I don’t have any to contribute, but it’s fascinating. Sometimes I find the fading can produce an effect similar to what’s seen with 3D comics.

Very educational. I’m learning a lot here.

They’re not that pricey compared to Beano 1.

Aparo’s art looks really nice in this remastered format. Works very well.

Doctor Bong and Hellcow could crash as well.

That's a myth, comic and film conflict which I thought Nick might've brought up. In the myths and comics, Hel or Hela is Loki's daughter, in the film she's Odin's daughter, and so Thor's sister. In the comics, Angela, or Aldrif, as she's renamed, is Odin's daughter, and Thor's sister. So, Hela complicates the relationship already if Angela makes a sudden appearance in the next film as a long lost sibling. It's like a bad soap opera.

Quite common to find conditions in which an individual is dissociated from the world and considers the possibility that there might be something artificial about it, such as with autism and psychosis, perceptions which can also be altered therapeutically with medication, that is, ‘pills’. As a starting point this doesn’t really require anything based upon philosophy. Give the transition between states of awareness a then fairly early tech, internet spin, and copy the basic idea used in Alex Proyas’ Dark City.

Now retconned as Thor’s sister. The transitional mini-series was quite good.

Never thought that much of Friedrich as a writer. Werewolf by Night is a little better, but my favourite is Fear / Man-Thing. More excellent Ploog art for you there, but also many great stories by Steve Gerber. Those are available digitally as Complete Collection books, which are the same quality but have more material than the Masterworks volumes.

Once you get into the issues in the teens, from then on Wolfman and Colan are very consistent. They do quite well within the limitations of Comics Code "horror".

I’d like to see that used more often.

Taserface has already been used, so it’s a really tough one to answer at this stage.

I agree. The idea could’ve been taken from Metal Hurlant / Heavy Metal or any number of European sources.

Probably not. The Super-Soldier Serum variant used on him induced psychosis, so he’s being controlled with medication drugs coated in American flag colours, also playing into his obsessive patriotism. There’s a degree of interpretation of reality there, but not close enough in nature to that played out in The Matrix.

The later material is quite nice, as are his Man-Thing issues.

You get put on a mailing list and are sent email sale offers.

His work for Warren magazines copied the style of his mentor, Will Eisner. That style carried over to his early horror work at Marvel, but I agree that a lot of it looks loose, rough and rushed. Later on, of course, his art started to more closely resemble Berni Wrightson’s, and became tighter and more detailed.

There was a very intensive remastering programme started in the early 2000s at Marvel.

Double tap a panel to make it full screen, then swipe right to go through the panels in story sequence.

That’s a very sensible plan of attack.

It’s the ideal size to do that. Also, if the OP’s Ghost Rider page seems too bright and garish to some, then the image settings are adjustable for comfort.

I’ve picked up quite a few digital Masterworks and DC collected editions, especially in the Comixology sales, some for as little as 69p. Allows you to try out material from Masterwork books that would otherwise prohibitively cost you $65 - $75 (or UK equivalent) as physical copies. Also, lots of Image and Fantagraphics material from them, £3 trade collections that would go for £10+ as physical copies at the LCS. Also, don’t forget there’s lots of cheap, high quality reading material made available by Humble Bundle as well. I’ve been using an iPad Pro for about 4 years now. Just fantastic, a great way to read comics.
