Vagando por el ciberespacio y visitando el blog de Óscar González Loyo, hallé estas imágenes chidísimas que en lo personal nunca había visto (aunque supongo deben ser conocidas) y que fueron a su vez tomadas del blog del hijo de Jack Kirby. Son unas fotos del encuentro entre El Rey y Paul McCartney, en sus años con The Wings. Como beatlemaniaco y comiquero, daría a mi primogénito por presenciar el encuentro de esos dos gigantes. Kirby le regaló a Paul un dibujo de la banda, quienes se encuentran a merced de Magneto, como agradecimiento a la mención que de este personaje se hace en la canción Magneto and Titanium Man, del álbum Venus and Mars (1975). Al final del post pueden encontrar la letra, que también menciona a Crimson Dynamo.
MAGNETO AND TITANIUM MAN
Well I was talking last night
Magneto and Titanium Man …
We were talking about you, babe,
Oo they said
You were involved in a robbery
That was due to happen
At a quarter to three
In the main street.
I didn’t believe them
Magneto and Titanium Man …
But when the Crimson Dynamo
Finally assured me, well, I knew
You were involved in a robbery
That was due to happen
At a quarter to three
In the main street.
So we went out
Magneto and Titanium Man …
And the Crimson Dynamo
Came along for the ride
We went to town with the library
And we swung all over that
Long tall bank in the main street
Well there she were and to my despair
She’s a five-star criminal
Breaking the code
Magneto said «now the time come
To gather our forces and run!!!»
Oh no …
This can’t be so …
And then it occurred to me!
You couldn’t be bad
Magneto was mad!
Titanium too!
And the Crimson Dynamo
Just couldn’t cut it no more
You were the law …
