I believe that I picked up this issue of GREEN LANTERN while on a shopping trip one Satuday. That's a pretty good, eye-catching and dramatic cover by artist Mike Grell. Grell had been a semio-regular fixture on GREEN LANTERN ever since the title came back from limbo in 1976, and his Neal Adams-influenced artwork was … Continue reading BHOC: GREEN LANTERN #110
Still one more story written off in the wake of the DC Implosion of 1978 and only ever circulated in CANCELLED COMIC CAVALCADE, a home-copied volume created for contributors and to secure teh copyright to the material. DOORWAY TO NIGHTMARE was a late-in-the-game mystery/suspense series edited by Joe Orlando, at least initially. DC was still … Continue reading CANCELLED COMIC CAVALCADE #1: DOORWAY TO NIGHTMARE #6
GREEN LANTERN (Co-Starring Green Arrow) was a series whose move into the DC Explosion I really liked--mainly because I had a real love for the Golden Age heroes of DC's past. So having a regular back-up spot dedicated to Alan Scott, the Original Green lantern, was very welcome in my eyes. I also really liked … Continue reading BHOC: GREEN LANTERN #109
It was time for a new issue of SUPERMAN FAMILY to drop, and so I dutifully purchased this Dollar Comic from the 7-11 that week. SUPERMAN FAMILY was a bit of an inertial pick-up from me--I wasn't particularly or especially drawn to any of its myriad of strips, and yet I liked Superman and his … Continue reading BHOC: SUPERMAN FAMILY #191
I was and am a creature of habit. When something becomes a part of my routine, I tend to continue with it even past the point that made it part of the routine in the first place. In the case of BATMAN FAMILY, I had begun to read the series when it was largely a … Continue reading BHOC: BATMAN FAMILY #19
My subscription to JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA was still in force, and so this next issue arrived one day in my mailbox. This was an issue of some note, both because it featured the wedding of the Atom (at a time when super hero weddings was still a relatively rare occurrence) and because only a … Continue reading BHOC: JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #157
Another book that I picked up brand new was the next issue of SUPERMAN FAMILY. I followed this series right up until its demise, though I really couldn't tell you quite why. I wasn't especially enamored of any of teh characters who had solo strips within its pages, so it must simply be the allure … Continue reading BHOC: SUPERMAN FAMILY #190
I bought this issue of SUPERMAN FAMILY at my regular 7-11 haunt. Not quite sure why I kept up with the title, to be honest--I had bought two earlier issues because the Superman of Earth-2 was a guest star in one of the stories and I was a sucker for Earth-2. But I had no … Continue reading BHOC: SUPERMAN FAMILY #189
