[QUOTE=MajorHoy;4289198]What's with that linked male/female symbol towards the top right, next to "[FONT=Comic Sans MS]In Love[/FONT]"?
Was she transgender or something, or was the publisher afraid people would think she was a lesbian? :confused:[/QUOTE]
Back in the 1960s and 1970s I'm pretty sure that symbol would have stood for a straight couple. Its just the male and female symbols linked together. As far as I am aware, there weren't standard accepted symbols for other gender types at the time. If you wanted change it to represent a gay couple at that time, it would have been two male symbols linked together or two female symbols linked together.
But like Foxley said, it might have been put on there to capture some common symbolism of the day to associate the comic with the Ben Casey show (simplest explanation being the best, at times)

[QUOTE=CaptCleghorn;4289319]I blame myself. Victor Von Doom is NOT a medical doctor and so would not qualify so I feel as if I have made this week a bit more difficult for Iron Maiden.[/QUOTE]
No, you're fine. I figured it would be easy to use Doctor Strange or Doc Samson who do have medical degrees. Doom has done some medical procedures before, like re-attaching Attuma's head after Namor cut it off, delivering Sue's 2nd child Valeria or doing brain surgery on the Hulk with a chainsaw. But he only has his father's role as the healer of the tribe to fall back on for any credentials in practicing medicine.

[QUOTE=Iron Maiden;4289299]sorry about that. The worse thing is when someone uses a cover that you have used before and then wins with it! (Fantastic Four #258 ) I get very territorial sometimes with Doom covers :D[/QUOTE]
Ouch! Sorry!

I'm pretty sure both the golden age and the modern versions were actual doctors. I'm not sure about the middle one.

I'm pretty sure all three had medical degrees. The owls I'm not sure of, but I shall grant thee special dispensation because I've never done that and i always wanted to.

No, you're fine. You gotta be fast here to get the good covers entered.
