Hey AlexH...

19 posts in this topic

... someone has probably already asked, but can a summary page be made of the results from all the comic battle rounds? We are up to Round #26, adn it is tough to find all that have gone before.

 

Maybe Arch can make it a sticky?

 

And thanks for doing this - it is great fun! thumbsup2.gif

Since we are asking Alex questions... tongue.gif

 

Why wasn't Special Marvel Edition #15 included the last round??? makepoint.gif

 

First, SME #15 was from 1973, a year before my cut-off for this contest. Sorry, but I had to draw the line somewhere.

 

Ok, that is a reason I can accept. grin.gif

2 more results to be posted. Now comes the ever important question before these books face off against each other, ARE THERE ANY BOOKS THAT WERE MISSING FROM THIS CONTEST THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE DO BATTLE? Remember that the cut-off date is 1974.

 

Now is the time to tell me. If I do not hear anything by the weekend, we will go into the next round of the competition on Monday.

 

Thanks,

 

Alex

New Teen Titans #1 (1984)

 

Alex, my memory is fuzzy on this one... Was the winner the 1984 Baxter series or the 1980 initial launch of the title? (the followup to the preview in DC Comics Presents?)

 

Also, have you considered these previous requests? 893crossfingers-thumb.gif

 

the Batman/Manhunter teamup from Detective 443? (Dec 1974) by Goodwin & Simonson (won a truckload of industry awards at the time)

 

the Silver St. Cloud / Boss Thorne run from Detective 471-476? (1977-78) by Englehart & Rogers/Austin (its sequel is coming 28 years later as this summer's "Dark Detective" mini-series)

the Batman/Manhunter teamup from Detective 443? (Dec 1974) by Goodwin & Simonson (won a truckload of industry awards at the time) I did have a look at this one, but because it contains Golden Age stories as well, I didn't think I should include it

 

the Silver St. Cloud / Boss Thorne run from Detective 471-476? (1977-78) by Englehart & Rogers/Austin (its sequel is coming 28 years later as this summer's "Dark Detective" mini-series)

I'll have to look into this one 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

This is do-able. If nothing else is suggested, I will come up with a challenger for it tomorrow.

 

Got to include 'Tec 471 - 476. Definitive Batman!! How could we forget......
