One of the absolute best series of the last 25 years. And at 129 issues I think you can call it classic at this point. The peak is the Homelands arc with Boy Blue.

The series main achievement, I...

Let me take a moment to say that Dynamites new Tarzan series, "Lord of the Jungle", is quite good. Worth picking up for sure. I saw that it was in absolute last place on the sales chart last month so...

Well Scott Harris might have a point. I read Daredevil 55 from 1969.

The good points: Gene Colan is at or near the peak of his powers here. I got a real sense of DDs "Gymnastics in the Shadows"...

They had the Spring Sale at my local LCS and though you can never get all you want I did $225 worth of damage. All the following are in 9.0 - 9.4.

Captain America 123 and 144

Daredevil - 55,...

He had a very clean Wally Wood style.

I remember getting a hand-me-down Strange Tales when I was a kid and finding his work no less cooler than Steranko's. (And I think Steranko is a genius...

I saw a post on FB from the Wally Wood page saying that Dan Adkins has passed away.

If that is indeed the case what a...

I went to a flea market/farmers market this weekend and ran into a guy I know from my LCS that had about 10 long boxes out in addition to some toys.

I got the following for $.25 each

Fantastic...

Now that my parents are retiring the closets are getting emptied and I'm starting to get stuff in the mail...

I received a long box yesterday and within its contents, amongst many mid 80s Captain...

I read King Size Special 6 last night Shaxper to kind of get the gist of where you are at with this series... It reprinted 18 and 19 and has pretty amusing 10 page framing sequence with art from the...

The Thomas issues are painful. Really, it's only when John Severin comes aboard does the series get to the B+/A- level consistently. Gary Freidrich develops the characters and story-arcs a little...

That's some good stuff right there MRP. The Raiders book is an interesting find. Are there Steranko illustrations from his character concepts?

I'm a big Secret Origins fan, I have about 80% of...

I read Conan the King 20-28 yesterday for the second time this year and I can't recommend enough. Surely, this was the best Conan stuff to come out in the 80s? Geoff Isherwood's inks really gave the...

Awesome haul... Good Job on the Showcase... The Enemy Ace volume looks especially appealing... Claremont and Golden must be making the rounds. They are coming here to Houston in May though my picks...

I only need one issue of Marvel Fanfare to complete that run (55). The highlight there is the Starlin Thing story though his pencils are manhandled by Al Milgrom's inks. (Wasn't there a discussion...

Sadly no... I should have qualified a little better... My earliest issue is 20 and I have probably 50 issues up to 99 but they were purchased, at That's Entertainment no less!, years ago and are...

I went a little nuts at my LCS's 50% off sale... My birthday and tax return prompted to spend a clean $300 and you know what? I'm feeling pretty good about it right now! All the following were graded...

I always thought Milgrom's only talent was for covers. He did quite a few good ones (ROM and Spectacular Spider Man come to mind.)

His inks on Starlin and Gulacy ruined some issues of Warlock and...

It made my Classic Comics Christmas list indeed though your post above is more eloquent than mine. I also believe the Rude-Kesel art team was on Cei-U's CCC 2 years back for favorite penciller and...

I read Marvel Two In One Annual 4 last night. The Thing teams up with Black Blot to stop Gravitron. I don't know how this ended up as an annual. While the story did take some 30 pages to resolve...

Double Post Double Post

The Weirdworld issues of Marvel Fanfare were pretty terrible. As a pretty big fan of sword and sorcery I never dug this or Elfquest. I guess I don't dig little Elves?

There is also a silliness to...

(Gasp) The Legion might have DCs most illustrious history after Batman. Even before Shooter there is a nice sense of whimsy to E. Nelson's stories and nice Curt Swan art. In the 70s you have nascent...

Master of Kung Fu is the obvious choice for me... but I have no doubt that it would be made as CGI-fueled action flick with Matrix style Kung Fu moves instead of the ennui and John LaCarre elements...

I did incredibly well in the dollar bin this year including one sale where I thought the LCS must need to make a rent payment because I got all the Byrne FF's , Avengers 202-237 and 50+ Marvel Team...

The Zelenetz Kull series just missed my list. I never even thought about the original Kull series as it seemed like it didn't qualify in my mind.

The 8 pages from Sienkiewicz in #4 might be the...
