Many soldiers came back from the trenches of WWI missing bits of their face. But 1920s society wasn’t the nicest place to look like a gnarled piece of meat, and facial surgery was barely beyond grafting your finger to your nose.

The answer: masks! Sculptors such as Anna Coleman Ladd and Francis Derwent Wood would make new bits of face from copper for these gentlemen, either from life-casts or from photographs. 

The masks were either held in place by string or attached to glasses, and were painted to match the wearer’s skin colour. Things like facial hair and artificial eyes were also added where needed.

This has nothing to do with comics but it made me think of Richard Harrow from Broadwalk Empire and I thought gracklegrackle would appreciate it.

Chamber vs. Wolverine.

[from Weapon X (2005) #1]

I cant see that guy as Chamber. He looks nothing like him…big problem I had with the art in this series…

Yeeeah. Doesn’t read as Jono at all. Of course, you don’t usually see Mr. Starsmore with a face but, still.  He just looks like some generic guy. Also- he’s wearing blue jeans. If it’s not swathed from head to toe in black leather, it isn’t Jono.  I guess at least they remembered the jacket?

I think he wore blue jeans in Gen x once, the Christmas special/issue. It was odd, but he looked…ok.

I guess I don’t mind blue jeans if they’re pegged a la the last issue of Nightcrawler. But they generally don’t read very Jono to me.

Another issue I have with this not-Jono-Jono is the lame hair and the itty bitty nose. At least they remembered his brown eyes.

And since this little walk down memory lane got me thinking about our dear Mr. Starsmore with a face, I had to draw it.

They could probably find some good beer at Trader Joes or at a specialty shop in NYC, like a Euromart or something. They could also get it online if all else failed. Also this drawing is awesome!

I just like the idea of these two going on a beer run in the Blackbird. It’s just so ridiculous!
I’m sure Kurt has charmed some local liquor merchant and they stock all his favorites. I mean, who could say no to that adorable mug?
