Fresh Eyes On Old Books #5 by Dan!
I have nothing clever to say this time around, let’s do this! Adventure Comics #302 from 1962 By a specific request from one commenter (Bill D…, who could that be?) I have decided to take a look at some good old fashioned Legion stories. To start off, this isn’t just the Legion of Super-Heroes. It, of course, involves Superboy well before he was Superman in a story that involved robots! Not much there content wise, but the Sun-Boy story was a really good one. Splitting this book into two stories both helps and hurts it. Everything happens nice and quickly, … Continue reading

Phil’s Reviews — Stuff I Bought #178
Hellboy — The Storm #3 (of 3) — Writer: Mike Mignola; Art: Duncan Fegredo Baltimore: The Plague Ships #2 (of 5) — Writers: Mike Mignola and Christopher Golden; Art: Ben Steinbeck These two books are connected because they’re both from the Mignola studio, and both reflect the very high quality of all of its output. Hellboy, of course, is their franchise character, and this issue offers perfect examples of his stubborn, cranky morality: he’s going to do what his gut tells him is right, and if you give him any crap you’re gonna get punched. Add the accomplished horror art … Continue reading

It Came From the Back Room #4
Standard recap: I’m slowly going through AABC’s one-million-plus back-issue room, restocking the boxes on the sales floor and pulling stuff to sell as discount/overstock/special items. I’m going through the alphabet backwards (don’t ask), and at my speed (especially with the school year now in full gear), this amounts to a two-year project. I’ve currently finished the letter “N” and started on the indy “M” books. Here are some of the titles I’ve been encountering: The Nam First published in 1986, The ‘Nam was that rarest of birds: a realistic, well-written war comic. Writer Doug Murray and editor Larry Hama were … Continue reading
