As for the rest of ya, the purpose of this blog is to (re)introduce you to the great comics of the 1970s. If you like what you see, do what I do--go to a comics shop, bookstore, e-Bay or whatever and BUY YOUR OWN!
These are great I MEAN GROOVY, had to take my time studying 'em all up close! As much as I dig Man-Bat, I gotta say... these darn Marvel pages are growing on me. I liked that dude's costume on the 'Dynamic Defenders' page. Maybe I shouldn't have been so anti-Marvel in my younger DC days... thanks for the look back Groove!
ReplyDeleteHa, I'm not a bit surprised that a DC guy like you is drawn to Nighthawk--after all, he is Marvel's answer to Batman! :D
DeleteSo many good ones! Conan and Batman Family and Black Panther stand outside for me:).
ReplyDeleteI agree--I'm glad I have them all so I don't have to choose! My favorites change on a daily basis anyway, lol!
DeleteWhat more could one ask for: Starlin on Warlock, Englehart/Brunner on Dr Strange, Thomas/Smith on Conan and MacGregor/Graham on Black Panther? Still Marvel's best period and a constant infusion of adrenaline for this then high schooler.
