Soldiers riding to soldiers marching

What's worse than both is making ignorant comments from the privilege of the bully pulpit, which is what Maher did. I have no problem with the "flamethrower for the left" shtick; both sides of the politicotainment industry have them. Sad that this journalism today, but that's a whole other ball o' wax. He kinda needlessly worked Stan and comics in there to take a jab at his favorite target. He was reaching, and his understanding of comics is lacking. I think that's the kernel of what annoyed the annoyed.

At least that'll be a funeral we can look forward to!

Paste Pot Pete Prototype!

Paste Pot Pete in 1962 was actually less corny than the Beyonder in 1982 or wheneverabouts. And as the Trapster he was right on point through the Bronze Age, anyway. I kind of miss villains who just want to steal once in a while. They are a nice, refreshing break from the latest omnipotent, God-like being who suddenly acquired immeasurable power and wants to rule all realities. Again. Ad nauseum. Ho hum. Gimme a handful of super villains and a slugfest once in a while.

Got a raw #10 coming, sir?

Bombs to bombs away

Wedding bells...'til death do us part...

+1 to Peter's point....nice book, congrats! And another thing ... Cap would kick the outta Batman in a fight

I think that's the first time I've seen all four sides of an issue number box present on a ST101! Sweet book!

Dave claimed an assortment of GA books in a thread of mine and promptly settled upon completion. A great and pleasant boardie to chat with, and a fast and square person to transact with.

Yep Bob, thanks! That's it! Mine wasnt handily available. I learned about its significance reading Hero's 100 Most Important Comics of All Time. Fun little one-shot mag they released sometime in the late 80s or early 90's, I think.

We need an R

I wrote this in the other thread, intending to reply to this one. I realize my sadness is for us, not for him as he had a heckuva ride, except for perhaps the last year. Thank you for everything you gave us and left us! To OP @Robot Man's question: important seems to me to have two answers, FF1 and AF15, and I'd think one could argue effectively for either one all day. But that isn't really the point so much as to stir up memories. Which leads to the question of memorable, and so many great choices were named already. For me, it's Avengers #4, when he really pulled the golden age forward into the then-current age and fully formed the idea of continuity as central to the Marvel Universe. Surfer #1 also jumped immediately to mind for me, and someone said FF51. Which was a big "Oh yeah!" My parents sent me to Catholic grade school, but my morality came from Cap and Ben Grimm. If I had my Strange Worlds #1 photographed, I'd pop it in the thread for posterity, as its Lee and Kirby's first work together. Anyone got a pic handy? Unlike many of you, I never met Stan in person but I did have the privilege of interviewing him by telephone. It was a profile on the career of Joe Sinnott, and it ran in Comic Book Marketplace #39 (Fantastic #3 cover). When I reached Stan's California office (it was 1996, and Stan was trying to give birth to Marvel movies) his receptionist was quite polite but told me she thought it was unlikely he would make time for any interviews given how busy he was with then-fledgling film efforts. I simply asked her to tell him it was about Joe Sinnott. The next person to pick up the line was Stan. It was a gracious and rambling 15 or 20 minutes, and I have my full notes somewhere, but I will share now two quotes from the article: Stan's credo for Marvel Comics in his own words (which he was saying Sinnott exemplified) -- "As much excitement and integrity into every panel as clearly and dramatically as possible." And Joe Sinnott describing a visit to Stan's office: "Every time I went in, he was working. Stan would type and talk. He typed on yellow legal paper that he blocked into panels. He typed in captions and dialogue, and he kept it to a minimum. He was an artist's writer. Maybe his stories were a little simple, but they were always effective. He knew how to tell a story with as few words as possible." Face front, effendi! Valhalla awaits! Excelsior! Quote Edit Options

FF50?

@Haupia Look up, George!

But if I update it then trade it, the new photo won't be accurate!
