The spinner rack of 2013

[Lee K]

Or, where are all the 'other' stories

 

I took a moment today, while I was in my LCS to really consider and compare my reading options whilst scanning the DC rack. (I will consider marvel another time)

 

After eliminating everything published under the Vertigo brand, here is what remained:

 

One western title

Four or five (depending on how you count them) occult titles

A giant poo.load of superhero titles.

 

That's it. No real options there.

 

Personally, I collect titles from 66 & 67 - DC's go-go check era, and my want list includes the following:

 

One western title (Tomahawk)

Four humor books

Plus one funny animal book (Fox & Crow)

Seven romance books

Six war books

One parody book (Inferior 5)

One of whatever you categorize Swing with Scooter as

Five science fiction books

Three books of heroes (Sea Devils, Challengers, Blackhawks)

Whatever you consider Doom Patrol to be

Lois Lane & Jimmy Olsen books

And twenty superhero books.

 

So...where have all our choices gone?

Do you collect Animal Man's first appearance in Strange Adventures? I believe they carry the checkered heading.

I have all the Animal Man appearances except the second one (iss 184). His 1st & 2nd apps are pre checks era - but his 1st full, 1st in costume, and last SA appearances are all checked.

 

Check out my Strange Adventures registry set for pics of 180, 190, 195, & 202.
