NO. 1: MARVEL COMICS
1776 #1 (OF 5), $4.99: I found Neil Gaiman's 1602 perversely compelling, in that it seemed to have no reason to exist and did strange things with modern characters. I found Jack Kirby's Captain America Bicentenn

Emerkeith, real name Walter Loyd Lilly, joined us long ago, too long ago ago for me to find his first post. But he stopped posting in late 2020, and many of us feared the worst. That worst was realized when Le
