Reviews Of Old Comics: Dazzler #34
Because we had some fun with Dazzler at the beginning of the month as part of our April Fool's celebration, and it got me wanting to do a review of an old Dazzler comic. Everyone generally assumes that Dazzler: The Movie is a bad comic, albeit the definitive comic for the character, but I find … Continue reading Reviews Of Old Comics: Dazzler #34
Reviews Of Old Comics: What If? #11
What If? #11 October 1978 Today of all days, we need to review a comic that might have had the best of intentions somewhere, but was obviously created with the intention of having fun with a story.

Reviews Of Old Comics: E-Man #2
E-Man #2 May 1983 I like reviewing older comics that may have been forgotten, either due to rarity or just a general lack of continuation over the years. E-Man is one of those series that has not had a large enough profile to keep visible, especially to newer readers. SYNOPSIS: In the office of Private Investigator … Continue reading Reviews Of Old Comics: E-Man #2

Reviews of Old Comics: Legion of Super-Heroes #311
LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #311 May 1984 There's not been a return to my series reviewing the Legion comics as I started reading them for over a month, primarily because of our October Halloween celebration, although I was sorely tempted to do a review of the Ghost of Ferro Lad story from an old Adventure Comics, … Continue reading Reviews of Old Comics: Legion of Super-Heroes #311
Reviews Of Old Comics: Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! #71
RIPLEY'S BELIEVE IT OR NOT! #71 July 1977 My wife loves this series, if for no reason than her memories of reading it at her Granmother's as a child. For that reason, whenever we go on shopping trips for comics, she looks for copies. SYNOPSIS: In the first story, a bird watcher in rural Scotland … Continue reading Reviews Of Old Comics: Ripley’s Believe It Or Not! #71
Reviews Of Old(ish) Comics: Zatanna: Everyday Magic
ZATANNA: EVERYDAY MAGIC 2003 In honor of Halloween Month here at Needless Essentials, I chose to review an old comic that's not quite as old as I would normally consider reviewing for this semi-regular feature. For this, we go back just 11 years, which for some of you may seem like a long time ago, … Continue reading Reviews Of Old(ish) Comics: Zatanna: Everyday Magic
