Dudley did right

Dudley Sutton (6th April 1933 – 15th September 2018) R.I.P.

Remembering British actor Dudley Sutton who died yesterday, at the age of 85. His recent career was mostly in television, but here he is in the 1963 British Film “The Leather Boys”, where he played gay biker Pete, who has fallen for straight biker Reg (Colin Campbell). The last picture shows rehearsals of Joe Orton’s hit comedy “Entertaining Mr. Sloane” in 1964, where he played the very first Sloane, to Madge Ryan as Kath. Also pictured is Joe Orton himself.

Information from onlyhuman34 …the other actor in that film, Colin Campbell passed away, last March 2018. (I wondered what happened to him, thanks for the information – R.I.P to both of them)

What If #27

Oh, This Comic: What If… #27 (cover by Frank Miller).

I was still behind on Uncanny X-Men, scrambling to fill in the gaps via back issue bins. I knew Phoenix had died in #137 but, though I’d read all the way past John Byrne’s run and into Dave Cockrum’s return, I still hadn’t found a copy of that issue & thus didn’t know the exact circumstances of her end. 

Knowing I had X-Men fever, the manager of my comic shop suggested this issue — written by Jo Duffy, drawn by Jerry Bingham — as a temporary fix. I. Was. TRAUMATIZED. Pub date was 1981, so I probably read it in ‘82 or ‘83… and I’ve never opened it since.
