    I dunno if I loved or hated that FF when I first read it, but I've definitely forgotten it.

    That was definitely the time to be reading comics. I'll take any of them over anybody working today.

    I'm with you Wayne. I am so greatful to have grown up in the Bronze age of comics. Groovster, these were my favorite years 1970 & 71. Top talent & exciting & well written stories! Even though the King had temporary left for DC.

    The huge gap was filled by great army of talented people. Keep'em coming Groovy One!
