This is the best volume yet. Even Jungle Jim has stepped up to Flash Gordon levels. I had previously decided that I would likely never read Jungle Jim again, but now I've modified that decision not to…"
"SECRET ORIGINS #50 - "Unfinished Business" by Alan Brennert and Joe Staton: After reading Black Canary: Best of the Best yesterday, I followed it up with this story, structured around similar themes, but set on a different Earth."
"Another comic I've been rereading is Rebels, a set of two limited series from Dark Horse set in the Revolutionary War by Brian Wood and (largely) Andrea Mutti, with colors by Jordie Bellaire. (No idea what has me in the mood for stories of…"
"I just read the first of my following up with Montoya/The Question books: 52 Aftermath: Crime Bible: Five Lessons of Blood. And on the whole, I wasn't very impressed. (When I read it as it was being published, I thought it might read better all in…"
"In Superman: The Golden Age Volume One, NYWFC #1 is indeed listed between Action Comics #12-13.
In Volume Two, NYWFC #2 is listed between Action #25-26 and after Superman #5."
"Where do you suppose the two Superman stories from New York World's Fair Comics #1-2 would fall in the order of these early stories?
Good question. According to R.C. Harvey (in his introduction to Batman: The World's Finest Comics v1), New York…"
"Where do you suppose the two Superman stories from New York World's Fair Comics #1-2 would fall in the order of these early stories? I just re-read the first, which was released in April 1939, which would had a cover date (if it had had a cover…"
"ACTION COMICS ARCHIVES v5 - "Superman from the Beginning" (Part 12):
This volume comprises issues #69-85, cover-dated February 1944 through June 1945.
In #69, his inabilty to see through lead is established, apparently for the first time (at least…"
The WWI flying ace appears only a relative handful of times in this volume in cmparison to the last. I think the reason I focus on him is largely due to the influence of the Royal Guardsmen (not to mention the…"
I just finished volume two in IDW's "Champagne Edition" format (June 7, 1936 through March 5, 1939) and I must admit, reading both "Jungle Jim" and "Flash Gordon" really breaks up the flow of both stories. This is…"
"Tragg and the Sky Gods, which I posted in Cover a Day, was another one of Glut's series.
I found that just after I posted. (I always work the main page from top to bottom until I get to my last previous post.) the way you began your post above…"
"Great story! Tragg and the Sky Gods, which I posted in Cover a Day, was another one of Glut's series. He tied them all together and incorporated some of Gold Key's superheroes, like the Man of the Atom and The Owl. He tried very hard to create some…"
"That Dagar series (as well as The OF of DS) was written by Don Glut and collected by Dark Horse back in the 2K-teens, which is when I read it. According to his introductions, Glut had an editor who steadfastly refused to entertain the possibilty…"
I'm working my way through those Zoids strips myself. I thought I'd read the whole run as the Morrison stuff is right at the end and I wanted all the context.
They're good fun. I think I'm scratching the itch I had as a kid when I couldn't afford those big lumps of colourful plastic that looked so cool in the ads.
Actually I'm downloading them as I just know I'm going to visit that site some day and see that they've been taken down...
If you happen to find out the creative credits for the different episodes and their publishing dates I'd be grateful for the info. I couldn't find them anywhere.
