  1. Is it possible html posting is disabled? I guessed it as you were posting.
  2. Being one that likes upgrades, I'm ok with the new format. Have a technical question. How do I make the <> button function correctly. For instance, I have html code that I want to convert to the proper format. Here is the code I insert after pressing the <> button: <b>Wonder Woman #101</b><br> October 1958 <br><br> <a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/user/tabcom/media/SA%20WW/101/ww101_zpsofq3irnv.jpg.html" target="_blank"><img src="https://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a352/tabcom/SA%20WW/101/ww101_zpsofq3irnv.jpg" border="0" alt=" photo ww101_zpsofq3irnv.jpg"></a> <br><br> Although I haven't rated any of these issues, this issue would get high marks for art and story. Pure SA fantasy at its best!<br><br> First story: "Undersea Trap!" <br><br> <a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/user/tabcom/media/SA%20WW/101/ww101a_zpssuytbzuz.png.html" target="_blank"><img src="https://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a352/tabcom/SA%20WW/101/ww101a_zpssuytbzuz.png" border="0" alt=" photo ww101a_zpssuytbzuz.png"></a> <br><br> <a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/user/tabcom/media/SA%20WW/101/ww101b_zpsetp8rkjv.png.html" target="_blank"><img src="https://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a352/tabcom/SA%20WW/101/ww101b_zpsetp8rkjv.png" border="0" alt=" photo ww101b_zpsetp8rkjv.png"></a> <br><br> <a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/user/tabcom/media/SA%20WW/101/ww101c_zpsxdbz78ch.png.html" target="_blank"><img src="https://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a352/tabcom/SA%20WW/101/ww101c_zpsxdbz78ch.png" border="0" alt=" photo ww101c_zpsxdbz78ch.png"></a> <br><br> <a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/user/tabcom/media/SA%20WW/101/ww101d_zpsvam8hw9q.png.html" target="_blank"><img src="https://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a352/tabcom/SA%20WW/101/ww101d_zpsvam8hw9q.png" border="0" alt=" photo ww101d_zpsvam8hw9q.png"></a> <br><br> Second Story: "Fun House of Time!" <br><br> <a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/user/tabcom/media/SA%20WW/101/ww101e_zpspkedssww.png.html" target="_blank"><img src="https://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a352/tabcom/SA%20WW/101/ww101e_zpspkedssww.png" border="0" alt=" photo ww101e_zpspkedssww.png"></a> <br><br> <a href="http://s15.photobucket.com/user/tabcom/media/SA%20WW/101/ww101f_zpstnkvrhxu.png.html" target="_blank"><img src="https://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a352/tabcom/SA%20WW/101/ww101f_zpstnkvrhxu.png" border="0" alt=" photo ww101f_zpstnkvrhxu.png"></a> <br><br>
  3. Wonder Woman #100 August 1958 Outstanding issue. Free of any ghost of GA past. Back up story . . .
  4. My wife is a hairstylist. I'll have to get her professional opinion to settle this.
  5. Wonder Woman #99 July 1958 Space age upgrade in art and content in this issue. Full throttled Silver Age adventure. Did you ever wonder how Wonder Woman can move about in space without a spacesuit? Secret Amazon Tech revealed . . .
  6. Steve Ditko Space Adventure #12 I love not only the audience knowing something she doesn't lurking from the back ground, but also the foreground shape in the lower right corner. Added touch is the alien duck foot as it enters the pod. Also, like the seldom used magenta as a dominate color of the alien. Starring at this one too long can cause a problem.
  7. Steve Ditko Space Adventure #10 The color offset gives an eerie 3D effect. Great page quality!
  8. Wonder Woman #98 May 1958 Having read dozens of these stories now, other than the revamped origin element (I liked), the plots are not much different from what came before. Giant eagle, menacing fish, enemy sub attack (swapped for space aliens), lovestruck Steve Trevor (getting stale), magical conclusion for the sake of helping kids. What set this issue apart from previous stories are two things. The 25 page format is more fluid then the previous 3 story format. The art is much improved. WW doesn’t feel like a static wood carved stencil. I like her straight hair vs. the old fashion curly doo. The Kanigher\Andru\Esposito collaboration is off to a running start.
  9. I agree with you on passé art. With respects to the reader reaction, when the target market was girls of the late 50s, hard to guess what they thought of the art style. Nonetheless, it all changed with issue #98. Coming up next!
  10. Wonder Woman #97 April 1958 Awesome Cover! Peter’s last issue features not three stories, but a three part story. Bob Kanigher is starting to bring his ‘A’ game with this issue. The Silver Age of Comics at DC is released in mass. This issue shared newsstand space with Lois Lane #1, Adventure Comics #247, and Showcase #13.
  11. At last, you sipped the kool-aid. Now you are getting it. Welcome to the snarkfest
  12. Actually, they do. I (along with several other lurkers) don't know a thing about the publisher or titles. Although I'm not interested in collecting them, I do have a great fascination as to what they are about. More intel, please.
  13. Wonder Woman #96 February 1958 Wonderful second cover of the Andru\Esposito team. However, the stories are more of the same. Angle Man returns, as if he never got caught the last time. Lovestuck Stevie has got it bad. Wonder Woman also suffers from writers block. The GA of WW death pains continue.
  14. Can anyone comment on the distribution of these comics? I would imagine they didn't hit newsstands very far beyond the Northeast. Any evidence they were widely found in the midwest or south?
  15. So, Mitch, did I pick good music for them to contemplate your return? I like where you're coming from on your dramatic soundtrack . . .
  16. With a cover date of Feb. 1942, these issues would have been on the newsstand as Pearl Harbor was unfolding and the Nazis marched to Moscow.
  17. Wonder Woman #95 January 1958 Another piece to the changing dynamics of Wonder Woman takes place this month. Cover is credited to both Ross Andru and Mike Esposito. I like the magenta Nuclear Exposition. The SA WW team of Kanigher\Andru\Esposito have worked together as far back as October 1954 issue of Our Army at War #27 Wonder Woman becomes radioactive as stories of childish fantasies slowly give way to the nuclear nightmare. Revealed is "The Secret of Wonder Woman's Tiara!", written by Robert Kanigher, with art by Harry G. Peter.
  18. Wonder Woman #94 November 1957 The popularity of the Superman TV show makes its presents felt in the opening Wonder Woman story. Yet another unscrupulous hollywood producer resorts to trickery. Duke Deception tries again to foil Wonder Woman.
  19.

  20. Wonder Woman #93 October 1957 Three stories of unremarkable work.
