ciorac Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Very happy to get this Blue Beetle 1 Congrats Todd (thumbs u Maybe I can convince Matt to sell me back my copy when he is here in June? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFury Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Very happy to get this Blue Beetle 1 It's a really fun book, Todd - some great Yarko reprints in there too. Thanks, Steve, I'll check it out. I don't crack my books out like Pons, but I do read them in the archives, or in this case where there is no archive, by getting a digital copy. I read the Blue Beetle stories already, and while I knew they were reprints of the first 5 Mystery Men Blue Beetle stories, I didn't know there was a new origin story created just for this book. The weird thing is, the story does not detail why or how exactly he became the Blue Beetle! I'll check out the Yarko stories next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, what does your copy say under "Foe of the Underworld"? No text in that area on Todd's copy or the Larson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

generic user Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 For the love of God, would somebody please post a new comic to stave off the mind numbingly boring conversations about MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Frack! Is that what we've become? A bunch of damned investors? It's the books tha matter, not the fracking money. Except for our dealer friends of course To prove I'm not in it for the money, this is the kinda stuff I've been buying lately: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozentundraguy Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Seeing Snuffy Smith and Barney Google (thumbs u , reminded me of another mid 40's favorite, Smokey Stover. In this issue he only has two one page stories, and his "Foomobile" is not seen in action. A bit more on the Foomobile, from Wiki. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smokey_Stover The goofy situations in Holman's comic strip usually feature Smokey (short for "Smokestack") Stover, the "foolish foo (fire)fighter", often riding in his impossible, two-wheeled “Foomobile” (a single-axle fire engine which resembles a modern Segway with seats, or an independent sidecar) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
