Hmm - Archie's Madhouse, which later changed its name several times, began in Sept. 1959, before the Fantastic Four appeared in 1961.jimc wrote:especially if it is the delectable Jessica Alba (sue storm richards), but your comment made me remember this old comic book called MadHouse Comics a precursor or another line of Archie comics and there was this hero called Ronald the rubber boy who had powers to stretch because he had swallowed lots of bubble gum.

One imagines that there were quite a few dirty jokes told about these characters around the editorial offices of the comic book companies - for some reason, The Elongated Man seems to me a particularly likely candidate. In fact, I seem to remember that many years ago there was to be some kind of public-service campaign - it might have been an anti-VD thing - involving a DC super-hero. I think E-Man was originally tapped for the role when someone pointed out that he was probably not the best spokesman for a campaign involving sexual acts. I think The Atom may have finally gotten the nod. Honestly, I'm not making any of this up, but I hope I'm not misremembering it too badly.
