Love Everlasting Volume 1; and Ice Cream Man Volume 11- Horror, Horror. Ice Cream Man is great as always, but Love Everlasting was a surprise, despite the all-star creative team (Tom King, writer; Elsa Charretier, artist; Matt Hollingsworth, colorist; Clayton Cowles, letterer). I was not…

Ultraman (Back to the Beginning)
I was a big fan of Ultraman when I was a kid. In the early ‘90s I discovered there was a new “Ultraman” show, but unfortunately I was more interested in acquiring episodes of the old show on VHS than I was episodes of the new one. Somewhat later I…

The World War II Career of Captain America
Inspired by Captain America #32 (2000), I wrote a letter to the Comics Buyer's Guide which was printed in #1362. In it, I traced Captain America's involvement in World War II solely through what was revealed in the comics themselves. What follows is…

Superman & Spider-man - Marvel/DC TEs
I never buy comics out of a sense of nostalgia, but Superman vs. Spider-man is the exception that disproves the rule. Of this recent spate of '70s TE reprints, I buy only the ones I never had or those I somehow lost track of over the years. Yet I…

Fastball Special
I don't suppose anyone has a list of pitchers and balls for the fastball special? By pitchers I mean the likes of Colossus and She-Hulk. By balls, I mean whoever was being thrown.
