I love researching and thinking about my answers when I come across one of these lists.<br /><br />That Batman 246 is also a good story with fantastic art. I remember my Dad asking me why I carried it around with me all the time and I went into a ten minute explanation about these two characters named Batman and Robin. I got most of the facts wrong. Maybe that is why he started bringing comics home for me. It always meant a lot to me that he took the time to check out the comics on the spinner rack.Kalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663751053844271849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528812496347938474.post-6247761272002421092012-10-24T04:29:28.060-07:002012-10-24T04:29:28.060-07:00Ahh, I believe it's 'Chick Stone', and...Ahh, I believe it's 'Chick Stone', and he inked the early FFs before leaving Marvel.<br /><br />(Never could draw Grimm right..)<br /><br />LOTS of greatness here sir. MUST grab that Conan Cimmerian cover. (MUST...).<br /><br />I remember picking up that Spidey Treasury Edition back in '74, also kept it in pristine condition. SUCH a gorgeous hunk of paper. I must have read it endlessly.<br /><br />I'm looking for awesome Silver/Bronze comics to buy, selling off some of my megos, been looking at that Batman 246 (being a big Robin fan).<br /><br />Yeah, that Liefeld Cap is pure JUNK. Sorry, I grew up on Cap and Falc's 'Secret Empire' masterpiece, so I'm too loyal to ol' Sal Buscema or his brother Big John. <br /><br />VERY IMPRESSED with your Spidey 26 in NM. Earliest I've got is FF 13, but it's VG+ at best. STILL an awesome cover. <br /><br />Never was a big XMen fan (am pickin' up XMen #49 with the Steranko cover one of these days though...), but did grab the Secret Wars Wolverine figure when it came out. Thought he was a fine looking figure, as were most of the SW figs they came out with. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing, always love your Q&A's..!!david_bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00218727673816200051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528812496347938474.post-79118778842151211082012-10-23T19:21:28.245-07:002012-10-23T19:21:28.245-07:00What happened if I can ask?What happened if I can ask?Kalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663751053844271849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528812496347938474.post-90188927086242117422012-10-23T18:33:13.767-07:002012-10-23T18:33:13.767-07:00Pretty sure I got hit by a multiversal god bullet ...Pretty sure I got hit by a multiversal god bullet today.

It'd be funny if it weren't meant to be taken seriously.<br /><br />I used to read a lot of web comics, but not as much anymore unfortunately. I can't say for sure if many would fit your range of interests. If I could I'd like to recommend a newsprint comic: Ink Pen, since it celebrates as well as lampoons the comics and cartoon culture so brilliantly.<br /><br />http://www.gocomics.com/inkpen/<br /><br />Good survey Kal, I ought to consider doing it myself. The only question thats missing is Favorite Comics Cover(s), though that could be a whole post.Erik Johnson Illustratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11184274387021011687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2528812496347938474.post-87948823481552072002012-10-23T14:44:26.779-07:002012-10-23T14:44:26.779-07:00The only thing more putrid than those Bible Archie...The only thing more putrid than those Bible Archie comics are those little J.W. religious tract comic books that they used to hand out.
