Thanks, Bill. I liked the Man O'Metal pages the best! Unconventional panel design, wild colors, quirky Peter artwork. Amazing stuff. There's so much offbeat Golden Age work worth reprinting, but not enough fans to make it pay off -- or did the success of the Fletcher Hanks book prove that's not quite true? Jack

"I am a real Superman!" instead of "Me am real Superman!" too. The writers hadn't quite gotten the full Bizarro shtick in place yet. Jack

Er.... This is a cake walk compared to the hand and window space. C'mon folks, rack those brains. Here's more, no excuses now. Maybe an Age would help? Jim It's solvable without! I have some ideas but no time to hunt. Good question. Jack

I'm trying to figure out how to ID the artists from this era at DC. GCD says Dillin/Moldoff on 46. Nope, I wouldn't have guessed it, but the spiky coats and bobble heads of those goooony lookin' aliens do remind me of a Batman alien cover. GCD says Bob Brown on 52. I would have gotten that one right! You can be sure that a decade earlier at a different publisher, SR would have been displaying Myra TOWARD the reader! Fun books, nice copies! Jack

Man O' Metal and Hydroman! GCD credits the cover (and Man O' Metal story) to H. G. Peter. Do you think that they collaborated on the cover? Unlikely that Peter drew that Hydroman figure! It'd be great to see your favorite interior pages (esp. Man O'Metal) if you can take pix without damage. Thanks, Jack

Thanks for the interiors! Features I've never seen before, for sure. I like the "underground lab" and Thor's acolyte packing a machine gun the best! Jack What about the "throbbing aparatus" in the underground lab? Why do you think I liked it so much? Jack

@#$%^& I have a copy of the replica edition, but not where I can get at it. I'll take a wild guess -- bathe daily. Jack

Was it Tommy Trippit? but this isn't Jeopardy! (Answers in the form of a question really got povertyrow's dander up a few days ago.) Next question, please! Interesting cover -- new one on me! Jack

Western Killers 59 (no number) Jack bronze_rules must be sleepin' off his New Year's Eve. I'm sure enough that my answer is right that I'll post a question to move thing along. If I'm wrong, dock me a point! What was the full name (first and last) of Tippy Teen's boyfriend? Jack

I spent over an hour last night, between watching New Year's festivities on TV, trying to find this comic and can see now I wasn't even close to locating it... Jim I got lucky -- vaguely remembered that it was "Western [something]", went to Western Outlaws first in Gerber and there it was nearby. Jack

Fun! You just started animating recently, right? Jack

Dum Dum Dugan is the most accurate answer --- he is the agent that first puts hands on the sniper to arrest him. I would also have accepted Nick Fury (also in the room, and in command), or just SHIELD in general. Great job! Out of curiosity: did you pull a copy and flip thru the story for the answer, or do you have one of those memories that can dredge up this stuff? I had to research this one, although aweforone found the cover faster. So I'll give him my 1/2 pt. Not sure if he's still here, but I'll put this one up to stew on. Title and issue?

Your WIFE bought you an expensive Golden Age slabbed comic book with a woman in bondage? Please let me know the address of the Bizarro universe that you live in so that I can move there in 2008! Nice gift! Jack

GREAT QUESTIONS! This is a tongue-in-cheek answer. According to GCD, this story title appeared in: Dennis the Menace #61 1959 August, 1962 Green Arrow #48 2001 May 2005 Sugar & Spike #8 1956 Richie Rich? NObody indexes Richie Rich. I did the first Richie index only about 3(?) years ago. Happy New Year! Jack

I never noticed how alike these two critters look! From the same year too. Do you suppose that Murphy Anderson did more than just ink the JLoA cover? Jack

A noble attempt, but wrong. Jack Frankie Sommers Fantastic! I was afraid that only superhero questions were going to work out. Let's have another question that's hard to find on the web. Jack

Thenkyavurrymuch. Trivia questions are easy when you've got reference books and the whole www at your fingertips! Here's one that I don't think anyone can find on the www. Maybe we'll have to set a time limit if it proves impossible. DC's "Secret Hearts" serialized a soap opera called "Reach for Happiness!" that involved a woman whose movie-star husband was killed in an accident. What was the husband's name? Jack

This Magazine is Haunted 12. Your clues gave it away. I thought somewhere back there it was IDed as Bronze Age, and figured I didn't have a prayer! Jack

Sorry selegue, but your 2nd answer took too long (smack me later). Congrats bronze rules! Rick No smack. I had to look it up (is that cheating in this game?) -- better that someone who actually knew the answer won. Too late in the series for me to know it off the top of my head. I wonder why the writer (Busiek) decided to create a villain so similar to Amazo. Jack

Paragon. Jack

Amazo JPS

I'll have a wild stab in the dark: DC Special #4 1st App House of Mystery #175 EDIT: Make that House of Secrets #81, not HoM 175. Clearly, I don't really know what I'm talking about Man you beat me on that one! But I am still unsure of the first appearance of Cain and Abel in their own story. (Gotta love selegue's "is there another Cain?" - no wonder they're called marvel Zombies!) HAW! Was I ever on the wrong track! The sad part is that I'm overall more of a DC Zombie than a Marvel Zombie, but Bronze Horror is one of my blind spots. I should have remembered Cain and Abel from Sandman -- but I would have confidently guessed Genesis 4:1-16 for the first appearance of Cain and Abel in their own story. Jack

I'll give it a try to kick-start the game. Charles Xavier (Professor X) is the stepbrother (not brother) of Cain Marko (Juggernaut -- is there another cain?). Xavier first appeared in The X-Men 1, and they both appeared together in The X-Men 12 (why "short story"?). Is that what you were asking? Jack
