This has got to be one of the most interesting threads of recent times.
I was buying off the spinner racks at age 12 in 1965 and my favorites are Kirby, Ditko and Sekowsky.
I was one of the few in my group who collected both D.C. and Marvel.
As a lover and collector of Sekowsky/Sachs JLA OA, I was particularly struck by vodou's observation that :
"Collectors of all eras have their nostalgic touchstones to which they are aesthetically blind...generally the rest of us don't call that deficiency out, out of kindness, and especially on the The OFFICIAL "This Week..." thread.
And, of course, we all suffer terribly that same deficiency to a greater or lesser extent ;\)"
