Our Pal Sal: "Firefall!" by Mantlo and Buscema

Greetings, Groove-ophiles! We're gonna kick this week off with Bill Mantlo and Sal Buscema's "Firefall!" from ROM, Spaceknight #3 (November 1979). Action, dire wraiths, and a new hero/villain wearing Spaceknight armor! Is it any wonder we loved ROM so much, Groove-ophiles? Especially when you consider Our Pal Sal's action-packed, emotional art! And dig that Frank Miller/Terry Austin cover!

The Grooviest Covers of All Time: Marvel Goes Giant-Size (Part One)

Ah, Groove-ophiles, can ya remember back in early 1974 to early 1975 when Mighty Marvel unleashed their 68 page, fifty cent Giant-Size line of quarterly comics? A bonus-length lead feature plus a classic Silver Age (or even Golden Age if we were lucky) tale, all square-bound and stapled under some of the best Gil Kane, John Romita, Frank Brunner, Rich Buckler, and many others' color-splashed covers...  Here (in no particular order) are a few of Ol' Groove's faves from the pre-re-print Giant-Size era!
