"I've been reading Nick Cardy Aquamans. His murky underwater scenes benefit from the B&W too."
"Anderson was drawing Ka-Zar the Savage, and Uncanny X-Men and Ka-Zar the Savage were both being edited by Louise Jones. I guess that's how he came to draw the first post-Byrne issue."
"Mike's Amazing World tells me Marvel Fanfare #3 came out the same month as Uncanny X-Men #159. Cockrum's recollection implies the story was drawn around the time #143-#145 were in preparation, #143 being the last Byrne issue…"
"That was about the time it began to be done commonly. I suppose it can give a reader a reason to take a new look at a title he's stopped following, or look at a title he doesn't know. Also, if it's a bagged back issue it tells you…"
"Was there an explanation of how Arcade knew about the Mansion? A lot of X-foes knew about it - Magneto, the Hellfire Club, Arcade. Magneto has known since #17-#18, and retcons established he'd always known about Xavier. Did the Hellfire Club…"
"This post on a comics blog has some more."
"Also Kamandi #44, and the internet reminds me of Captain America #106. Is it a sports expression?"
"Thanks, Rob."
"You might be interested in this thread from John Byrne's forum, which has an image of a page of notes John Byrne made on their plans and a response from him. They were certainly planning ahead."
"The sequences involving the interpretation of the tape in The Conversation were modelled after similar scenes involving photographs in a Michelangelo Antonini film, Blowup (1966). When I saw the film as a young adult I found them hypnotic, but the…"
"That might be an implausibly high circulation. On the other hand, the estimate would take into account the theory that many newspapers pass through several hands.
I assume the Daily Globe ran the story anyway."
".The Adam Strange reprints would continue through the title's end at 244, although there's at least one original story along the way (issue 222, already available).
Also an illustrated prose story in #226."
"That's one I know nothing about.
I read two issues of Jemm, Son of Saturn. I thought they were terrific. For years I believed Greg Potter was Alan Moore, until the internet disabused me of the notion."
"Jurgens wrote the final issues himself. My recollection is Conway had overcommitted himself and had to cut back.
I only ever read the first issue. I thought it terrible. The series was devised by Roy Thomas and Conway. My recollection is Thomas…"

Henry K has asked me to relay an invitation to you: I'd appreciate it if you could let Luke Blanchard, Phillip Portelli, and anyone else who posted in my "NEW GODS", "WESTERNS" and "BIBLE" threads know about my KIRBY LAND group.
After a Jack Kirby Fan Group forum was hijacked by an unscrupulous individual on Facebook, Henry began his own forum, titled "Kirbyland" where he, and like-minded individuals continue to promote their beliefs on Facebook.
He wanted you to know.
