We Have a Winner: Blinded Me with Comics! Plus: Making a Splash, 1980s style!

Before I get into today's post, I just wanna thank all of you Groove-ophiles who took time to vote in my "What should Ol' Groove's next blog be about?" poll. How did it go, you ask? Here are the official results...80s comicbooks led with 43% of the vote. Groove-dom has spoken, and Ol' Groove has heard. Prepare yourselves, then, oh faithful ones, for the coming of Ol' Groove's next blog...Blinded Me with Comics! I've already begun work on it, and plan to have it up and running for your enjoyment and edification by the first Friday in April. Blinded Me with Comics will focus on the Jim Shooter/Dick Giordano Marvel and DC eras, the original Independent Comics Boom (Pacific, Eclipse, First, and all the rest!), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the Black and White Boom/Bust, the British Invasion, plus all the characters and creators who made the MTV decade so memorable.

At this point, I plan on BMwC being a weekly blog, but never fear! I'll put so much into each post, you'll be happy all week long. Besides, you'll still have the good ol' Diversions of the Groovy Kind blog right here every day!

And speaking of the Diversions blog, for today's post I thought I'd toss some memorable splash pages from 1980 atcha! How's that for putting you in the mood for BMwC?
