There I was, reading The New Defenders (yes, I have no shame), listening
to Cloud agonize about how sick it was to be gay.  Then it occurred to me
-- The Comics Code permits (gasp) homosexual thoughts?  Heavens Forfend!
When I checked the cover, sure enough, there was no Code symbol.  Same
goes for my current Alpha Flight, X-men, and Fantastic Four.  (In which
case, why didn't more of Aurora peek out of her towel??)
 
To quote a Golden Oldie,
"How long has zis been going on?"
Has Marvel given up on the Comics Code?  If so, rah for them.
 
Yours in puzzlement,
Betsy Perry
 
P.S.  After Alpha Flight #14, my vote for 'comical female I would
most like to resemble(physically)' is sewed up for Aurora.
