I've been meaning to do this one for a while. First, my pointless boycott of John Byrne's work got in the way, but now that we're past that, I think I can review a John Byrne comic that's out of print. I had actually been hoping for it to be included on DC Universe. They've … Continue reading OMAC: One Man Army Corps #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics

Archer & Armstrong / Eternal Warrior #8 – Reviews Of Old Comics
I actually had to look to see if I had already reviewed this issue of Archer & Armstrong. Of all of the original Valiant comics, this one is probably my favorite. It doesn't hurt that it was written and drawn by Barry Windsor-Smith. Early Valiant comics by him are the best of the bunch. I … Continue reading Archer & Armstrong / Eternal Warrior #8 – Reviews Of Old Comics
All-Star Squadron #18 – Reviews Of Old Comics
There are moments in comics history that simply cannot be believed. Roy Thomas seems to know all of them. He ended up putting half of them into All-Star Squadron. I discovered All-Star Squadron about mid-way through the run. I had to go back and find back issues, which was a little daunting, considering that this … Continue reading All-Star Squadron #18 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Avengers #157 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Fans my age tend to have a fondness for the hunt and discovery of of back issues in a time before every moderately-sized city had a comic shop. In the part of North Carolina that I grew up in, the big mother-load of back issues were usually flea markets. I would find some gems at … Continue reading Avengers #157 – Reviews Of Old Comics

Because I'm drawing a blank on what old comic to read next, let's get back to covering the Legion of Super-Heroes stories that hooked me in the 1980's.

Five Legionnaires are missing in Limbo and Lightning … Continue reading Legion Of Super-Heroes #6 – Review Of Old Comics
Elementals #15 – Reviews Of Old Comics
As I write this, it's a slow news day. I'm already a week ahead on these columns, so it doesn't seem like too much of a stretch to put in yet another one. It seems like forever since I did one of these for an independent comic. Of course, in my mind, Phantom Lady doesn't … Continue reading Elementals #15 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Tales To Astonish #13 – Reviews Of Old Comics
I had such a good time with my review of Phantom Lady #13 that I decided to review another really old comic. Marvel Unlimited has about 340 comics before 1962 on their service, and one of them happens to be the first appearance of everyone's favorite tree. I'm talking about Groot. This Groot comes from the … Continue reading Tales To Astonish #13 – Reviews Of Old Comics
Superman & Batman: Generations #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
My fascination with a multiverse hasn't been to the forefront in a while. However, in going back over my coverage of the Multiversity Guidebook, I was really fond of Earth-38. That Earth is based entirely on the series of Elseworlds series Superman & Batman: Generations. The premise of the series is that Superman and Batman … Continue reading Superman & Batman: Generations #1 – Reviews Of Old Comics
