As I wrote about last time, it was getting a pair of Marvel comics that put me off of the brand for several years. One was an issue of THOR, and the other was this issue of CAPTAIN AMERICA. I should mention, for context, that this is the final part of Steve Englehart’s long Watergate/Secret … Continue reading BHOC: CAPTAIN AMERICA #183

I can remember it very clearly. We were coming back from someplace and my Dad stopped at the 7-11 to pick up cigarettes. The family stayed in the car–but I asked him to get me a comic book. He came back with two–thinking about it, I expect that one of them was intended for my … Continue reading BHOC: THOR #233

At this point, I had a subscription to FLASH and I knew it worked–I had received two issues previous to this. But still I was worried–maybe I wouldn’t get … Continue reading BHOC: FLASH #232

This issue of SUPERMAN represents one of the last I’d ever purchase, bought as usual from my local 7-11. I’ve had two or three copies of this book over the years–not quite sure what … Continue reading BHOC: SUPERMAN #284
