I pantaloni con cui Marlene Dietrich arrivò a Parigi nel 1930 fecero gridare allo scandalo perché non solo parlavano di una sessualità dominatrice, ma di una donna che attingeva agli stereotipi del potere maschile diventando una vampira di energie invece che una donatrice devota. Il seno turgido che sbocciava dall'abito di Marilyn Monroe mentre cantava al suo amante "Happy Birthday, Mr. President", alludeva a una seduzione di nuovo conio, ribelle alle convenzioni del matrimonio, della ragion di Stato e della donna per bene.

Writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby co-created the all-star group of six superheroes in September 1963. From there, just three main writers chronicled Earth's Mightiest Heroes in that most turbulent of decades: Roy Thomas, Steve Englehart, and Jim Shooter, each with differing approaches.
