A few notes on this classic panel from Fantastic Four #169:
1. Oh, 1970’s Marvel comics, your subtlety never fails to break through social barriers.
2. Luke Cage is apparently the go-to guy when your superhero team-up requires just the right amount of urban lingo (as written by ultra-urban insider Roy Thomas) to mildly annoy a powerful dictator.
3. In this storyline, Luke Cage is hired onto the FF as a stand-in for the Thing. He is taught how to fly the Fantasticar. Then he steals it. What a progressive plot device!
4. Luke Cage’s tiara was problematic enough, but wearing an entire chandelier on top of his head? Complete overkill.
5. All current writers over at Marvel should just have every character start referring to Dr. Doom as “Honey” for no explicable reason.
