publishing a comment to this blog you are granting its proprietors, John Holbo and Belle Waring, the right to republish that comment in any way shape or form they see fit.
Severable from the above, and to the extent permitted by law, you hereby agree to the following as well: by leaving a comment you grant to the proprietors the right to release ALL your comments to this blog under this Creative Commons license (attribution 2.5). This license allows copying, derivative works, and commercial use.
Severable from the above, and to the extent permitted by law, you are also granting to this blog's proprietors the right to so release any and all comments you may make to any OTHER blog at any time. This is retroactive. By publishing ANY comment to this blog, you thereby grant to the proprietors of this blog the right to release any of your comments (made to any blog, at any time, past, present or future) under the terms of the above CC license.

If you do NOT agree to these terms, for pete's sake do NOT leave a comment. It's that simple.
- Confused by our comment policy?We're testing a strong CC license as a form of troll repellant. Does that sound strange? Read this thread. (I know, it's long. Keep scrolling. Further. Further. Ah, there.) So basically, we figure trolls will recognize that selling coffee cups and t-shirts is the best revenge, and will keep away. If we're wrong about that, at least someone can still sell the cups and shirts. (Sigh.)
Wow. The Black Racer was not one of Jack Kirby's finest moments -- he was no Silver Surfer, for sure.

He's sort of an Roman Centurion who does Xtreme sports, isn't he?

The Black Racer is the spirit of Christmas Yet to Come! Hence, the skis.

He seems to be a ventriloquist, as well.

Hm. Kirby, in the early 1970s, anthropomorphized Death as an implacable black man on skis. Gaiman, in the early 1990s, anthropomorphized Death as a winsome Goth girl, with no skis.
Discuss.

What the hell? I left a long, link-ridden, comment on this the other day.
Posted by: Gary Farber | January 01, 2006 at 08:54 PM
I wrote about his looking like every other Kirby character, I expressed puzzlement over Wolfson's comment, I dragged in panelogy and Scott McCloud and Understanding Comics, and a bunch of other stuff I no longer recall.
Well, of course I don't recall. It was last year.
