A post from my old long-gone Marvel blog on the various Marvel editorial credits and how they work. Monday, 12:55 April 28, 2007 | 1:00 AM | By Tom_Brevoort | In General People ask all the time about the number of editorial credits on our books. The snarky ones even go so far as to … Continue reading Blah Blah Blog – Editorial Credits
There was a little store in one of the mini-malls where my Mother regularly shopped--I can't recall if it was a candy store or a stationary store or what. But the important bit here is that it carried a tiny selection of comic books. Tiny--just a few titles at any given time. So each time … Continue reading BHOC: BRAVE AND THE BOLD #140
I've been a regular viewer of DOCTOR WHO since around 1981, starting with Tom Baker (his first three seasons, which were ubiquitous here in the U.S. for many years) and I've watched it regularly and continuously since then--albeit with the huge gap in the middle that everybody suffered through in the 90s. In my household, … Continue reading Doctor Who: Spyfall part one
One of the things that John Romita used to say is that Stan Lee based a lot of his theories on how to grab comic book audiences and how to speak to the readership from Charles Biro, who co-edited the Lev Gleason line of titles in the 1940s and 50s. Biro was a pioneer who … Continue reading Daredevil is Exposed

I bought this issue at my local 7-11, and some time later, my brother Ken also bought himself a copy for some reason. This was the second new off-the-racks issue of MARVEL'S GREATEST COMICS that I purchased, having jumped on board the FANTASTIC FOUR/Marvel train not long before. This issue reprinted FANTASTIC FOUR #95, whereas … Continue reading BHOC: MARVEL’S GREATEST COMICS #76
I've got a piece percolating on the assorted roads to Marvel's Thor--but before I get to that (and because it would be too unwieldy to post the whole of this story amidst a whole other article) I thought I would whet your appetite by posting the first Thor story done in comic books. When the … Continue reading The First Thor Story
A post from my old Marvel blog concerning the resilience of the Marvel characters and their ability to live through bad stories. Turns out it wasn't for real--it was a hoax. Unbreakable April 28, 2007 | 1:00 AM | By Tom_Brevoort | In General Here's the thing: the characters are invulnerable.I'm not talking about super-powers … Continue reading Blah Blah Blog – Unbreakable
I still wasn't buying the main AVENGERS title at this point, but strangely enough, I did continue to follow MARVEL TRIPLE ACTION. It's probably a reflection of the fact that, even in the 1970s, the comic book stories of the 60s held the greatest appeal for me. I bought this issue on my regular weekly … Continue reading BHOC: MARVEL TRIPLE ACTION #40
