Having won the Commander's recent quiz, I thought I should do the next one. The following questions all relate to pre-Crisis DC/National or All-American comics. The rules are as follows:
-You don’t have to answer all the questions at once.
-You ca

1) A new, vital and innovative reimagining of Superman that really is new, vital and innovative.
2) A well-thought out Tarzan book that keeps him in the early 20th century with a good dose of fantasy.
3) A

This story is set in 1950. While the middle school concept had been created by then ( the very first middle school in the United States was designated that very year), it would be many years before it caught on thro

I didn’t post this to the “Captain America” thread because I’m not convinced this is a Captain America series, per se; in fact I’m not quite sure what this is, but yesterday was light so I thought I’d give it a try. It’s written by Ben McCool and dra

I'm thinking of reading a few Adam Strange comics from over the years, but I'd like to know what was the best representative story in which he appeared in the 70s?
