It’s another example of the woman having to suffer to further the male hero’s arc, and it came during a week when Gerry Duggan was writing a lot of women — Laura, Emma Frost, Riri Williams, Jean Grey — as props for their…

Nov. 11 was the birthday of Dave Cockrum. In his honor, it’s also the unofficial birthday of Nightcrawler, the demon turned fuzzy elf Cockrum first dreamed up during a storm in Guam before bringing him to the X-Men, where he lavished love upon the swashbuckling version of the character.
