"Irregardless of the silly main theme song and the extremely limited animation, the Marvel Super Heroes cartoons played a major roll in my switch from being primarily a DC reader to being more of a Marvel guy.  The cartoons being direct…"

"Just reminded by a post on Walt Simonson's Facebook page that Wein wrote one of my all time favorite Batman stories - a brief two pager - Once Upon A Time... that appeared in Detective #500. If someone was totally unfamiliar with Batman, that…"
