Fresh Eye on Old Books #16 by Dan!
Well there’s lots of good stuff here. Let’s do this! Showcase #32 from 1961 You know, it’s good to go when the editor thinks it’s necessary to explain how Aquaman and Aqualad talk to each other under water. Oh the 1960s!… This issue is all about Aquaman fighting some giant creature created by a WIZARD From the Past (dun dun dunnnn…) That huge creature begins literally beating up all kinds of different animals throughout the sea (no seriously, he hits a whale shark with a funnel. The creature is trying to steal gold…yes, that’s literally all the plan is. It … Continue reading

Fresh Eyes on Old Books #15 by Dan!
And we’re back! This week will be a special “dead Marvel characters” week at Fresh Eyes, so let’s see what I picked out. Oh! Spoilers ahead, don’t forget that.

The main story is all about the Human Torch in his huge battle … Continue reading

Here we are back for another round of me judging books that came out before I was born! Whoo! Superman 200 from 1967 So this was an “imaginary story” meaning it has absolutely no consequence on the main Superman mythos. To say the least, it was a lot of fun. The bottle city of Kandor is replace by Superman’s home city, Brainiac is a good guy, and Kal-El’s younger brother Knor-El takes over as the new Superman. However, things go bad when Knor is exposed to kryptonite, and Kal-El has to save him. Cue to a crazy-random-happenstance where Green Kryptonite … Continue reading
