Reader Questions 6 September 14, 2009 | 1:00 AM | By Tom_Brevoort | In General A new week begins, and now we start to get to the more difficult questions. So let's see what I can make of these: >Remember … Continue reading Blah Blah Blog – Reader Questions 6
This issue of HERCULES was another book that I got out of the Modern Comics 3-Bags of comics that I purchased at the local Two Guys discount department store. And like the earlier issue that I spoke about, it wasn't a comic book that appealed to me, but figuring that Hercules was an Avenger over … Continue reading BHOC: HERCULES #10
This issue of SUPERMAN'S PAL JIMMY OLSEN was another book that came to me as part of that Windfall Comics purchase of 1988, where I ran into a guy at my local post office who sold me a box of 150 silver age comics for fifty bucks. There were more Superman family books in that … Continue reading WC: SUPERMAN’S PAL JIMMY OLSEN #54
Another post in which I answer questions put to me by the readers of my long-ago Marvel blog. Reader Questions 7 September 16, 2009 | 1:00 AM | By Tom_Brevoort | In General All right, here are a few more answers (or almost-answers) to some much-contested questions to hold you over for another day: >The … Continue reading Blah Blah Blog – Reader Questions 7
Now this was another comic book that I welcomed--not so much for the lead Thunderbolt story as for the back-up featuring my new obscure favorites, the Sentinels. As with the other issue I had sampled, this one was reissued by Modern Comics in the 1970s. They had contracted to provide and sell 3-Bags of comic … Continue reading BHOC: THUNDERBOLT #58

In the postwar era, the public's taste in comic books shifted away from super heroes towards other genres. Notably, humor comics became quite popular, and like … Continue reading Forgotten Masterpiece: ALL FUNNY COMICS #16
A post from my old Marvel blog detailing the end of my Take My Trade experiment where I started with five random junk comics and traded with fans to the point where I acquired a copy of FANTASTIC FOUR #1, all to benefit the Hero Initiative. I don't still have a copy of the video … Continue reading Blah Blah Blog – Trading Update #18 – For The Win!
Now, who would have ever thought that one day this would be a comic book and a character of note. It simply goes to show: you just never know what some future creator is going to be able to make something out of. PEACEMAKER #1 was one of two issues of the series reissued by … Continue reading BHOC: PEACEMAKER #1
This issue of FANTASTIC FOUR, #31, was another book that I got in my Windfall Comics purchase of 1988, in which I wound up buying a long box of about 150 Silver Age comics for the dirt-cheap price of $50.00. I had read this story previously in its later MARVEL'S GREATEST COMICS reprinting, but it … Continue reading WC: FANTASTIC FOUR #31
Another post from my Marvel blog of days gone by in which I answered questions from the readers. I no longer seem to have the photo mentioned in the text, sadly.
