I'd like to see Marvel send Steve Ditko about $1 million dollars for his contributions to Spider-Man and then he could do a cover for them.
Tales From The Crypt
Frontline Combat
Weird Science
Weird Fantasy
Vault of Horror
aw hell,every EC title
As you get older, you'll wish that you went with short boxes. That is, unless you enjoy hernias
All my years of buying comics and I never actually purchased an issue of Cracked (or that other Mad imitator Sick).
Mad magazine was enough for me in the 60s, the others seemed second-rate. Marvel's...
The answer is obvious. If Marvel can get their readers to pay $3.99 for 20 pages, then DC will ask for that as well.
DC's sales are plummetting even when most books are $2.99. That price-point will...
I think if Batman is caught again with another adolescent in spandex he should be arrested for child endangerment.
So the next Robin should be older than Bruce Wayne and for diversity's sake be fat...

I'll always remember an early Justice League comic where the villian lit a match and the Martian Manhunter fainted.
Its hard to respect a hero who passes out when you toast some marshmellows. i'm...
Harrison Ford was a virtual unknown to the public before Star Wars. He only managed bit parts in movies and TV beforehand.
I miss Stan's soapbox
I miss the Avengers with just 6 or 7 members
I miss Marvel horror,war,sword & sorcery and humor comics
I miss Hostess Twinkies
A conjugal visit to a female Phantom Zone prisoner. I'd buy that issue.
I much prefer the Action comics run vs the later Adventure comics. And the Action comics era is where you would find the majority of stories featuring Streaky and Comet the Super-Horse. I don't...
Mark Evanier this morning has also reported Dan Adkin's death which occurred last week. R.I.P Dan
I read it and also agree that it paints Marvel's history at times as very dark and disturbing. I also believe that conditions at DC before Jeanette Kahn were worse. Mort Weisinger could be a...
With the recent, unfortunate passing of Joe Kubert and Carmine Infantino, I believe Steve Ditko is now the greatest living comic artist legend. Spider-Man is the most iconic character amongst those...
It also dosn't help your wallet when you purchase something from the most over-priced dealer of back-issue comics
I would credit EC comics as the first for regular artist credits. They even had some biography pages for some of the staff.
Keeping creator's names anonymous was preferable to the publishers to prevent them from gaining popularity. Publishers wanted the readers to only focus on the characters in the book which the...
As a comic reader back in the early/mid 60s, I would rank ACG at #5 amongst the publishers at that time. Marvel and DC of course, as well as Tower Comics and Warren magazines I felt were ahead of the...
Marv Wolfman published a fanzine named Stories of Suspense. In 1965 issue #2 contained "In a Half-World of Terror" by Stephen King-his first published work.
Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring by J. R. R. Tolkien - I think this is the only book I quit reading. 100 pages of describing a forest was not my idea of good times

From 1976-1982 I worked at what was called an after-hours club. Open to members only and their guests, we provided alcohol and gambling all night long. Very upscale and from time to...

Between the years 1976-1982 I was young and making a very good living. Expenses were low so my money was plowed into comic collecting. New York City was awash in...
My favorite songs-at least as how I feel today
1. Chuck Berry-Roll Over Beethoven
2. Elvis Presley-Suspicious Minds
3. The Beatles -I Am The Walrus
4. The Supremes-Someday We'll Be Together ...
