Well, admittedly, Counterpoint has done just that, but I, shall we say, don't take them very seriously as a publisher, nor their "books" as collectibles.

That's an interesting example. I doubt the actual popularity of Moon Knight even equals the sales of that nowhere-near-best-selling title.

I like the cover, the story, the character, and that it is a first appearance. It is absolutely not a first appearance (at least not of any character that matters).

I also liked his Danger Unlimited, from the same time period. I like his stories quite a bit, unlike Kirby, who is like Lennon without McCartney when he does his own stories. True! Another interesting read that I'd like to see resurrected was Epic Illustrated. The beginnings of Dreadstar, some Silver Surfer stories and interesting one-off tales (check out "Worker In The City" by Archie Goodwin in #3). paqart and bc 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
