That one scene of ROM plowing through a jet fighter is worth a thousand words. Who else would do that and looks so awesome? Iron Man, probably, but it took 30 years for film to catch that level of cool.<br /><br />Golden's work on the Batman Family, especially the issue where Ragman meets Batman, was awesome. I mean, AWESOME. The way Bats fights, and the way he gets hit by Ragman makes you go OUCH!<br /><br />I gotta stop. But Golden KNEW intuitively how to make our heroes have weight and power and glory while doing seemingly normal stuff. It was Berni Wrightson meets Todd McFarlane or Frank Frazetta meets Jose Garcia Lopez - just breathtaking stuff.<br />Justicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09730212219223427414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-28378561445424367502011-03-02T09:01:52.350-05:002011-03-02T09:01:52.350-05:00I bought the ROM books because of the covers!I bought the ROM books because of the covers!Don Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04525060094282561242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-38094698924964752422011-03-01T18:23:11.240-05:002011-03-01T18:23:11.240-05:00Only DC cover I remember from Golden with any cert...Only DC cover I remember from Golden with any certainty was for The 1984 Batman Special.

Just sort of lost track of him when he was doing The 'Nam; just never cared for the subject matter.jefsviewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-85304449235958707152011-03-01T00:11:42.546-05:002011-03-01T00:11:42.546-05:00Golden!

Remember that big rectangular poster he did of the marching Marvel Universe? It was a give away or sold super cheap through the mail. You should use it as a banner here!Mike Mikulovskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13426364090992151914noreply@blogger.com
