EastEnd1 Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 (edited) I always found the Nosferatu version of Dracula the creepiest. Nosferatu was the basis for the vampire in the Steven King tv mini-series "Salem's Lot" when I was a kid and it scared the bejeezus out of me! King's "Salem's Lot" is a GREAT read by the way... think I read somewhere that it's his personal favorite of all his books...

EastEnd1 Posted August 6 Author Share Posted August 6 Ok let's finish off this feb 1998 box... Seeing a re-intro of Werewolf By Night definitely got my interest. I hadn't collected the original Werewolf By Night series in the 1970s, but I grew up on the Universal monster movies and the Werewolf was my favorite... I always felt bad for Lawrence Talbot who never wanted to harm people but couldn't control his werewolf curse. Anyway, a neat gothic cover on this first issue but looks like the re-intro ultimately didn't pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastEnd1 Posted August 6 Author Share Posted August 6 Cosmic-Carnage takes on the Silver Surfer in this Spidey... and even Galactus makes a cameo appearance. Hoping this one gets a 9.8... ADAMANTIUM, the authority, kimik and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastEnd1 Posted August 6 Author Share Posted August 6 The very first "expensive" back issue I ever bought was Iron Man #2. It was maybe a VG copy and it cost me a whopping $3.50 at Mike's Comic Hut in Flushing NY around 1978. I bought a #1 about a year later for $15 at the same place. I know they don't sound so expensive but I was a young teen used to paying $.25 to $.40 cents at the time for new comics! I was very much into Iron Man in my early collecting days... I discovered the character during the great Dave Michelinie / Bob Layton run that gave us such classics as Demon In a Bottle (#128) and Iron Man ultimately became my favorite Marvel character and the first Marvel series that I completed. Alas, I eventually got away from Iron Man, and looks like I only ordered one copy of his volume 3 re-launch... (Oh and I still own the Iron Man #1 and #2... they're beat up but definitely keepers... too nostalgic for me.)

EastEnd1 Posted August 6 Author Share Posted August 6 I was a big fan of Art Adams work on Longshot when that mini-series originally came out. Adams wasn't very prolific... think I heard somewhere that he struggled meeting deadlines with all the detail he put in his art. Looks like Michael Zulli tried to replicate Adams style on this cover, but doesn't quite get there in my view... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
