Along with a few other scattered Byrne covers for Charleton books. It would probably fit in best with the thinner ROG 2000 collection. <br /><br />I was a huge KAMANDI fan when that first issue of DOOMSDAY +1 came out, and I don't think it's a coincidence that it has a strong resemblence to the cover of KAMANDI 1, I think they were definitely going for the KAMANDI readers (at the time DC's bestselling title), and in my case it definitely worked! <br />I didn't know or care who John Byrne was at the time, I just thought it was a cool story. It's interesting to see Byrne's work on IRON FIST and other 1975-1976 Marvel titles that he did concurrent with this DOOMSDAY +1 and other Charleton work, until he left it behind and fully made the transition to Marvel.

However you absolutely can't blame the "silly writing" and "bad plot points" for this series on Cuti. He never wrote DD+1. T'was Joe Gill and John Byrne, himself, who wrote this particular mag.

The books were in a stack near the motor oil display. lol. I had walked to the store with my dad during a big snow storm that lasted a week. We needed to buy some basics like milk and bread, and even though I was six years old, I got to walk two miles with my dad in the snow! I had money to buy a few comics, but the owner of the gas & grocery was so impressed that a six year old made the walk in the snow, he gave me 10 of the Charlton comics! My favorite of the lot was DOOMSDAY+1 #1!Lostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14228332266141984524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7897120082101927069.post-32424781443581012822010-06-20T22:14:24.881-04:002010-06-20T22:14:24.881-04:00I have #12 in the john.
