    Should be easy wins for Eisner, Kirby and Wood.

    Deadpool vs Juggernaut in Deadpool 2.

    A present for Kav... https://whatculture.com/comics/10-insultingly-dumb-superman-comic-storylines

    They seem to be very popular with the GA collectors here.
  5. Ken Aldred
    It's actually a really good collection, with excellent remastered artwork.

    I've learned something there. I didn't know that Jim Mooney started in comics in the very early Golden Age.

    I was about to say, he's only going to be used to shaving off some very light bum fluff at best.

    Trouble is, they're trained professionals, whereas you can bet Johnny's only ever used a conventional shaver, electric or wet.

    I'll leave Jack Cole's Plastic Man for Mike to enthuse about later. I'm not greedy.

    Both Dr Fate and The Spectre. Love the darker, earlier stories in More Fun. (Or, in my case, the Archive hardcovers.)

    Great character. For me, the gas mask puts him in the Uncanny Valley; quite unsettling, emotionless, cold and robotic, something to disturb the criminals with.
  12. Ken Aldred
    Creig Flessel’s work is excellent.

    The Spirit. Particularly post-WW 2, when Will Eisner had refined his art style and used a wide range of storytelling techniques and mood, most famously the classic, influential, gritty urban crime noir. A genius creator of many short-but-brilliant stories.

    More to the point, only a very short time before this, in FF 1, his flame control was lousy... Must be a quick learner.

    After the appearance of Thanos in the end credits scene of the first Avengers film, IM 55 went from cold to stratospheric pretty much overnight, and that, for me, was the very apparent start of extreme, panicking, film speculation frenzy.

    It was the book that moved the film speculation era into overdrive, and a domino effect would be interesting to observe.

    Giant-Size X-Men 1 is my lifelong, most significant Bronze Age book, and so for me it crushes all opposition. Unsurprisingly, another vote for it from me. Although, I do like ASM 129 as well. I have both.

    +1 It is somewhat vague, emotionally.

    Besides being ridiculous, that sounds more like an ability that Bullseye would have rather than Hawkeye. But, I suppose if you’re an archer at his level there might be a transferable skill.

    From my experience back when I still bought physical copies, I ended up referring to that as ‘Diamond Distributors Mint condition’. They were appalling. Definitely a difference of opinion about ‘saleable condition’, especially for pricey hardcovers.

    I’d like to keep my experience as authentic as possible, as close to how it would’ve been done at the start of the 70s, so I’ll make a copy from a scan of the page, fill it out, scan again as a pdf and email it to DC on my mobile / cell.

    I know. Never liked it. Simon and Haney would pack as much as possible into a single sentence, just to be sure. Nothing like overcompensation.
  23. Ken Aldred
    Even as a kid in the 70s, that type of dialogue gave me a headache. Passé by then, though.
  24. Ken Aldred
    More likely Joe Simon. You remember his Brother Power comic?
  25. Ken Aldred
    I found the choices a bit confusing, as many of the artists didn't seem to be commonly associated with the genres they've been assigned to in the surveys.
