Wow the creative talent in that room! He's responsible for so many classic covers!

Never really made a connection between MJ & Margaret? Maybe the curves?

He probably meant the red hair. Jim Mooney drew his girls the same too. When he drew Pussycat, he made the female star of the, er, strip in the image of Gwen Stacy. And I'm sure teenage boys of the era noticed the resemblance.

Ann Margaret was so hot. Heck, she is pretty hot for an old lady now. (She's still alive, right?)

I love how in the video Romita will say like 'When I created this character' and Stan will say 'Our character'.....

Ann Margaret was so hot that they should have renamed Bye, Bye Birdie.

I could have bought it in 2006. Was offered to me for 50k by Burkey. Didn’t have the scratch sadly. Currently it resides here:

That's what I said when I heard about her husband passing, I need to go console the grieving widow.
