Sounds like your step-mother and mine were a lot alike Wallace, mine burned a bunch of my comic books because she said at 14 I was too old for them and that comic books would "warp my brain". I hear these stories all the time from fellow comic readers. My parents never threw my comics away. They just took my comics and would not allow me to buy new ones when I made bad grades. Mom knew missing a issue of Spider-Man was torture to me. My grades always went back up.

This was my introduction to the Doom Patrol. Some of my favorite JB on JB inks ever, as well. _______________________________ That's also my first Doom Patrol issue. And I loved it. I remember I bought only because I saw Byrne's name on it.

JB: "And Namor was a mutant long before Captain Comet came along." Ah, yes, but was he identified as such at the time? I don't think so; my memory isn't the greatest, but it tells me that word wasn't in popular usage at the time. The good captain was, I believe, labeled a mutant from his very first appearance onward.

Why? Do you think she's wearing lace panties under there? Or nothing? C'mon.Female figure skaters -- the basis for early superheroine costumes --wear short skirts, and the audience does not titter and nudge whenevera leap or a spin lifts the hemline enough to show what's under them.
Nope, doesn't really matter what's under them, it just makes everyone underneath her to look up her skirt especially her teammates, something I'm assuming they wouldn't purposely do otherwise, nor she or figure skaters (I'm assuming) want people to do. And since this thread is discussing the similarity to the X-men and FF, as we see with Marvel Girl and Invisible Girl there were other options available.

JBs run was also my first intro to DP. I'll have to read those again soon (currently on issue 278 of his FF run).

If you seriously have to ask if a super-heroine in a mini-skirt either has a camel toe or has gone commando, it's probably time to ask yourself THE question about whether you've outgrown the hobby -- and I suspect you already KNOW the answer...

Neither did mine. However, the wicked step-mother did... along with all of my fantasy and sci-fi novels and artwork. I was in my second semester of undergrad at the time.
