Superman from about 300-340

 

School me fingh, what's so great about these?

 

There were some great storylines. A Parasite arc that was a great, a Kandor arc that was great, the purple splotchy disease arc scared the whizz out of me as a seven year old. There was a bad guy called "Amalek" or something like that was really scary. It is another series that may not age well, because I haven't read it since I was 10. But I remember really enjoying it.

Now, which Kirby title to choose?

 

Loaded question. :fear:

 

The board's conventional wisdom is that Kirby's 1970s work sucks, but I'm one of the biggest Fourth World advocates around.

 

So I'll nominate a big chunk of the series as essential bronze reading:

 

Jimmy Olsen #133-#138, #147, #148

Forever People #1-#8, #11

New Gods #1 - #11

Mr. Miracle #1 - #10, #18
