"Superman's Flight from Lois Lane!" by Jerry Siegel and Kurt Schaffenberger - This is an odd one. DC had pretty strict rules concerning time travel back in the Silver Age. I don't know for certain when they…"
"Since posting about SNL back in February, I have not yet made good on my intention to watch the 38 years I missed on Peacock, but I have been watching all of the new shows (plus the repeats that run between 9-10PM). Between 1975 and 1987, three…"

Next on my list of "Bible comics" (and last for a while) is Classic Bible Stories from Titan Comics. "Jesus: The road of Courage" is by Marcus Morris and Frank Hampson (the latter of whom is better known for Dan Dare, 13…"

Looking at Wikipedia, I discovered that both of these strips were syndicated by either King Features or the Register and Tribune Syndicate, which was late acquired by King Features. Marvel would…"
I'll start.The Complete Steve Ditko's Mr. A - I have some of this stuff but not all, and not in a consistent format on high-quality paper. (I wouldn't mind seeing a nice collection of Static, either.)Jack Kirby's 2001: A Space Odyssey - Start with…

"We have a houseguest this weekend. She suggested that we watch a science fiction movie last night and asked if we had any. Tracy just looked at me and grinned, and I said, "We have every science fiction movie. Which one would you like to see?" She…"
Jeff, I want to thank you and Tracy for the well-wishes you have given me, just to let you know how touching and thoughtful I think it was. I'm happy to tell you that I'm doing much better and I feel about 99% back to normal. Of course, it's easy to recuperate when all I have to think about is getting better while Adam takes every other burden upon himself. Here on Earth-B he has the reputation of being rather a cranky old cuss, but I know he's as sweet as a puppy! Tell him I said that and I'll blame it on the stroke.
Thank you again, Jeff, for thinking of me and do, please, pass my thanks and best wishes on to Tracy.
Happy new year!
Cheryl
