"Political Satire in Pogo: I have only just started reading The Complete Syndicated Comic Strips v3 and already the topical political satire has begun. First, on January 21, the Seminole Sam is dissuaded from his plot to move Niagaga Falls to the…"
"FLASH GORDON DAILIES: AUSTIN BRIGGS - "RADIUM MINES of ELECTRA" (1940-1942):
Now that I've finished off Flash Gordon color Sundays by Alex Raymond, I've moved on to Flash Gordon b&w dailies by Austin Briggs.
TARZAN, Vol. 1 (1931-1932):
After re-reading the Maximum Security crossover last week, I went on to finish the rest of the Avengers Assemble Vol. 4 collection. It is an intersting and worthwhile mix of stories and art, all (or at least mostly)…"
"FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE - THE COMPLETE LIBRARY, Vol. 7 (2000-2003):
I read FBoFW on a daily basis from the very beginning (1979) through 1982, then again from 1986-2001 (and sporadically in between). I have now entered a phase in which I followed…"
It used to be that there were certain comics, or runs of comics, that I would re-read every year or so. But the more comics I came to own, the fewer I had time to re-read. Today I moved on to Avengers Assemble! Vol. 4 which begins…"
"AVENGERS (1998): Some time ago (last year, I think), I began reading the Busiek/Perez series from the beginning but I drifted away with #32. Today I picked it up again with #33.
THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD (2007): this is my third (possibly fourth) time…"
"I just realized I forgot to do a NEW COMICS I HAVE READ TODAY THIS MONTH for the month of April.
Screw it. I'm not going back and try to separate the ones I bought in april from the ones I bought in May.

"SUPERMAN in WORLD'S FINEST ARCHIVES v2 - "Superman from the Beginning" (Part 14):
Well, that didn't take very long. (That's what happens when you read only three out of 17 stories.) This volume comprises issues #16-32 (Winrer 1945 through Jan/Feb…"
"SUPERMAN ARCHIVES v8 - "Superman from the Beginning" (Part 13):
This volume comprises issues #30-35 (Sep/Oct 1944 through Jul/Aug 1945), but I will be covering only through #33.
The "Lois Lane, Girl Reporter" back-up series continues in #30-35. One…"
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'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.
