It flips the script on the miser stereotype, but on that note, they had to make Bette Jewish? The shiksa bitch? Oy vey! Maybe Kanigher said "shrewish" and Orlando misheard. That was more of a Schwartz trope than a Kanigher one.<br /><br />One thing I forgot to mention in my last comment was the book was courageous for featuring a 'Nam vet in 1976. That was not a popular thing at the time, and pop culture grappling with that scene didn't really kick in until <i>The Deer Hunter</i> in 1978. The Punisher may have appeared a couple of years earlier, but he was also a psychotic villain at the time.Diabolu Frankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685199809207954223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89267913288882115.post-2270390057627376622013-03-12T09:38:32.423-07:002013-03-12T09:38:32.423-07:00Haha.

I had heard of Ragman before but never read any of the comics until then. Ragman looked very distinctive then and still does to this day.rob!https://www.blogger.com/profile/17556471244882205031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-89267913288882115.post-34535155241171580722013-03-10T20:21:04.059-07:002013-03-10T20:21:04.059-07:00Great article, Chad.
