This is the third of the three issues of MARVEL’S GREATEST COMICS I pulled up out of the big bin of affidavit-return comic books in my local drug store after I’d gone back for a second helping of the Fantastic Four.

Even then there were signs of radioactive poisons in your body. And Captain, your condition is getting worse!” - Dr. Sane … Continue reading In Our Next STAR BLAZERS Adventure – Episode 12
We have reached a momentous moment in my personal comic book history at long last: the point at which I started to buy a Marvel comic.
