Have these clowns not learned from past books that they paid well over the odds for only to plummet months if not weeks later? Good luck to anyone selling one though and tough titty to anyone buying one. Frederic9494, MAR1979, greggy and 2 others 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That splash page is burned in my memory!At 12 years old Captain America 149 was The start of my marvel comic journey.within a few months Steve Engelhart had taken over writer duties (and brought the book back from near cancellation to be one of their best sellers) but it was Sal Buscema’s art that originally drew me in, when Frank Robbins took over I thought it wrecked the book, Steve subsequently left a few issues later. luckily I was branching out to other books such as Engelhart’s Avengers and Defenders amongst others. If Frank Robbins had been drawing the book when I started it may have ended right there. Been waiting 48 years to get that off my chest!

I was buying FF & Cap back issues from a collector who lived down the street from me. I was probably 10 at the time. Every week I’d go back, and buy as many of the next few issues I could afford. I competed FF 80-200 from that collection, and was buying Cap from 149 up. Loved those books. Until I got home with the first Robbins issues....

Never thought that Frank Robbins' Milton Caniff style fitted the super-hero genre. Only character where I though he did well was Batman... especially the cowl with collar (similar to the recent Batman movie) vaillant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
