I was reading Action Comics #398 (March 1971) this morning, in which Clark Kent covers the Seaside Folk-Rock Festival and I thought it might be fun to cite some lyrics from rock songs as written by the "hep" writers of '60s and '70s era comic book wr

I have been bellyachin' about DC not releasing '70s era Superman for so long now that if I didn't buy this volume on the day it was released I could be classified a hypocrite. In point of fact, DC did release some of this material (Supe
The Stern/Buscema Avengers stands among John Byrne's Fantastic Four, Walt Simonson's Thor and Frank Miller's Daredevil as the best Marvel comics of the '80s. Roger Stern had been writing The Avengers since #227, but I had no advance notice that John

I found out just yesterday (along with the rest of you) that Peter David died. When prominent comic book creators pass away, I like to pay tribute to them by reading their works. Not that I'm looking to make a "discusussion" of this, but "Supergirl"
