Appendix: Marvel New Universe Imprint:

To celebrate Marvel's 25th anniversary, then Editor-in-Chief Jim Shooter had hoped to create a new seperate comic universe, with a more realistic world, less fantastic heroes, with a month time passing between each issue, and utilizing top tallent. However, money and internal politics hampered it before it even started and it quickly became an in- house project and half of the first titles cancelled within the first year. The whole line finally folded within three years.

I know I’m late to the party, but I couldn’t not draw Icepick Joe.

[rytron]

Little known fact: Icy Joe, one of the new fraggles to debut on Apple TV's new Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock series (currently in production on its second season), was inspired by the character Joseph 'Ice Pick Joe" Morelli (played by the late John Cazale) in Martin Scorcese's little-seen but much-celebrated lost 1973 mafia film 'GONCHAROV'.

"But, Icy Joe in Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock is a woman" you say?

True! But that doesn't mean inspiration wasn't drawn from Cazale's portrayal of Ice Pick Joe. While neither Scorcese nor Cazale have ever confirmed any suspicions, many have noted Cazale's raw and visceral performance in the supporting role of Morelli played with and flipped many then-assumed gender stereotypes (the same of which can easily be said of Cybill Shepherd's performance as Katya in the film). Consider that the film itself quite cleanly functions as a deconstruction of the testosterone-fueled hetero-normativity of the mafia genre (including many of Scorcese's other films) it's not hard to draw a fairly straight line from Cazale's 'Ice Pick Joe' to Karen Prell's performance of 'Icy Joe' (notably, a character with a stereotypically masculine name) in a show where the inhabitants of Fraggle Rock don't always fit into clean gender binaries.
