DESPOP TUESDAYS! An insightful interview straight from 1964! Hey, welcome to DESPOP TUESDAYS, featuring the stellar art of British illustrator Des Taylor! That’s column spokeswoman Alice Gilmore above. She’s a reporter who’s gone undercover for Savoir magazine at the Cat’s Kitten Club. (Alice also is the masked crimefighter the Blue Lotus and she stars in Des’ next book The Blue Lotus Strikes.) Savoir has its collective finger on the pulse of midcentury superherodom and so far we’ve run an interview with Superman (by Lois Lane) and an eyewitness account of a ’60s Iron Man/Namor brawl. This week? Sue Storm is the cover story of the latest edition of the Magazine for Sophisticats and she gives you a transparent look at what it’s like being the only female member of the Fantastic Four — right out of 1964. Dig it: By JIMI DAVIS Susan Storm, the light-bending vixen of the Fantastic Four, hasn’t been hiding in the shadows. And despite the fact that she can turn completely INVISIBLE, she is more striking than ever! That’s right, the once “Invisible Girl,” now Invisible “Woman,” is baring it all for this magazine and for all of you. Metaphorically speaking, anyway: She’s giving us a glimpse into what it’s like to not only be a member of superherodom’s First Family, but how she manages to stay so glamorous while she does it! Susan, daughter of Dr. Franklin and Mary Storm, along with her younger brother Johnny, joined aerospace engineer Reed Richards and his best friend, pilot Benjamin Grimm, on that fateful test flight to beat the Russians to space just a few years ago. While the unscheduled launch was a success, unfortunately the unknowns of space flight reared its ugly head and the quartet were bathed in cosmic rays that gave them all their “Fantastic” powers. We caught up with Susan recently at a charity event hosted at Cat’s Kitten Club in New York City on the arm of beau Reed Richards, the leader of the Fantastic Four, and were able to get some time with her away from the crowd. It was well spent as Susan had no problem with answering many of the burning questions our subscribers want to know the answers to. Savoir: Well, I hope you don’t mind my saying, but you look absolutely stunning this evening. SS: Why thank you! It’s nice...
