Thanksgiving Feast 2016: Favorite Comics from Groovy Thanksgivings

Happy Thanksgiving, Groove-ophiles! Hope you ate plenty, had a great nap, and spent time with loved ones. Now, back to own annual Thanksgiving Feast!

Comicsbooks have always beens such a huge part of my life, so naturally, some of my best memories involve them. The time off from school for Thanksgiving Break always meant more time for reading comics, and sharing them with cousins and uncles who shared my love of the medium. Here are the covers of a bunch of faves that Young Groove juuuust might've spilled a bit of gravy on...












See ya in six hours for Black (and White) Friday!

Thanksgiving Feast 2016: "Archie Makes His Mark" by Doyle, Lucey, and Epp

Happy Thanksgiving, Groove-ophiles! Just a "light breakfast" this morning--but a tasty one! Prehistoric Archie and the Gang by Frank Doyle, Harry Lucey, and Marty Epp! "Archie Makes His Mark" is from Archie #188 (November 1968)...






Hey, did this story give any inspiration to the song "One Tin Soldier"? Hmm...?

Thanksgiving Feast 2016: "Mission: Dead End!" by Goodwin and Glanzman

Welcome to our annual Thanksgiving Feast, Groove-ophiles! As usual, Ol' Groove'll be putting on his chef's hat to serve up four courses of comicbook delicacies every six hours (right now at 12:02 am, 6:02 am, 12:02 pm, and 6:02 pm)! Our appetizer is by request from Groove-ophile Barbara D., who's been visiting the Diversions for years. Barbara asked for more war comics, mentioning that GI Combat was her fave war mag, so how 'bout Archie Goodwin's debut as Haunted Tank scripter (from GI Combat #159, January 1973)? "Mission: Dead End!" is graced by the gutsy, powerful art of Sam Glanzman, so Ol' Groove's sure you're gonna dig it!
