this is Yea Forums but I just discovered this and I think it's interesting.

Taro is a 16 year old in Dr.Slump who smokes. The American comic book allowed him to have a cigarette but they edited him exhaling the smoke. Meanwhile the anime got rid of Taro's smoking habit completely. Eventually Toriyama phased out the concept of Taro smoking even in the original manga. Later he would draw Bulma in the beginning of Dragon Ball puffing on a cigarette on one of the title pages. When the manga was rereleased years later they redrew the picture and removed her cigarette. However in the original picture Toriyama took care to label the carton of "smokes" "candy". I'm surprised that even in the 80s the Japanese were such sticklers about underage smoking when they were pretty lenient on a lot of other shit.

During the 50s, Marvel did an entire bunch of horror stories in their anthology titles featuring societies of vampires and werewolves living in tribes and warring with each other. Often the vampires were depicted with distinct skull-faces and giant bat wings, others were more human-looking for stories that were comedic. Some lived in graves, others in caves. While there was no distinct continuity, the same peculiar recurring original elements popped up a lot. I can't believe no one's ever done anything with this.

They also did a whole bunch of horror stories (some crime too) hosted by spectral watcher-like beings wearing hooded purple robes.

ACG, the publishers of Adventures into the Unknown (the first successful horror comic) and Herbie Popnecker had a recurring unified depiction of Hell/The Netherworld that appeared in literally all of their comics, regardless of genre. This Hell was populated not just by demons, but by witches, sheet ghosts, Frankenstein's Monster and generic ogres. This depiction showed up in their horror stories (both before and after the code), their humor comics, their superhero comics and even their war and romance comics. Along with Herbie's crossovers with heroes Nemesis and Magicman, it's a good case for ACG having a shared universe.

Context?

Post it my dude

Blue Beetle(ted kord) Is a successor character to spider-man by the same creator.
an adult Randian Spiderman who used his intelligence to create a company rather than only do superheroics thus making Jaime Reyes an equivalent character to Miles Morales Along with nite owl

Looking further with this character relationship we see that Blue and Golds dynamic mirrors spider-man and the human torch

all this goes to show that dc has evolved the concept of spider-man a lot more than marvel

the green arrow was briefly named the red arrow in swedish comics as a result of black-white comics and the publisher not wanting anyone to mistake him for the green lantern

Pete Bagge did a Spider-Man one-shot where Peter embraces Randian values and grows up to become an overweight, bespectacled geek who still somehow gets laid. A lot like Nite Owl, who was supposed to be a Ted Kord expy. Interesting how these things seem to go full circle.

Another Howard thing: there's an official video game sequel to the movie called "Howard the Duck: Adventure on Volcano Island" and apparently it's pretty good.
