Knowledge Waits is a feature where I just share some bit of comic book history that interests me. Today, I discuss how Marvel included Barbie “credit cards” in the first issues of Marvel’s line of Barbie comics in the early 1990s. One of the great challenges in the world of dolls is the concept of verisimilitude. In general, kids love it when their dolls mimic real life, but there is always a question of how much “reality” is TOO much reality. In the recent blockbuster Barbie film, the movie pokes fun at some of Mattel’s past attempts at mimicking real life that likely went TOO far, like the Skipper doll meant to mimic puberty by showing her breasts getting larger, or the toy dog that actually poops out little round feces balls.RELATED: When it Comes to Stan Lee’s Legacy, One of His Greatest Enemies Was…Stan LeeRELATED: John Romita Designed the Look of a Whole Generation of Marvel Characters
