Good to see you posting again, Jack

 

Thanks -- I'm thrilled to be posting again.

 

A bit of catch-up

 

Thor 295-298. These Pollard covers are pretty good, esp. 298. Whatever happened to him? Still active? Fell out of favor?

Action 295. I think someone already posted it, but here's my ratty copy.

 

 

Four Color 298. The NERVE of some kid having fun with his comic book instead of letting a bunch of old Fudds obsess over it 60 years later!

Wonder if we'll see a post from "00Collector" today.

 

 

Some of these foil covers do not scan well ...

 

[Ant-Man]

 

That's one of the weirdest drawings of the Hulk I've seen.

 

Agreed. I'm all for artistic impression, but sometimes it just doesn't work for me. There's a small run of Mignola covers coming up that are both unique and palatable (IMO).

Did I miss this 299 yesterday?

 

 

Thor 300. I am overall enjoying the Pollard covers, although this one seems a little weaker. These are recently received so pretty easy to find -- I'll have to check whether the stories are readable.

Jutht like me today -- Mighty Thor!

 

 

Indian(?) gods vs Thor? Reminds me a little of Gaiman's American Gods that I'm reading now.

That Hulk cover is cool. Alot of good comics from the 80's

[selegue]

Uncanny X-Men 301.

 

 

Nice palette, but I don't care for the "cover every surface with radiating lines" style. It seems lazy to me.

 

Is Forge the Punisher wannabe on the left with the Big Gun and Grimace of the 90s? Why does he need a Big Gun? Isn't the point of the X-Men that they have mutant powers built in?
