    He's still doing some nice art and panel / page layouts, even if it can look inconsistent or sloppy at times. Maybe there's an attempt to emulate the detailed line commonplace with younger artists, especially those influenced by the Image style, and it is different to the cleaner, less-detailed work of his peak, late-Silver to Bronze Age period.

    I was going to suggest Jane Foster Thor, but, fair enough, it's a poor second to this.

    He also recently did an issue of Kamandi Challenge. Issue 2, I think.

    Also issue 5. The key first appearance of a classic Bronze Age character, Hellcow.

    Yup. Very confused history. At one point she was retconned to be related to Arion of Atlantis, from the 80s comic book.

    Pretty much essential add-ons for an EC collector, with work from many of the company's artists such as, from memory; Frank Frazetta, Al Williamson, Roy Krenkel, Angelo Torres, Wally Wood, Johnny Craig, Reed Crandall, John Severin and Joe Orlando.

    Creepy 1. Frazetta qualifies as great art, I believe. The first dozen or so issues of Creepy and Eerie contain stories written by Archie Goodwin, one of the best creators from the late Silver Age to Bronze Age. Alternatively, for some great war stories, Blazing Combat 1.
  8. Ken Aldred
    You're in the right section. They're Bronze Age books.

    He's no Fin Fang Foom. Nidhogg vs Fin Fang Foom, though?

    Being intolerant of it myself, that's a frightening thought. If we work with the idea of a gluten-intolerant Galactus, then there’s the prospect of an explosive follow-through and flatus shockwave on a planet-destroying level. It would've been interesting to see Kirby's visual interpretation of that.

    It's inevitable with his diet that, sooner or later, he would develop severe constipation.

    Action Comics 340

    Metamorpho 16

    If we are talking cosmic level, in online lists The One Above All often gets picked as the most powerful Marvel character. I remember a Fantastic Four comic in which he appeared to the team in the form of Jack Kirby.

    Good choice, but Odin’s supposed to be even harder. Not that you’d guess it from the film version.

    You've clearly never been prescribed Paxil.
  18. Ken Aldred
    Great choice. Despite his shortcomings, a decent taste in music and kind to space cetaceans.

    To be fair, Steve, I did manage to keep it serious. I was resisting the temptation to post my favourite joke character, Cheeks the Toy Wonder. Oh, well, that didn't last long. I tried, anyway.

    The thread would be no fun if everyone did it. Someone's got to be relatively obscure, for balance.

    Although shipping to the UK back in the early 90s was very slow, by surface mail, I agree that their packing was excellent.

    This reminded me about another of my all-time favourite characters with super-strength, Ferro Lad of the Legion of Super-Heroes, one with an equally tragic history, and an influence on Colossus for Dave Cockrum.
  23. Ken Aldred
    Darkseid or Thanos. Combination of intellect, physical power, and attitude.

    It seems that Mile High uses a very advanced pricing algorithm, once which is generally very, very confusing. As a result, I suspect it's something to do with Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle formula. The physicist, not the character played by Bryan Cranston.
  25. Ken Aldred
    Yup. True for most of their catalogue. I just used to stick to the cheap specials section. Once I'd exhausted that option, too pricey.
